Good camera for a beginning digital photographer, Not just a "snap and click, picture taker".? |
I am looking to start becoming more serious about digital photography and would like to make a step up from my $150.00 Olympus point and shoot camera, but I'm not quite ready yet to invest in a Cannon Rebel. Any suggestions on a camera? Or what to look for in a camera? Truly, there is no reason at this point to upgrade to another camera unless you are looking for specific features in a point&shoot, or want to move into D-SLR. To become more serious in photography (whether it be in film or digital), you need to be focused on taking pictures. This means going out on photowalks and shooting a number of different subjects in a variety of different ways, and then downloading them to see what worked and what didnt, what you could have changed at the time of the shoot and what you had to live with & modify in post-production. Take a look at the features offered on your Olympus. Pull out the manual & really put it through its paces. Make sure you understand the different features, what they mean, & what happens when you shoot the same subject in various different modes on your camera. Become more comfortable with taking the weird & unusual shots, sometimes they turn out to be your best! Once you have become more familiar with your current equipment, you can either upgrade to a high-end point&shoot, many of which offer manual settings similar to the SLR versions, or you may have enough $$ saved for the Canon Rebel (an excellent line for D-SLR, as they are affordable, yet still offer almost everything the higher-end models do, and your lenses will be compatible when you are ready to move up). If possible, ask friends & family with different cameras if you can use theirs & see how they perform differently in the same shots as you take on your camera. Also, see what they can do that your camera cannot, to help you make the best decision when getting your next toy. If you still feel you must upgrade to another point&shoot, I suggest the Canon line, I have been very happy with them. Look for a camera that has automatic as well as manual settings (manual settings allow you to control the shutter speed & aperture). Functions & features are more important at this point in your growth than pixel size, unless you are also a graphic artist who needs a lot of data to play with in post-production. Best of luck to you! Source(s): Professional Photographer I have a Sony Cybershot that I love. It was about $300. It has lots of features and the new model has about 8 (or more) megapixels. You should check it out. It's easy to use and takes great pictures, plus has lots of options for black and white, sepia, shutter speed, etc. "not just a snap and click picture taker" ?????? some of the most expensive and finest professional cameras fall into this category including my cheap(hahaha) piece of nikon all manual-which in that allows the user to become more of an artist.

Hurry before they run out! http://urlx.org/directtrack.com/daae7... your next step is the Canon Rebel xt (around 599) prosumer dslr. (the 10d a professional is around the same price. It is an older model, so it has lower resolution, but a PC sync terminal for strobes) canon rebel really isn't that much of an investment... most go for less than 1000, even the xTi (around 799) The investment camera are the 20d and the 30d pro dslr, they go for around 3500. www.cordcamera.com |
