Advice on what to buy
-
Hi guys,
I have a lovely little business managing and creating content for businesses online. I specialise in food, fashion and hospitality and am looking for a multi purpose camera that would be relatively easy to use with the best quality photographs in both low light and high light settings. I have up to now been using a Canon Ixus for my photographs but I would like to upgrade to something better but haven’t a clue where to start. Is there anyone that can help me? Thanks
My advice would be to buy a camera with the ability to change lenses. Therefore you’re not limiting yourself to one fixed lens, also, wireless connection ability is great, you can take a photo and transfer it for editing and /or posting to a website / social media in super fast time, I won’t recommend any particular brand of camera but having a list of what requirements you need and expect of your camera is a great way of selecting your new camera, whether it be online, reading the specs and reviews of cameras or at your local Photography supply store. If you haven’t already acquired your new camera then good luck hunting and if you have then maybe you can let us know what you got and how you’re finding it.
Hi Digital Unicorn:-)
Hope your business is going well.
If you haven’t got a camera sorted yet my advice would be buy a used semi pro or pro Nikon camera from somewhere like Conns Cameras or Berminghams.
They’ll be guaranteed and are easier to use than most new cameras. A card reader will sort your connection to laptop.
Options I would give you are:a: D300 with the 18-55 – Excellent crop sensor and I use one for teaching students. €500 used including lens approx.
b: D700 with 24mm and 50mm primes. Super low light performance and the with the primes will give you stunning images. €1000 – 1200 used including lenses approx.
You are more than welcome to try out the D300 and I also have a D810 almost similar to the D700.
