dslr camera lens buying guide image
Kevin L
Hello I will be in the market to buy a decent quality DSLR camera. I know analog cameras but digital is a whole new and different thing to learn. Prefer to spend less than a grand but if it really makes a huge difference in picture quality then I will possibly spend more. Are any of these cheaper DSLRs worth the money ? Is Nikon or Canon making some of the better DSLR's or is it some new kids on the block. Leica sounds like its over priced for what they are ? Full frame or not ? I would also like to learn how to use a digital camera since its a completely different way of shooting pictures. My understanding is F stop, and shutter speed doesnt effect the picture the same way a analog camera does ? Many questions as you can see lol. So Im in need of some good resources to or even magazines or books that are really good.
Thank you
Kevin
I will be shooting mostly Macro, and static nature scenes. Will i need two lens's to get the right effects or is there one size lens I can pretty much do everything ? Thanks again for your help

Pop into a local library and have a read at some of the Photography books, you'll get a wide range of information about equipment and techniques.
I tend not to recommend internet websites as they can be a bit 'hit and miss' with information and sometimes difficult to confirm how accurate it actually is, a good 'photo guide' book will have all the latest websites listed.
Canon, Nikon, Pentax and Sony all make decent cameras, you will prefer one Brand to another, some cameras might feel too big or too small in your hands, some just don't feel right at all.
A wide angle to mid telephoto lens would be my recommendation, other people will advise something different - A 18-105mm lens with macro is a very good starting point.
It's really good advice to get familiar with your local camera retailer, don't be afraid to ask questions, this will give you a chance to 'hold' the equipment to see if its a 'good fit'
P.S. Leica is the Rolls Royce of cameras, all photographers would like to have at least one..!

I want a decent digital camera i've noticed some of the Canon or Nikon camera's lens project a great deal outwards... that part of the camera doesn't flatten back into the camera does it? do you have to buy that part separately ??... and are they difficult to use, do i need to have some kind of knowledge a degree in technology to be able to use one of them?

what is a dslr? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dslr and a buying guide. http://www.dpreview.com/learn/?/Guides/dslr_buying_guide_01.htm
Anyone with normal intelligence and willingness to learn can learn to use one of these in a few hours. Really mastering photography will take a lot longer.
