I've been interested in photography for quite a while. But I haven't gotten around to buying a professional camera. I have a digital camera that I've used that is very poor quality. I usually use my phone camera. DSLRs (photography cameras) are extremely costly and expensive.

I need a company that is best quality.
I need a place to buy them for lower prices.

Thank youuu!(:

Answer
Pros use Nikon and Canon for a variety of reasons but they donât use Nikon or Canon consumer DSLRs. Pros can justify the expense of Nikon and Canon specialty lenses where the average consumer cant. Pros make money from the expensive equipment they buy but the average consumer doesnât. Just because pros use a particular brand doesnât mean its better for the average user. Nikon and Canon took hold because of aggressive marketing in which other manufacturers chose not to participate. It doesnât mean there are no other high quality DSLRs available.

If youre shopping for lower prices chances are youre not purchasing a pro camera. A pro camera will run around $2000 minimum.

If you want very high quality images without the added cost of the Nikon and Canon names go for the Pentax K-x. In tests it performs better than the Nikon D3000 and about equal to the D5000. See the comparison
http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/eng/Image-Quality-Database/Compare-cameras/(appareil1)/331|0/(appareil2)/320|0/(appareil3)/345|0/(onglet)/0/(brand)/Nikon/(brand2)/Nikon/(brand3)/Pentax

The K-x performs better than both the Canon XS and Xsi. See comparison here
http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/eng/Image-Quality-Database/Compare-cameras/(appareil1)/268|0/(appareil2)/185|0/(appareil3)/345|0/(onglet)/0/(brand)/Canon/(brand2)/Canon/(brand3)/Pentax

The K-x outperforms the Canon T2i and Canon 50D See the comparison here
http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/eng/Image-Quality-Database/Compare-cameras/(appareil1)/345|0/(appareil2)/338|0/(appareil3)/267|0/(onglet)/0/(brand)/Pentax/(brand2)/Canon/(brand3)/Canon

And the K-x outperforms the Canon 7D here with just a hair advantage to the 7D at high ISO
http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/eng/Image-Quality-Database/Compare-cameras/(appareil1)/345|0/(appareil2)/329|0/(onglet)/0/(brand)/Pentax/(brand2)/Canon

Go to this link and compare the K-x to Canon and Nikon. It outperforms any of their cameras in its price range and better than or equal to some of their more expensive models. Use âCompare Camerasâ
http://www.dxomark.com/

The K-x has Image Stabilization and Auto Focus in the body. These are in the lenses with Nikon. AF is in lenses with Canon. Why pay for IS and AF over and over with each lens you buy? Having IS and AF in the body will save money on lenses for as long as you have the camera. The K-x also has HD video for the price of cameras with no video at all.

Here are price comparisons in your range from B&H Photo except as noted

Pentax K-x w/18-55 $521 HD video
Pentax K-x w/18-55 and 50-200 $625 HD video
Pentax K-x w/18-55mm and 55-300mm $715 HD video
Nikon D3000 w/18-55 $550 No video
Nikon D5000 w/18-55 $700 HD video
Rebel XS (1000D) w/18-55 $530 No video
Rebel XSi (450D) w/18-55 $560 No video

âThe Pentax Kx has enormous value, thanks to its remarkable image and print quality, fine build, and class-leading burst speed, all combining to make one impressive digital SLR camera. The Pentax Kx is a Daveâs Pick. For sheer image quality at a wide range of ISOs, the Pentax Kx is tough to beat, especially for the price.â

DCResource
âThe Pentax K-x is an impressive entry-level digital SLR. It brings very good image quality (especially with a decent lens), snappy performance, tons of features, HD movie recording, and good build quality to the table. If youâre looking for your first digital SLR, then the K-x should be high on your list.â

âUltimately, this is a beginner-friendly model featuring most of the latest must-havesâ

Some will argue there are more Nikon and Canon lenses available. Its true. Check the prices. Can you afford all the lenses available? If you can do you plan on buying each and every one? There are more than enough Pentax and third party lenses available for any photographer.

What do you think is the best photography camera to use for modeling?

Answer
What you want is a DSLR camera, you will gain in quality mainly because a DSLR has a bigger sensor than a point and shoot camera. In regards to lens, which is very important, a short zoom is good to start with and later you can add any other lenses that you discover help fit your needs.

There are a number of good brands so don't be sold on the idea one brand is better than another. I would keep your costs down. I would get a DSLR with a short zoom (like a 18-55mm) to start for around $425 to $650. Either a 10MP or 12MP will do just fine.

Below, I listed some links where you can look up reviews and see what camera works best for you. Also I included some links to some dealers so that you can try and get the best price. Some of these dealers have some of these cameras with some nice extras, free shipping is very common, and sometimes they are offering a free memory card and/or camera bag. Sometimes you have to click in the âadd to cartâ button to see the actual price.

Here are some models that I think are well worth researching:

Sony Alpha A230 Digital SLR 10 MP with 18-55mm Lens - $429

Nikon D3000 10MP DSLR Digital Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens - $449
Nikon D5000 12MP DSLR Digital Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens - $50

EOS Rebel XS 10MP DSLR Digital Camera Kit (Black) with 18-55mm IS Lens - $449
EOS Rebel XSi 12MP DSLR Digital Camera Kit (Black) with 18-55mm IS Lens - $565

Pentax K-x 12MP DSLR with 18-55mm Zoom (has HD Video also) - $550

Hope this helps. Good luck.
