Kit Nikon Pentax
What DSLR to buy as a first serious camera?
I am new to serious photography. Until now, I have only used those point and shoot cameras from pentax to sony, olympus, canon and the lot. All gimmicky. Now, my wife's a designer and she has been asking me to get a camera to shoot her creations. I also have some interest in photography and i have played around with a friends old Nikon F5, D80 etc.
I have seen through the market and I think a $1000 (Rs 45-50k) price point is good enough investment. I have been inclined towards Nikon or Canon because of availability, servicing and component availability is better with these 2 in India. I have seen Canon EOS550d (Rs 50K) and I like the features. Further, Nikon D90 (Rs. 59K) has a rock solid reputation. I dont know where to start. I would also like to know, what starter lens apart from the kit lens (18-55mm) should I buy.
well i'm sure glad everyone listened to you when you said you wanted Nikon or Canon.
to be honest, the canon is the way to go. Firstly because the Nikon has more features. As you said before you were only used to shooting with point and shoots and are probably not used to applying and setting exposure and aperture. Why would you want a camera with tons of features when you still need the basics (no offense intended, we all start out). Also in regards to someones post about "wireless flash" unless you wish to spend the money for a flash system then that's another feature wasted.
I've been shooting with Canon for years and love them. They are easy to use and are user friendly. They are appealing (visually) and are just as reliable as a Nikon.
as for a lens to purchase try the 75-300mm, offers a great deal of zoom.
or the 50mm 1.8 it's a beautiful lens, it has a low aperature which allows for a solid focus point and a "blurry" background. Would be perfect to display your wife's creations.
