Canon? Nikon? Pentax? Something?
So, for my graduation present (which I have a $700 limit on), I want to get a nice camera, as I've always been into photography, and as I've been learning more and more about the technicalities of it, the more eager I'm to have my own that is of good quality.
Unfortunately, I have no idea what would be a good idea to look into. I'm not looking for a universally "oh this one is the best" kind of answer, but more… Recommendations? I just want an idea of a few cameras to look at, rather than every single one within that price range out there. Am I making sense?
I'm just sick of my sister insisting "ugh Nikons are horrible, get a Canon," when I know there are other alternatives, too.
What would be a good brand to look into, you think? And if you have any ideas for a specific camera (as I'm a beginner), that'd be much appreciated, too!
Have a Meade Solaris telescope, want to attach a Nikon dslr camera. Does anyone know?
Meade Solaris telescope was a gift 2005, want to attach a Nikon dslr 3200, does anyone know what is needed?
Should image quality numbers dissuade me from buying a camera?
All of the numbers given to a camera can make choosing one to fork over big money very confusing and daunting
example: several sites give the vaunted Canon 70D only a 68 in terms of image quality, lagging behind the Nikon D7100's 83.
even some mirrorless models scored better
so, is the image quality of that camera lacking?
how do you evaluate which one to buy with so much differing info?
Is the nikon D5300 weather sealed?
If so how weather sealed is it. If it is not weather sealed how much water can it take without breaking.
Added (1). Also it may seem a stupid question but is the 18 - 140 mm lens FX or DX.
Are Nikon lenses better than Canon lenses?
While browsing through the various DSLR's at Best Buy one of the workers there told me, and i quote, "Nikon makes better lenses, Canon's cost less but you'll replace them more often."
any truth to that?
Lens badly packed - should I seek to return?
I bought a Nikon 35mm f1.8g lens from a reputable camera store. The lens was new - so it came in its original box. However, there was nothing else to protect it. The seller just placed it in the small parcel - no protection like bubblewrap or plastic popcorn whatsoever. Could this have caused damage to the lens. I have tried it and it seems to work okay, but I can't tell if something hasn't been shaken up inside?
Added (1). I should say the box has been damages slightly - there's a hole in it.
Nikon or Cannon is better?
Good Nikon Camera For Action Shots?
I love taking pictures and I'm also a horseback rider and would like to take pictures at my shows. I would like to upgrade from my Kodak EasyShare to a Nikon. My friend has one and it takes beautiful pictures. But I would like one that takes really good action shots that come out crystal clear. Should I just get a normal Nikon and buy a separate lense for it?
Also, I want a camera that can zoom really far and take clear shots. Does Nikon have a camera with both of these features?
