Best photography camera for beginners?
I'm looking for something under $500
Here are the things I plan to take pictures of:
Nature
Scenery
Concerts
People
Animals
The sky
Just very basic things but I want it to be very high quality. I want to be able to play around and make things artsy like blur the background and stuff. I just want really high quality pictures. It would be cool to be able to see starts in the pictures as well like the night sky with the moon.
I plan to use it for a hobby, nothing professional or anything. Thanks!
Added (1). * I've taken a photography class so I'm a little educated on how to make cameras work and take good photos, I'm just trying to make sure I get the best camera for my price range. Something like a Nikon/Canon/Sony. Just an upgrade from a standard digital camera
It might not be your idea of 'fun' to pop into a library and read through a photography guide book, BUT it sure would help you. Cameras are tools they don't care what you want, if you want top quality interesting images then you should be wanting to learn how to go about making them it isn't the camera its the person that's using it that does all the work.
There are a few different types of cameras these days and its much harder to recommend a brand or model, you really should be trying to work out what's best within your own budget for yourself, try reading some good digital camera buying guides, there are plenty on the internet and they all offer excellent advice.
