SLR Camera advice needed please?
I'm wanting an SLR camera between the prices of no more than £400
I obviously want it to take a good photo and i like the camera where you can take photos constantly? If that makes sense?
so every second i can take like 5?
Hope that makes sense
there are too many to choose from?
haha
Hope you can help! Any recommendations i don't mind!
Preffered if they were cannon or nikon
if you have a camera which has all those quilitys, please don't hesitate to write it down!
Added (1). And what's the difference between slr and dslr?
Do you want an SLR or a DSLR? Big difference between the two!
SLR uses film, is much older and rarely used among beginners.
D stands for Digital.
You can get Canon EOS XS, T3, Nikon D3100 and Pentax K-r.
Here's a DSLR Buying Guide - http://www.the-dslr-photographer.com/2009/11/which-dslr-to-buy/
All have the same image quality, and 5 images in a second is a bit too fast for your range. It's Canon, not Cannon.
SLR means film, DSLR is digital, which do you want.
I've got to assume from what you wrote it's digital. First there are no consumer level dslr cameras that do a burst of 5 frames per second - most are around 3.
I own two from Canon, the 1000D and the 500D and both are excellent. Both do 3 frames per second.
The 500D also does HD video.
1. SLR (Single Lens Reflex) - DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex)
so the SLR shoots film, which you need to develop individually which will run you at around £10 for the cost of the film and getting it developed into prints. This is not good for beginners since you need to experiment if you are a beginner and you will not want to spend a tenner for only 36 shots.
a DSLR means you have unlimited amount of shots, so although a new DSLR will cost more then a second hand SLR, you will make up for that extra cost from not having to develop/buy film.
2. The "every second i can take like 5" thing is called "continuous burst", most DSLRs have this, generally, better cameras have more FPS (frames per second) meaning you can take like 10 shots in a second on an ace camera, and 6 on a cheaper one (which is plenty all the same).
3. Nikon D3100 is a good starter DSLR which has all the features you will want/need.
If you get one insure you learn all about "the exposure triangle" - so you can shoot on Manual mode not just on Auto.
If I was you I would also buy a "for dummies" book for that particular camera, so "Nikon D3100 for dummies" this should teach you everything you need to know to shoot manual and take good photos.
The entire line of Canon 30, 40 50 60D series, which are most assuredly consumer grade, shoot at 5 FPS.
For your 600 pounds, I'm sure you can find an older 30 or 40D to meet your needs.
