Digital Photography Course Sydney

1

What's a good digital camera for someone who is starting photography? ?

I am going to do a photography course and would like to know what digital camera to get, something that is affordable but yet does a professional job!

I know they will teach me all this when I start, but just doing some research at the moment ;)

Oh, does anyone know of any other good photography courses/institutions out there (an affordable one)? I live in Sydney metro.

Thanks.

Actually for learning photography, buying a good used Nikon or Canon 35 mm SLR is a better tool. For that reason, most schools that offer photography, start the student using film. For this reason, you may want to find your class first before you spend over $600 for a DSLR and lens.

When learning any skill, it is a slow process of learning all the major components necessary to get the basics and more time and patience honing those skills.

Perhaps the greatest drawback to attempting to learn "photography" using a digital system is the difficulty in troubleshooting exposure, focusing or camera movement cannot be addressed when the user just deletes the problem. With a roll of film, all the mistakes and misconceptions are right there and usually a student will shoot the roll of film and after development and contacting the negatives, "see" the results for the first time. Nothing can be deleted, so the complete process can be examined by the student and instructor and the resulting discussion is instrumental in rapid understanding of the strengths and weaknesses as the student progresses. Further when the student attempts to print negatives that are exposed improperly or over or under developed, they learn quickly why it is so important to get the exposure as close to perfect as possible. The next roll of film they shoot is usually much more accurate then exposed by the student and more care is usually taken when developing, so the second or third assignments can be printed with less darkroom manipulation necessary.

That said, here is a link to the most popular entry level DSLR camera and lens combination.
