What Camera to buy?

Recommended Posts

I am looking to get a good SLR, I have quite a bit of experience in photography but this will be my first digital SLR. I do have a budget of about £500, though i will spend more if i have to. I am really looking at a Nikon or a Canon. I have looked at everything from the D40, D90 (which is a bit out of my budget) and the EOS 500 and 1000.

I want the camera for hobby and possible professional use.

So if anyone can suggest the best one that would be great.

Thankyou

This isn't really a "security camera" topic (maybe a mod can move the thread to the appropriate area), but...

 

My standard advice to anyone looking for a DSLR is: look at your specs and price range and narrow your choice down to two or three models, then...

 

GO TO THE STORE AND USE THEM. Handle each of them, turn them around in your hands, work the controls, navigate the menus, fire some test shots, swap some lenses... and choose the one that is MOST COMFORTABLE FOR YOU!

 

Ultimately, the best camera is the one that gets used, and a camera that you find confusing and frustrating and uncomfortable to operate is more likely to sit on a shelf collecting dust, where all the specs and measurements and arguments in the world will mean absolutely squat. Nobody else can tell you which model or brand you'll enjoy using, and ENJOYING photography is the most important thing!
