Choosing a DSLR
-
28-12-2012 8:20pm#1HI I am on the hunt for an SLR and am getting bamboozled by all the models out there at the moment! At the moment I'm using a Nikon bridge camera and am in the market for a camera with the option of full manual settings when necessary!
Am looking at the Nikon D3000 (http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/5593189/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CPhotography%7C14419436/c_2/3%7Ccat_19780865%7CDigital+SLR+cameras%7C25417975.htm) and the Canon EOS1100D (http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/5594463/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CPhotography%7C14419436/c_2/3%7Ccat_19780865%7CDigital+SLR+cameras%7C25417975.htm), have any of you used or own one of these and do you have opinions on either of them! Also for comparison I see argos have the Canon EOS600D (http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/5594494/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CPhotography%7C14419436/c_2/3%7Ccat_19780865%7CDigital+SLR+cameras%7C25417975.htm), this has 18MP where as the 1100D only has 12MP but generally the rest of features look very similar and the camera is double the price.
I would really appreciate your thoughts on all of these cameras as I'm finding it hard to make a decision on which one to buy! Thanks a million

Actually why you're looking for DSLR? Your bridge camera is not enough anymore? I assume that you don't have any lenses yet, but unfortunately those are most important in SLR. Again, unfortunately those KIT lenses won't make your photography any better and you'll get rid of them pretty quickly. Also do you print your photos often in poster size? If not then you don't really need more than 10MP as you will easily get 16x20 inches photo.
Maybe you could take into consideration compact G1X or G15, those two are small but powerful cameras, however if you really like to have SLR then take a look at different lenses just because sooner or later you might pay an arm and a leg for really good lens.
What's your budget? You can get decent second hand full frame for €400-€700 (e.g. Canon 5d) plus nice lens for starters Canon 50mm f/1.8 (circa €80), but for similar price (circa €600) you can get brand new Canon G15 with very interesting lens 6.1-30.5mm f/1.8-2.8. All depends from your personal preferences, style, photography type and budget
Good luck and take a look here.0 -
