which Camera to buy

**R R8TED** · 10-26-2009, 08:54 PM

hey guys i want to buy a camera, not one of those digital ones. The ones like cooper and kirby use. Now im no professional, not even close. I just took one class of photography, so im looking for a camera thats idiot forgiving. Also I dont really know what lense to look for?

Any advice for a start up camera, It doesnt have to be the best camera, just a nice one.'

thanks,

AK

The ones Kirby and Coop use are Digital SLR or DSLR cameras. I am selling mine here on the photography forums 12K camera new Asking 2500 for it used, but doesnt come with a lens.

Don't mean to kill your sale at all, but a 1d is definitely overkill for someone just starting out.

I was in the same boat a while back and went with the nikon d90 with a 18-200mm lens. the lens gives you a good range so as you begin to shoot more you can zero in on a something more specific to your style preference. I just took a weekend basic intensive photo workshop and learned a ton. A more expensive camera wont give you better pictures if you dont know how to use it.

buy a canon and just to let you know

lens = singular meaning one lens

lenses = plural meaning multiple lenses

just a pet peeve i see all the time

back on topic... any canon camera in the current rebel series is great for starters or used 30/40D

keep us posted

If I were in your position I would probably buy a Canon T1i. Can take both video and photos and well its a Canon so its awesome no matter what

Get any camera you feel comfortable with. Any entry level Nikon or Canon will do the trick if you're just starting out.

My saying is...Giving a bad photographer a really nice camera is like giving a blind man an Enzo...neither has a clue what to do.

I prefer to use my iPhone most of the time now.

I use a point and shoot

kidding. I would recommend a rebel xsi as a great starter. The lens well....that depends on your budget

buy a t1i.. canon its like 800 on amazon, the kit lens is great and image stabilizer on it too.

XSi and XTi are nice too, but for a lil more get the T1i
