Which camera to buy??
-
Where was the Sony ?
Sony Alpha 230 right now 323.99 Euro in Argos, Grab It :-)
I bought it last week , FABULOUS .hi
new to all this my self it took me ages to find the right camera aswell went for the nikon d5000 in the end,as michael said go into argos when you make up your mind there are great offers at the moment. i saved nearly 200 euros on mine i got mine for 650 euros most shops in dublin are 800-850.harvey norman are doing the nikon d90 now for 999.i did not find alot of differance between nikon and cannon it was just the nikon felt better in my hand.good lookI am only a newbie on here although have had a love of photography for years. My own personal experience is that, like Mark and Alan says-you have to handle the different make of camera’s in the flesh, see how they feel in your hand. My husband would never buy any power tools without picking them up and seeing how they feel :roll: How the weight feels in your hand, where the buttons and other gizmo’s are-are they easy for you to use?All these things are really key. I think camera’s are the same. You know as soon as you put one in your hands if its the right weight and balance and should feel like an extension of your hand. Doesnt have to be feather light. I also think that when you get up to a certain level of camera’s like the DSLR-whatever the make, they all have specs to recommend them. I love Nikon lenses and the Sigmas lense as well, others would love the Canon or another make!
Well like yourself I have been looking into getting a new bit of kit.
I looked at the Canon and the Nikon. But you have to give some consideration to what you are going to
Use it for and if you will be adding lenses as you go along. Now if your camera dose not have a stabiliser built in then you shall have to buy lenses with it built in. This adds to the price of any future lenses.
Then the price you pay is of the same importance. How much do you have to spend and what will you get for your cash.
I myself got a price on a camera here in Ireland of 799 Euro for one make and I got a price of 556 Euro when I shopped on line. At a place called simply Electronics.
So I would advise you to number one get a price for what ever camera you desire and then shop around.
As any money you save is better off in your pocket and you can use it to get yourself some extras.
So shop around is my advice to youbrianireland wrote:
