What digital camera should I get?
I’m taking a class in Digital Photography next year and I need a decent digital camera that is “single lens reflex digital camera or appoint and shoot digital camera with manual override setting that allows for shutter speed and aperture priority settings and complete manual settings.”
Unfortunately I don’t have any idea what those words mean.
I have a smaller price range though so nothing TOO expensive.
What do you recommend?
Canon 1100D and Nikon D3100 both are good entry level camera,
Nikon D3100 have good video mode, and supports Auto Focus while shooting movie, Canon 1100D not support AF during movie mode.
Nikon D3100 support DX and Few FX lenses (AF-S), Canon 1100D supports all EF and EF-S lenses.
