New to the whole D-SLR Camera thing, your advice?
Hey everybody, I’m new to the whole D-SLR camera thing. I love taking pictures with regular digital cameras, but I think it’s really time to step it up. I’m taking a digital photography class at my college next semester and I want to go in prepared. I’ve spoken to a few photographers so far and I’ve received pretty consistent advice: Canon or Nikon. I just want to know what models I should be interested in. The people that I spoke to recommended the Canon T1I and the Nokia D5000. What are your take on these suggestions? I’m not looking to break the bank on these purchases, so I’ll most likely buy a refurbished/floor model to save a hundred or so bucks. Any and all opinions/hints/tips/tricks would be very helpful. If you know where to get the cameras a bit cheaper, please let me know.
Thanks!
Michael
the brands to choose from are Sony, Olympus, Pentax, Canon and Nikon. There are other brands like Leica and Panasonic (Lumix), but they are generally more expensive.
It means nothing to tell you one is better than the other. The only reason people suggest one or the other is that they know that one and nothing else.
