What camera are you using?

Advancedspecv · 06-24-2012, 10:04 PM

I'm in the market for a decent digital camera and wanted to see what everyone is using. I'm not trying to spend a whole bunch of money. I would really just like a camera that takes some fairly decent pictures. I'm just really getting into photography and really just need a good digital camera for beginners for less than $500. If you could post the camera you recommend and a pic I'd greatly appreciate it.

For that amount, You can pick up a Canon XSi or T3. Great starter DLSR, start up with 18-55mm kit lens and pick up the cheap nifty fifty (50mm 1.8/). You prob can't get a better set up for the cost.

You can get a Rebel XT and a cheap decent lens (18-55IS or 50mm prime) for probably less than $200 total.

Less than 500? You can go with a Canon 30D,battery grip, and a kit lens. Often times I'll see the same things i mentioned with a 50mm for about 450- 500 on ebay/Craigslist.

I sold my 30D, gripped, with a kit lens for 450 a few months back. I shoot with an olympus EP-1 right now and have a XSI, as well.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll do some research and find which one of your suggestions works best for me
