Hi, I want to learn more about photography. I have been taking amateurish photos for about 6 years with a point and shoot Canon Powershot. I want to buy a DSLR for xmas. After doing a 10 minute research I found this
The a330 is a great entry level DSLR for a first timer to learn photography and grow interest with, very user-friendly…. more reviews at: www.amazon.com
I’m running into hard times financially. My hours have been cut at work, my mom is disabled. My sister and I both pay the bills, she’s already given her two weeks notice and she’s leaving her job, but doesn’t have another lined up. So who knows how long I’ll be doing it by myself.
I was going to buy a digital SLR before I go to Florida, which is in 3 weeks, but now I’m not sure if I should. SLR’s are the camera’s that professionals use. I was going to buy an entry level one and it costs about 0. Should I save my money until things get better or should I stick with my plan to buy a DSLR before I go on my trip? If I don’t buy one, I still have a camera to take pics with, they just won’t be as beautiful. I think I might feel guilty if I spent the money now. Should I stick to my gut feeling and wait?
The one I was going to buy is called the Nikon D60, and I was also interested in the Canon xsi.
I have some savings, it’s not a lot. I think it’s enough to pay the bills for about 3 months. Getting a used one sounds like a great idea, how do I know if it’s actually a good camera (meaning, not broken or defective)?
I’m not paying for the trip to Florida, my boyfriend is. Well..he’s paying for a majority of the trip, I am just paying for half of the hotel cost. He won’t lend me the money for the DSLR because I already have a point and shoot. He thinks that there is no need for a new camera because I got the one last year.
I always knew I liked photography, I just didn’t know much about it. Now I know that my current camera is limiting. It’s holding me back from discovering my potential. If I have no talent, at least I’d have a camera that takes great photos. I think I will get the D40…eventually. Thanks a lot.
I’m between Sony A330 (18-55 lens & 55-200, 4GB card) 9
Canon Cybershot sx90 9
Nikon P100 for 9
Nikon P90 9
I’ll probably stay at a fairly basic photography level… just a side interest I want to get into. Any help deciding would be great. I’m just confused if a SLR would be sufficient or should I just spent the extra 0 something for a DSLR
What order would you rate those cameras?
I’m into photography and I have a Sony point and shoot at the moment so it’ll be my first DSLR. What I’m mainly wondering is whether I’m going to regret buying the XS in a year or two because it’s too "entry-level." Should I buy an XSi instead or even a more expensive camera?
I do know that d3000 was designed as an entry level model, and it is currently in production. But the d60 is classified as a ‘mid range’ model on wikipedia, but is an older model, as the d5000 was now replaced it.
The Nikon d60 and d3000 is the same price (both NZ00). I just wanted to know which is the better camera for a dslr beginner.
And is Nikon actually the brand of DSLR to go for?
My opinion on this camera – A great professional low budget camera. This camera can definitely pump out some great shot’s. 18-55 MM. These were some shot’s I have taken in the past 2 years with this camera. I would recommend this Canon to anyone coming from a point & shoot camera. I also prefer this camera over the competitors, Nikon D40 and D60. A great buy. Camera Labs Review/Summary – When Canon first announced the EOS 450D / Rebel XSi in January 2008, most assumed it would be the natural successor to the best-selling EOS 400D / Rebel XTi, but the older model was kept on as an entry-level proposition. Then in June 2008 Canon announced the EOS 1000D / XS as its new entry-level DSLR and the true successor to the 400D / XTi. The EOS 1000D / XS shares several key aspects in common with its predecessor, most notably the 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor which continues to deliver excellent results — indeed in our tests with the default settings, the output was sometimes preferable to the 450D / XSi. The screen on the new body is also the same size as the 400D / XTi, although now brighter with a wider viewing angle. The body shape has additionally been refined and it’s now the lightest DSLR from Canon to date, while also adopting the 450D / XSi’s switch to SD memory and a new battery. But the major improvements over the 400D / XTi are support for Live View and the standard bundling of an Image Stabilised lens.
I’d like to buy a DSLR but don’t want an entry level model as I want a camera that I’ll keep for a while. Have settled on Canon or a Nikon, but any other recommendations would be appreciated.
I am debatting on geting a SLR or a DSLR. Apparently the Pentax K100d Super is a really good beginners camera and it has that anti shake, but the Canon Rebel K2 is suppose to be a good entry level SLR. Im confused. Should i start off by learning with a K2 or should i get the Pentax K100d?
