Cna anyone help point me in the right direction with a good camera?
I just had a canon a-e1 and the light meter is broken, i have a kodak easyshare Z730, for my digital. I am wondering if going to the canon rebel for 1000, or any other camera such as that one, is worth the $. And if not what is a good direction to go in for a camera. I really have no preference on wheather its a digital or slr or whatever i just really want a good camera. I love photography. Thanks for the help.
The d80 is a very good camera to begin dslr photography- i got mine, my first dslr- d80, it simply functions well, very user-friendly.Go for the 18-200mm vr (yes…. the lens is currently out of stock, but its worth the wait for this superb lens). I made the mistake of getting the kit and the 18-200. The kit lens has become useless.
It helps u while taking photos giving some hints and it is very very fast too.
Although it lacks a self cleaning system- the nikons, dont need one at all, if maintained properly. Also, if u r planning to stick to an all purpose lens like 18-200 u wont need self cleaning at all.
About rival cameras to the d80, go to this link and read the whole text, u’ll definitely make u’r mind up for the d80.
bye and enjoy u’r d80.
