I'm an young photographer i want to change my camera, from a compact one to a SLR.?

Question

I feel like i am restricted in photography. I want a very good and CHEAP SLR. I want some Canon or Nikon.
Which camera should i buy?

Answer 1

First check out the following link, it compares Canon cameras to Nikon cameras:

My first manual camera was a Canon AE-1. As they are quite old (though still work as good as you want) they are very low priced (around $75 - $250 on eBay :: http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=Canon+AE-1 ). They also offer a wide variety of lenses from macro to fisheye to zoom/telephoto, so they'll work in any environment.

However, there is no greater difference between the two of them. You won't be a better photographer because you have a Canon rather than a Nikon. It's really a matter of personal choice.

Answer 2

first of all, i'll give an advice, try to make a small research on SLR cameras and how they work just to know the speciality of them... second your choice between Canon and \nikon is a very good choice
third what is the type of photography u r dealing with ( negative or digital )
this open the choices in ur face... but if u r a beginner try the the canon EOS300 in digital and the D300 digital these are good ...
good luck ,,,, and try not to take snapshuts u should shot something that have meeaning somethinng that talks something that is different ... good luck

Answer 3

Both canon and Nikon are about equal in the beginner SLRs. dpreview.com is one of the better places to visit for reviews. There are also good forums for both Canon and Nikon users.

Answer 4

Go for the Nikon - it has better resale when you want to upgrade later on

Answer 5

you should get a canon rebel
