Answer 2

I have been into professional photography for many years, and my decision was made taking into consideration any compatible equipment I already had on hand from my film days. I LOVE the Nikin D100 and D200...the latter is VERY similar to the D2X at about a third the price, it has 10 meg relolution (I've talked to other wedding photographers who traded in their `12 meg cameras because the end results were way to big. You don't want to spend a lot of time cropping and resizing afterwards. As far as lenses, it depends on whether your also doing candid shots. I use a Sigma Gold Series 50-500mm for most of my stuff because the range and quality is awesome and the price is right.

I like the Canon Eos.. But I got the Canon S3IS.. with the Eos, you should ask someone who is already a wedding photographer, which lens they prefer.. I think a zoom is the best, from wide angle to at least some telephoto..
But remember this, if you're doing weddings, you must learn to use a tripod, or at least a Monopod.. and get the largest memory card you can get, so you can burn 5 times too many shots and then choose just the best to show your clients.. I love my Canon S3IS, but you should probably get an EOS, because you have such a greater lens selection to choose from..

For camera comparisons go to http://www.dpreview.com and click:
buyingguide/sidebyside. You will be able to pick cameras to compare the specs on and have them align side by side. You will also see approximate street prices which will help you decide what your budget allows.
I would suggest you buy a fairly high megapixel camera (8-10 or more) and a good lens, not a cheap lens. Put money into the lens for best quality.

Answer 5

I continually purchase Canon and noticeably advise it for digital cameras. that's the main suitable type accessible. that's variety of pricer than Sony, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it lasts an prolonged time and takes great pictures. once you're finding for something around the 5 - 6 megapixel selection then, i'd advise PowerShot SD700 IS. The IS stands for photograph Stabilization, so once you're slightly shaky, it will nonetheless shop your shot sparkling, rather of blurry. i'd rather make investments in this digicam, even nonetheless that's a sprint expensive ($4 hundred-500). in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, that's totally effective, it will final you an prolonged time, and correctly-properly rather worth the money. If that's too intense priced for you, i'd nonetheless carry on with Canon, yet look for a distinctive type that suits your desires.

If you're just learning, and you don't want to spend too much, there are several options but before I recommend a camera, let me suggest that you consider that when you buy a camera for hobby purposes, you get the best for your money and you also get a camera that will enable you to find lenses for it in the future. With that said, let me also say that Nikon has not changed its lens mount since 1959 and will not change it any time soon, you have many good, sturdy lenses to choose from with great glass formula (not all glass is made the same); Nikkor lenses (that's what Nikon lenses are called) are known for robust, sturdy build and long-lasting and quality (which means that they also retain a higher resale price).

Right now there's a very good model to start with if you're considering digital technology: Nikon D50 with the kit lens. If you're interested in getting a used one at a moderate price, check www.keh.com and look for the Nikon D70S; which is the camera that the D80 (their newest camera) replaced. The D50 is considered an entry level camera but don't let that fool you; it's a very nice, sturdy and reliable camera, well built and ergonomically made. So, depending on what you can spend, you have a few choices.

If you REALLY want a new digital camera, with the latest bells and whistles, check out the Nikon D80... it's a beaut! It works pretty much like the much more expensive pro-level cameras! If a pro-level camera is what you're thinking about, hands down, go for the Nikon D200; you won't be disappointed, and the price is among the most preferred features of pro-level cameras!

If you're planning on getting a film camera, my choices are: to learn about photography: Nikon N80 (I own two of these beauties and have used them to shoot weddings, graduations and portraits plus special events and sporting events); this camera can be used manually (as required for many photo courses), semi-automatically in aperture priority (you select the aperture desired and the camera sets the correct, corresponding shutter speed for you) or in shutter speed priority (you select the shutter speed and the camera selects the correct, corresponding aperture); you can use also use it totally automatic where you can focus manually or let the camera focus for you and set the aperture and shutter speed, while it advances the film for you, and rewinds the entire roll as you take the last image on the roll, and it also sets the correct film ISO for you. It is the poor man's pro-camera. You will not outgrow this beauty any time soon.

If, however, you know you're going to shoot serious images in rugged environments: Nikon F100 or the "Rolls-Royce of cameras," the Nikon F5 (I own two of these wonderful monsters, too). These are known to have seals against humidity and dusty and are built like tanks! They're now more affordable since everyone is jumping on the digital bandwagon; digital ain't as accurate nor as inexpensive as film, not yet... but it is nice to be able to see one's images seconds after pressing the shutter button! Aside from the instant gratification, I prefer film's depth and longer lasting effect of images and negatives to digital questionable archival issues.

I will suggest three lenses: the Nikkor AF f/1.8D lens for low light situations (a good used one can cost about $70), the Nikkor AF 28-105mm f/3.5-5.6D which is the most versatile lens ever made by Nikon (use it as a wide angle lens, a regular lens, a very short telephoto lens, a portrait lens, a moderate telephoto lens and as a macro lens) and the Nikkor AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6D lens. If you wish to save about $40-50, get the Nikkor 35-105mm f/3.5-5.6D(macro) lens; it is the older version but just as good and solid and as sharp as the newer one. If you choose to go with the 35-105mm lens, make certain it says "macro" because one can and one cannot be used as a macro lens (they had two versions, evidently).

Again, check with www.keh.com and see what they have available... you'll really appreciate the savings and the great quality equipment! They're known for the competitive prices and are very reliable, too. Just be ready to buy once you see what you want because their products do not stay Long on the shelves. Good luck and best wishes.
