Buying a Camera [help]

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 …

Re: Buying a Camera [help]

Canon is the way to go.

Re: Buying a Camera [help]

Canon or Nikon are both good. Are you looking to buy a DSLR or a point & shoot ?

Re: Buying a Camera [help]

wat is a DSLR and what is point & shoot one ??

Re: Buying a Camera [help]

can you be a bit specific ..... what kinda Nikon and Canon cameras are good for
beginners ......

Re: Buying a Camera [help]

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.

Re: Buying a Camera [help]

Re: Buying a Camera [help]

^ In that case, check out Canon Powershot & Nikon Coolpix.

Re: Buying a Camera [help]

Re: Buying a Camera [help]

just check the customer reviews and base your decision on that

Re: Buying a Camera [help]

blind hope so you do not want a professional camera? you just want a commercial camera like those small palm sized ones that are available?

Re: Buying a Camera [help]

The Canon EOS Rebel/Digital Rebel are good and should be in your price range.
