I need to find a camera but not sure what type to get?

I'm still an armature but that doesn't mean I don't know how to handle a camera and i know that camera are good but its the lends that really matters but I'm not to sure about that I just need a camera that can take good close of ups and far shots so do i need a camera thats good at close ups and a lends thats good at far shots or the other way around and I don't care if its a cannon, nikon, or sony… Thanks for the help. As for spending price it would be 150-400 and i know that for a really good one it would be like at least 1, 500 or higher, but I'm not looking to be a pro so um ya.

You're really limiting your options if you're not prepared to spend more than $500.olympus are bringing out some great things.sony own over 60% of the digital market. Have a look at camera house or harvey norman

Go with Canon EOS 1100D w/Canon 18-55mm IS II Lens. Its comes under your budget and best dslr cameras for both indoor and outdoor photography!

I'm feeling cynical today - just got back from the psychiatrist.

Hep! Don't write me off yet. I have every intention to answer your question. It's just that I'm stressing the point that you have to stay in school and learn some more because if you can't communicate properly, you'll get this same kind of treatment more often.

There are highly skillful pros and dumb pros the same way there are excellent amateurs and fresh from the farm newbies. Pros get paid to take pictures. Amateurs don't. That's the only difference. Both of them use the same camera. There's no difference.

For starters, brand new dSLR's start at around $500. All dSLR's are basically the same and I'm telling you now, whatever camera you use, you get the same picture. That means, you don't need a $1, 500 dSLR to get really good pictures. An expensive camera only makes it easier.

The lens supplied with the camera is good enough for almost all shooting scenarios you will encounter. It is the only lens I use professionally. It can do close-ups quite easily and can blur the background sufficiently if I want to. If something is beyond my reach, I simply walk nearer to it. If it's too far, it won't look good anyway in the picture. That is unless it's landscape. For that I use the 18mm end of the kit lens.

Here's the sad truth about cameras and photography in general. Picture quality depends mostly on user skill. The camera and lenses are only tools.

So what camera would be best for someone who's just starting and doesn't have the time and patience to study photography? If you remember to use the camera only under great lighting conditions and use the flash if lighting is not good then this one's for you.

If you indeed are dead serious in learning the craft, set a budget (higher than what you have right now) and get any dSLR, the more expensive the better.
