So I am into photography and in a couple classes and I finally feel ready to get a DSLR camera. I was thinking of getting a canon but I am open to nikon too, I also would like video with it which would make my price range pretty expensive. The highest I would spend would be 1300, I am not looking for the "best" and most "professional" camera just one that is good quality and an overall good camera. So any suggestions?


Answer
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 $550 to $1100. Either a 12MP or 15MP will do just fine.

Below, I listed some links where you can look up reviews and see what camera works best for you.

The first link listed below is to a web page that lists the 4 DSLR cameras that can also do HD video that I am recommending you compare. This list will let you compare features and specs, also it has links to reviews of the cameras, the reviews include sample images from the cameras.

Also I included some links to some dealers so that you can try and get the best price. Some of these dealers are including 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 with estimated prices:

Nikon D5000 12MP DSLR Digital Camera w/18-55mm VR Lens - $659
Nikon D90 12MP DSLR Digital Camera w/18-105mm VR Lens - $1065
Canon EOS Rebel T1i (500D) 15MP DSLR w/EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens - $769
Pentax K-x 12MP DSLR with 18-55mm Zoom lens - $550

Of a quick side note: I am a Nikon user, but think all three cameras are excellent. I like that the Nikon D5000 has the movable LCD screen, that would seem to be valuable in doing video. I am very intrigued by the Pentax K-x partly because it does HD video but also because of how impressive it seems to work at high ISO settings which can be great help in low light situations (see the photo.net link below). Do some research, I would ask some questions in the discussion forums at photo.net where photographers can share their experiences and samples of their work.

Hope this helps. Pick a price range, some features you know you want, and even consider which camera feels good in your hand a factor. Plenty of great cameras, get one you like and start learning the principles of photography and you will be on your way to making some great images. If you think I can be of any help, please to do contact me.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Can someone name the differences between a digital camera and a DSLR for me?

I wanna get a Fujifilm Finepix 2800HD camera. In a review it said that it had the model of a DSLR camera but it wasn't ACTUALLY a DSLR camera.


Answer
The term DSLR generally refers to cameras that resemble 35 mm format cameras, although some medium format cameras are technically DSLRs.
Most digital single-lens reflex cameras (digital SLR or DSLR) are
digital cameras that use a mechanical mirror system and
pentaprism to direct light from the lens to an optical viewfinder on the back of the camera.
The reflex design scheme is a major difference between a DSLR
and an ordinary digital point-and-shoot camera, which typically
exposes the sensor constantly to the light projected by the lens, allowing the camera's screen to be used as an electronic
viewfinder.
