What is the best DSLR Camera under £400?




Ben


I am looking into getting my first DSLR Camera as I am currently studying photography at A level and I need a better camera for a wider range of photographic possibilities. Due to me being at 6th form, however, means that I am not rich, and so I want a top camera for a low price (not eBay). There is a possibility of me buying lenses, too, if that makes a difference. Cheers.


Answer
An Olympus E-420.

Excellent camera.

If you don't mind second hand, try this Olympus E-410 twin lens kit.

Worth mentioning that these Olympuses have a 2x crop factor if you're used to 35mm cameras and to get the equivalent sizes you have to double the marked focal length ie 14-42mm lens acts like a 28-84mm (most DSLRs have a 1.6 crop factor).

which camera is better?? NEED HELP ASAP!?




Moo


Which one is better and why??? I simply want a good quiality photo/camera that you can blur out the backround as well as do good action/sport shots. What do you think?? I have an Fujifilm finepix s x18zoom so i wont a better one than this :)

Answer
The blurry effect is actually called 'shallow depth of field'.

It will be harder to get it on cameras that have small sensors.

Two of those mentioned are point & shoots. Only one is a DSLR - the D3100.

If you use a fast lens (like a 50mm f1.8 lens) or a macro lens on the D3100 you will get shallow depth of field.
