I am looking to get my first dslr camera, and after getting lots of advice from different people and scouring the net for a good entry level camera I think the canon 1000d and 1100d are the best ones for the budget I have, although the 450d sounds like it’s good too…
Is it worth paying extra to get the 1100d? I would be nice to be able to take videos, but I’m not that bothered really, I’m more interested in photos. Also eventually I would like to be able to buy a decent telephoto lens with stabilization (or now if I can afford it!) so any advice or reviews about them would be great – I’m interested in wildlife photography. If I get the 1000d which is cheaper I would possibly be able to afford a telephoto lens right now too, but would this not be worth it in the long run?
Any reviews, advice, recommendations etc would be really really great as I’m new to all of this.
Final question, you get a 18-55mm lens kit with most canons for a little bit extra, I’m guessing it would be worth me getting this as I have nothing at the moment?
Hello.. still trying to settle on which camera will be my first dslr. The info I’ve researched and the advice I’ve gotten have pointed me to the nikon 3100. I’ve also heard good things about the olympus e620. One thing that concerns me is this: someone warned me the nikon 3100 does not have image stabilization. How much of a problem is this? does this mean I will be a slave to the tripod (I want to avoid this!!) Does anyone have a better suggestion for a high-quality entry level dslr (my usage is mostly nature/landsacpe photos and some sports)? Thanks so much
I narrowed down my options into these 2 entry-level cameras.. torn between these 2. Any suggestions PLEASE..
Considerations: dimensions and weight (for travelling purposes), ease of use, warranty + quality of the product, CAPTURING PHOTOS: YES, VIDEO: not much 6-7/10, price not much of an issue
I need suggestions from users of either of the two or of their previous models..
PS: It’s my first dSLR camera
thanks!!

I’m a 13 year old boy in the city and I’m looking for a entry level DSLR.
And I’m stuck between the E-PL1 or NEX-3/NEX-5 or GF1.
I want to be able to take good photos (obviously) and take good, high quality video.
The high quality video is very important because I make youtube videos (http://www.youtube.com/yttobychanthesecond : D) and I’m also hoping that the camera has continuous auto-focus while video recording.
I don’t really care about the size.
I often take really close up photos (just because I think it’s cool), so could you guys also give me any advice on what lenses to choose?
I’m buying a new camera and want to get a DSLR because I want to be able to have more options with my photos. I’d really like to spend less than 0, but am willing to go a little more if it makes a huge difference in quality.
I am new to photography and will be taking courses on it soon. I have been researching dslr’s mainly the Nikon d5000, Nikon d7000, Canon Rebel T1i and Canon 60d. My goal is to buy a dslr that I can start out with (hopefully make a little money after I learn) as well as have for a while to make a career out of. I would love to have the Nikon d300 or a higher model but can’t afford those at the moment. What is a good camera I can use for portraits, kids, and after experience…weddings to start out with but can give photos a professional look? I’m not at all interested in starting with a film camera so please don’t give advice or recommendations on those. Also can you plz tell me which groups the cameras listed above fall into entry level or semi-pro?
The courses I am taking require a digital slr. The school has an introductory to photography class for film cameras and another introductory to photography for digital slrs.
I do a lot of filming, and love to shoot photos.
so i would really like a camera that shoots videos in HD quality and great pictures.
i have been searching for many but i don’t believe i know enough yet to pick one out.
There are so many to choose from and i would really appreciate if someone showed me some great choices. preferably under 700 dollars.
thanks a lot.
this is some photos taken with the nikon d3000 this is a very nice 10mp dslr camera it has a cool guide mode and it comes with a nice lens perfect camera for 499.99 if you are looking for a great deal on and entry level dslr get this camera it rocks
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
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.
