What camera shall I buy? - 1

I'm an 18 year old student and an amateur photographer. I would really like to improve my skills and with the advancement in technology I don't know which camera to choose from. Nikon, Canon, Samsung…
To give you an idea, there are some of my best pictures taken with my current camera:

But with all three, I had to use Photoshop to enhance saturation, light and contrast.

Well go for any dlsr or slr from canon… Since you r a amateur photographer…

Get Canon T3i 600D, it's the best SLR camera for beginners. And it's not that costly too.

I would get a canon, its simple, easy to use, settings aren't hard and confusing to adjust like other camera models and brands and the pictures turn out pretty good also…
Hope I helped.

If you are looking for a new camera especial say a DSLR that begins at about $550.00. You need to check out the lenses that are available for it on the manufactures web site. You need to go were they have the model or models that you have narrowed it down to. Handle them, look through them, located controls. The most comfortable IS the camera for you!

Canon or Nikon are considered the best but it does depend on your budget.
The Olympus VR 340 may be suitable for your needs and may be worth looking at in terms of value for money.
Hope this helps

For pros and advanced enthusiasts, it comes down to Canon or Nikon. It's worth taking time over your decision as, once you commit to a manufacturer, you'll probably build up a substantial kit based on their standards, and it's expensive to switch later.

I would base your choice of manufacturer on handling. Personally, I prefer the ergonomics of Canon equipment and many of their design features are now copied by other manufacturers. However, you need to find out which suits you. Look up the best-specified models you can afford, then go to a well-stocked camera shop and try operating all of the controls on your shortlisted cameras to discover which works most intuitively and positively in your hands. If you can't find the exact model that interests you in a store, a closely related model will suffice. You can then order the one you want online, or have one ordered in.

As for editing, All of the photos I actually display or submit to clients go through some post-production. It isn't something you should do to save a poor original (if that's the case you should reshoot or reject it); it's an integral part of the process. There are some common misapprehensions about image processing, and the ethics thereof. These stem from a widespread failure to understand the subject in either technical or conceptual terms. A good camera will give you the best possible raw material, not the final authentic image.
