Good Camera for Photography Student?
I'm looking for a new camera, but I'm having difficulty choosing between Canon and Nikon. I've done a fair bit of research on both but I can't make up my mind, so I need some input.
I'm going into university to study photography. Right now I attend an arts high school and have been doing photography for quite some time so I'm ahead of most people my age. I've been using a Sony A33 for the last 3 years but the image quality has gotten very noisy and blurry (maybe I haven't maintained it right? If anyone sees a solution to this then please let me know), so I've figured I should upgrade. I'd like my new camera to last me throughout university or longer.
Honestly I would go to a good camera store and just ask them about it. Discribe to them what you will be using it for and what courses you are taking.I'm a high school student and I got a used cannon eos rebel dslr camera at a used camera store and it works great.
If you need more input… Then you haven't done enough research.
You are the one that is going to be using the camera… You know what you like to shoot…(I don't know the first thing about you or your interests).
If you don't know what specifications in a camera will help you get the best images for what you like to 'shoot' then i'm sorry… You are going to struggle at 'Uni'…
It isn't difficult to read reviews about Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony or Samsung cameras and work out which facilities are more important to you… There's also this website called 'You Tube'… Just in case you haven't heard of it… And you can actually watch comparisons and reviews of cameras on it?
Go to a store and feel the cameras, which every feels best in your hand should be the one you go for. I'm a high school photography student and I'm slowly starting my own business. I started out with a Caon Eos Rebel Xsi… I got some great pictures with it, now I have a Canon 7D with a $1,000 lens. And sometimes I manage to take better pics with the Xsi… The talent of the photographer is what chooses the image quality. Yes, a good camera helps, and having the right gear is great. But making do with what you have is the best practice. So, go in and feel cameras, don't worry too much about the camera's MP or Highest ISO, cuz in the end you have to adapt to the scene and light. Hope this helps!
