I want my first DSLR to be easy to use. And it’s video mode should be really nice too, it should be easy to capture videos. ( like you do on an iPhone) you press one button and it records videos, and everything is in focus, I don’t want to manually focus which is hard. and I’m not serious about photography, just want to take good pictures when with friends and family. just want best image quality possible on an entry level DSLR

Pentax K-R ( 18-55mm )
Nikon d3100 (18-55mm)
Sony a33. (18-55mm)
Sony nex 5 (18-55)

I love Sony a33 – it’s a really good DSLR with best specs you can get for that but it’s soo unpopular, so few people use it. I don’t understand why? It has less videos of it on YouTube too. It’s underrated! the main problem is battery – I can carry a few batteries

Nikon d3100 – it’s a also a good DSLR but not not as good as a33 on paper, and it’s video focusing is also bad – compared to a33

Help me choose , and if you think you hav any other DSLR in mind better than a33 plz suggest me thank you

I’ve been back and fourth on what to get and I was hoping someone with experience on these type of cameras could help. I’ve had about 3-4 years hands on with the Nikon d40 an I wanted to move on to videos now but I want pictures still also so I just wanted to know the basics and what some of you thought on it I’ve been looking at the d3100 vs d5100 any opinion or help would be great. Thanks.

Simple point and shoot pocket camera or an entry level DSLR? These aren’t professional shots – just for my own enjoyment. I have friends who have suggested the FujiFilm Finepix S2950 and the Nikon Coolpix L120.

These are indoor shows and I’m usually fairly close to the stage. I want something that won’t blur (musicians move a lot!) too easily and works well in different lighting. Which of those two up there is the best bet/do you have a better suggestion for me? I’d prefer to keep it under 300 since this is a hobby not a job camera.
Yes, I know. With the bands I see, it’s not an issue.

I have been researching DSLR’s lately, and came up with these three options (in my budget):
-Nikon D3000 (0)
-Nikon D5000 (0)
-Nikon D3100 (0)

This would be my first DSLR camera, so I just need some advice on both cameras and lenses. My sister’s friend from college actually gave me some advice. She has a D90 and will be taking my senior pics. She told me that a Nikon D3100 would be the best option. However, this is the most expensive camera I would be willing to buy at this point.

I have been told the D3100 has a lot of nice features, and although it’s more expensive, it would be a great camera for me to grow into as my knowledge of photography and cameras grows as well. The D3000, on the other hand, has been said to be one of the best entry-level "for-beginners" DSLR camera.

So, I am wondering, should I invest in the more expensive camera, or just go with the cheap one? Also, which lens(es) should I be considering. I think at this point, if I were to buy the expensive camera, I would go for a lens under or around 0. If I were to buy the cheaper camera, I could probably spend up to twice that amount on a lens.

So…which camera would be best for me? And which lenses should I pair with it? Thanks in advance!

I want to save up for a new DSLR camera but I’m not sure which one to get. I know that it’s not the camera that takes the picture and that it’s up to me to expose the shot correctly to get the best photo, but I want to know which camera is easiest to operate or quickest to operate. I feel like the T2i or T3i would be easier because they’re entry-level, but the 60D would be quicker because it has the wheel on the back to change the aperture quicker. I also heard that the Rebels tend to get front heavy with bigger lenses, how big would a lens have to be for it to feel front heavy? I also want to save up for a lens that I believe goes up to 200mm, would that be too much for the Rebels to handle without getting front heavy? Because I don’t want to lug around a battery grip with a T2i/T3i just so some lenses won’t make it front heavy, I’d rather just get the 60D at that point.
Basically, out of these 3 cameras, which one do you think would be best to learn off of and use for the next 3-4 years? Thanks.

I am, essentially, a beginner photographer. I have a Canon SD960 IS point and shoot camera at the moment, and I know all the basic features of a DSLR, so learning isn’t going to be a problem. I found two cameras that I am very interested in, but can’t decide between the two. I am deciding between the Canon EOS Digital Rebel T3 and the Nikon D5000. I’m not looking to spend a fortune, and both of these cameras are around 0 on Best Buy. I am not well versed enough in DSLR lingo to know which one is better. Could someone help me out? Thank you!
