Hi Folks

I am wanting to go down the Digital SLR route and hoping some of you be able to point me to a camera that is good for a starting point. But then again I dont want to have to change the camera for a while too so a decent cam is needed really to keep my going. Is it worth getting a camera with Image Stablizer like the sony ones?

My father in-law got a canon 350D that I been having a play with while we were in spain and though it a quite a good cam but found a TRIPOD is in need for some shots.

Help would be great

Cheers
 
Hi,

Thankyou for your prompt reply.

My budget hmmm Dont want to spend a lot but £500 would be ok. Is the Nikon bigger than the canon to hold? I believe the image stablizer in lens cost more than having it within the body ie the Sony range? Or am i seeing this wrong? How much for a len for the canon cam or the nikon cam to have the stablizer built in?

I would be taking alsort of shots. Holidays, Landscape such as sunset and sunrise. I live in the Peak District and could get some decent pictures out here. I would also take some motor sport shoots too.

Hope this helps

Cheers
 
Thankyou for your replies guys

Ok I am now going to ask about lense if I got a canon or Nikon do they both have compatable lense or are they different? As I would like to to have a cam and lense but prob would upgrade the cam as soon as I learn a lot more and would rather have a system that I can keep the lense to go with a new body know what i mean.

I have looked today on the net at the Canon 350d and the Nikon 50D both look very good. I have played with a Canon 350d as that what my father in law got and quite like it. But wonder if I can beat him by having a better cam but keeping my budget low.

Thankyou

Now it down to decide which camera i should get with a len that comes with it and then save for a Good len at a later date. Can you list a few that I should look into and go into a store to have a feel.

I seen on a auction site that some go at good prices but I dont fancy going down 2nd hand route just incase the len mirror in the body is really dusty as I believe this is a pain to sort out? So really i think going down the brand new route is the way to go.

Any advise
