DSLR camera for beginner? - 1

Hey so I have been thinking about getting a DSLR camera and I only know a little bit about cameras and have never owned a DSLR. The camera I was thinking about buying was a Nikon D3200 but I was thinking about getting a camera that is maybe a little older like the canon t3i. What do you think? Any other camera suggestions woukd be greatly appreciated.

Why not discuss it with a dealer?

Get a T3i, or a D3200. D3100 is not worth it, nor is T4i or T5i.

If you want a camera with a bang for your buck, I really suggest you go for the Sony a58 or the a57.It's not like a regular DSLR… It uses translucent mirror technology. The battery life is fantastic, it's very affordable ( cheaper than the t4i) better performance than the t4i. T4i is fast (5 frames per second) the a58 can go 8 frames per second and the a57 can go 12 frames per second… Usually reserved for high end cameras. And the video mode is amazing. Manual control and auto for beginners and it has very fast smooth continous auto focus… The canon autofocus in live view is very slow… Comparing it with translucent mirror technology, there's no competition. The Sony is the clear winner I tried the new LockOn autofocus on the a58, it puts canon and Nikon to SHAME! Some links below

Best of luck choosing the right camera.

And after getting your SLT, I suggest you go to Sony Asia Pacific YouTube channel and look at their tutorials about photography from technical and creativity topics to help advance your photography.
