I want to invest in a good camera… but i dont know which one to buy and what are the things to look for in a camera when you are buying one.
I am willing to spend around $400 - $600 …
right now i am also not sure what kind of photography i am in but most probably i would like to do portraits and nature photography… maybe some still photography too …
DSLR stands for Digital Single Lens Reflex camera and gives you a lot more flexibility in shot composition in terms of lighting, depth of field etc. Point & shoot is the more commonly used cameras where you just point & shoot !!
I am guessing that you are probably in the market for a point & shoot. You should easily be able to get a good one for under $ 300 in the US.
Canon Powershot & Nikon Coolpix are both good cameras. They have multiple models for each.
