HI im thinking of getting a digital slr, my money is low but im only a begginer and wondering would you guys have any suggestions as to where i could get one or get a good second hand one.
Whats your budget??
Thers a few good deals in the equipment for sale section on this site.
€600-€700 will get you an awful lot these days.
Thanks for your reply constantine
my budget is embarrasing its about 300 euro but i have a panasonic lumix DMC-FZ7 which i would consider selling if upgrading to slr is a better choice.
Should i stick with the camera i have whilst im still learning or is it a better investment for a novice to upgrade to slr, I really dont know!!! :shock: :D :D :D
Keep taking pictures with the camera you have and do some research on the cameras available at the moment. As you take more pictures you will get to know the types of features you need in a camera and can make an informed decision on which model / make to go for. Once you make an investment in lenses etc for the make you initially choose you will probably stick with the same brand for a few years at least. Best to give yourself some time to make the right choice. I convinced myself when I started taking pictures that I would not be able to take good pictures until I spent a load of dough on fancy gear. Don’t get sucked into this way of thinking. You can take good picture with pretty much any camera, and upgrade when you know what you’re looking for.
well, you can get an slr on ebay for that kind of money, http://cgi.ebay.ie/OLYMPUS-E-410-D-SLR-DIGITAL-CAMERA-E410-14-42mm_W0QQitemZ270248082211QQihZ017QQcategoryZ31388QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
but as with all things, buyer beware. i’m lucky enough not to have a negative experience but i bought all my gear at a reputable high street store. so…
and i agree with the other comments, keep taking pics. you might regret buying an slr if you realise you want something more…so might be better to save up first.
sorry for such a non answer :)
