camera shopping
dear fellows, I want to buy a camera, but every time i check different cameras and brands online and in stores i get confuse,,,,,,,,,what to buy, i am a begginer. i m looking for a camera that is both perfect for still crisp photos and HD video recording. there are digital cybershot cameras, HD hady cams, DSLRs,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,one is good for photos and the other for video,,,so what should i do, i don't want to through my money for lesser value. there is a family wedding due in a month and i want to buy a perfect camera to capture the event both in recording and photos. I want something with higher mega pixels( above 5), atleast 25 optical zoom. anything u guys can suggest bcz I want to spend but wisely for the one that will last for a long time.
Try fujifilm finepix hs30exr.I found it is one of the BEST Camera with GREAT features.And it is cheaper than Canon,Nikon,Sony DSLR's.It costs around 1999QAR ONLY
i hadnt used a DSLR before i bought the 600D but its so simple to use i paid 4100 as its advised to buy a UV haze filter for the camara
According to the opinions and replies I guess canon is taking the lead.......hmmmm, well don't have the budget for 5000QR :$ I think I will buy 600D, and thanks to all of you.
If you have a budget to 5000+qr go for Canon 60D its a good camera... anything less than that go for 600D or 550D.
I still use my 5 year old Canon 50D.. never lets me down ;)
Yes, I agree with Kimbo.. Go to Salam near CCD. They have good people to guide you and make a decision.
I think it is better that you go in for a superzoom point and shoot. In this category, you can't go wrong with a Canon or Nikon.
Evaluate your needs and budget. Don't go in for a megazoom just coz its nice.. you need a tripod to get a good image quality at full zoom.
If you're a beginner, and will be using it to photograph only (i.e. not photoshop it), it makes sense not to buy a DSLR. Remember, no camera is good or bad.. its just ow you use it, and what you use it for!
Happy shopping :)
