Digital Camera
What digital camera do you recommend?
I want to buy a digital camera in the next few months and am aware some of the ‘better’ digital cameras are very pricey. I looked at previous questions to see which cameras are recommended but this doesn’t help me make a decision, I also looked at reviews online.
Could anyone answer the question stating the digital camera they use, and an example of photography they have taken using the camera without any editing and why they personally think it is a good camera (e.g. easy to use, photo quality, functions of the camera).
Thanks!
My budget is £500. I am open to all suggestions as this will help me make a better decision.
This is a question only you can answer, if your keen on photography and want to get the maximum control then it has to be a DSLR. There are just too many restrictions with a compact, small sensor and shutter delay are just two. The only advantages they do have is size and portability.
When you buy a DSLR you are buying into a system, the camera is just the down payment.
The resolution of the camera just determines the size of picture you can print without adding (or removing pixels – ‘interpolation), nothing else. As a guide a 6Mp camera will print ‘natively’ at a tad over A4, a 10Mp at A3+, but that does mean you can crop half the pixels away and still have enough for a good A4. I have 2 Pentax DSLR’s a *istDS (6Mp) and a K10D (10Mp) this means I can use the same lens to do comparative tests. When printed at A4 size I can see no difference, even with a magnifying glass, at A3 you don’t need the magnifying glass the difference is easy to see, the 10Mp K10D wins hands down.
The make of DSLR does not matter one jot, the lens quality does, so go for the most functions for the money. Pentax score heavily here, having Anti Shake in camera means ALL you lenses are Anti Shake, there’s not a price premium to pay as with other makes. Plus there are a massive range of quality old lenses all of which can be used on their DSLR’s (with some limitations).
