What is the best all around Digital SLR Camera...I need Tips!!!!?
I am Taking Media arts classes with a major Photography focus this fall semester to obtain a degree. I need to get some tips on buying the right Camera and equiptment for this awsome venture.
I thank you all in advance for your answers.....digitalD
I am thinking about a Canon Rebel XT, Which runs for around $800 to $1000. I may be able to get it cheaper on ebay.
If you're planning to get serious about photography, you may want to consider any of the mid-to-high-end digital SLRs from Canon or Nikon. There are other good manufacturers out there, but no other manufacturer comes close to Canon or Nikon in terms of their selection of lenses, both new and used. I have owned both brands over the past 25 years and am confident you will find great products from either manufacturer. You will definitely find that some people gravitate to one brand over the other; it's a lot like Ford vs. Chevy drivers...once you get hooked on a particular brand, it's tough to think of buying another.
My recommendation: Go to a good local photo store and find a salesperson who knows the equipment. Try out a few cameras and find the one you like. Remember that the camera body plays a secondary role in photography...the lenses are the most important purchase you can make. Check out www.kenrockwell.com for lens reviews. Also check out www.DPReview.com. This site offers both camera reviews as well as commentary from photographers.
You should be able to find a good body for $500-$1,500. The price of lenses will vary widely. Get a couple of good lenses to start with -- only after you shoot a lot of photographs will you learn what lenses make the most sense for your personal style.
Best wishes!
