I want to purchase a new camera, and I've been looking at a dslr camera. I am interested in photography and I want a quality camera. This will be my first DSLR Camera and my price range is between 500-800 dollars. I'm a quick learner and I really want to buy a camera that takes amazing pictures. What should I look for when buying one? How important are megapixels? My top choices are Nikon D3000 or the Canon Rebel xsi. Please help!
Also, is live view completely necessary?
Hey,
You can get a good DSLR for 500-800$.
Models I recommend are:
- Canon EOS XS
- Canon EOS XSi
- Nikon D3000
- Nikon D5000
I will remove D3000, cause it doesn't have Live View. I use it when I need to check my white balance or when I photograph something still.
If you want video recording, then buy Nikon D5000 or Canon EOS T1i. I prefer the D5000.
Many megapixels are not that important, because all of these cameras have 10MP or more. More megapixels doesn't mean your photos will be sharper, better looking. They just tell you how big you can print your images while quality is still good.
I wrote an article on my blog about 'Which DSLR to buy, what's important, what's not ,megapixels, features and which models I recommend. You can read it here - [URL Truncated]
