Which camera should I buy?




Inquisitiv


I'm trying to go pro. But, I want to make sure my first d-SLR camera is the best. I have four options in budget range (under 900) I can handle any settings thrown at me but I want to make sure it is the best of what I can afford. If you know of a better one (preferably bundle) that is under 900 let me know. Otherwise< which of these has the best image quality, fastest shooting speed, fastest startup delay, fastest shot-to-shot delay, and fastest shutter lag. I don't care if it's easy to use or hard I'm smart and tech-savvy and also mechanically inclined. So just help me know the best one available.

My Options I've Found:
Nikon D3200 DSLR Camera 2 Lens Bundle
Canon EOS Rebel T3i DSLR Camera 2 Lens Bundle (Cnet says it's a bit slow?)
Pentax K-50 2 Lens Weatherproof DLSR Bundle
Pentax K-30 2 Lens Weatherproof DSLR Bundle

Need quick answers! Is 544 a good deal for a brand new Nikon D3200 bundle?

Answer
I guess, but be warned.

These are NOT lenses but filters which do a poor job at what they purport to do.

A professional photographer uses actual telelphoto lenses like the Nikkor 70-200 mm, not a 52mm 2X Professional Telephoto Lens or High Definition 52mm Wide Angle Lens add-on filter

The marketing people try to fool otherwise intelligent people with buzz words like "Professional" and High Definition" to sell more cheap (low quality) products. A professional lens will cost you upwards of $2,000 and will not have professional anywhere on the lens. HD only refers to video that uses only about 1 mp of the cameras sensor

It is really impossible to tell you if you are getting a good deal without a link to the seller. Usually only sellers that are trying to hawk grey market cameras add all these added "accessories" to make them look like a good deal.

I do not see any mention of a battery and battery charger, nor is the the CD package that comes with each Nikon camera.

This is what comes with the Nikon D3200 kit.

D3200 - Black with AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR
âââââ


* AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR
Super Integrated Coating offers superior color reproduction; silent Wave motor ensures fast, quiet AF operation.
* EN-EL14 Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
* MH-24 Quick Charger
* EG-CP14 Audio/Video Cable
* UC-E17 USB Cable
* DK-20 Rubber Eyecup
* AN-DC3 Camera Strap
* DK-5 Eyepiece Cap
* BF-1B Body Cap
* BS-1 Accessory Shoe Cover
* NikonView NX CD-ROM

Here is a link to that camera and what it really costs.

NOTE: Those listed tripods are also junk. You need to have the camera a while before you need to do some more research to see what tripod you really need. A good tripod should cost you around $100 and should last you a lifetime.
