Camera advice
-
Hey everyone :)
Hoping you all can help on this one. Am in the market for a camera and have narrowed down my choices to either a Nikon or Canon (they’re pretty much the market leaders from what I have read and let’s face it, that’s always a good thing in my book). I’m willing to spend up to or just over the €1,000 mark. I want to go with the dslr, I’m pretty serious about building a career and want to start as I mean to go on.
I do have my little heart set on a Canon EOS 50D but have been put off somewhat by people’s comments on the weight etc. Am a bit of a slip of a girl type and don’t want a camera that requires my going to the gym to build up muscles for!! :lol:
Have also been looking at the Nikon D90, which is a tad cheaper (YAY – more money for other toys!).
Both of these cameras I’d be thinking about buying body only and getting the lenses after the fact, as I was advised that the lenses that come with the starter kits leave a little to be desired.
Any help or advice you learned ones could offer would be great, I am EXTREMELY new to all of this so please not too technical, or I’ll be all day googling stuff :lol:
Oh and another point in favour of the Canon is the fact the boyfriend has Canon’s, and spare lenses I could beg/borrow/steal till I have my own collection up n running :twisted:
Why not look for a second hand 40D from Canon. I dont know if the 50D is as good as people say. I have a 40D and its a great camera and a real “All Rounder” landscapes .wildlife,sports etc.
For €1000 you could pick up a camera and a lensThanks Dan, that’s kinda what I’m looking for alright, an all-singing, all-dancing type for now :)
Will have a gander round at the 2nd hand 40D’s, if they can save me a few quid happy days! All the more money to spend on lenses n the like! 8)
