Hi guys. I currently have a Vivitar 4000 camera and I'm looking to start having a hobby of photography. What would be the best camera overall for scenery images? (Landscapes, Sunsets, etc.)
I assume your camera is the V-4000, I couldn't find the 4000 anywhere. If it is, that camera will do unless it no longer works. And this would also depend on whether you want to stick with film or go to digital. DSLR's are expensive and so are most of the accessories including lenses. Vivitar does not make a DSLR so you would to not only have to invest in a camera but lenses as well. This can be VERY expesive, if that is not an issue, I would recommend the Canon digial rebel XTi with the sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 lens. The camera is a semi-pro DSLR with fully automatic modes as well as fully manual modes and features a 10.1 MP chip. The lens is a fast standard zoom that covers 18mm ultra wide angle and 50mm short telephoto, which is ideal for landscapes. That package will cost you about a $1000. If you want to stick with the format and camera you already have, your camera is an SLR, simply buy a new lens for it, try for one that is fast and if you are primarily shooting landscapes, try for the same focal length zoom lens I recommended earlier. For convenience, digital is the way to go, and though swithching over is an investment, it will make your life a whole lot easier.
