Dslr?

[Norman Chan]

im starting to develop an interest in photography in general (People, Nature, Landscape). googling for camera for beginners gave me the nikon D3300

i went around to several shops, but apparently they don't carry the nikon D3300 anymore. my budget is about 1k.

which camera would you guys recommend for beginners?

Try to get one with Vari-angle LCD type , it will be very useful. You can always use credit card instalment to purchase. Always buy a good filter for your camera lens.

If you do not mind the older model , you can look at : -

Canon - EOS 700D or EOS 750D or EOS 760D

Nikon - D5300 or D5500 or D5600

If you can just buy the body of the DSLR than try to pair with an entry level zoom lens either 18mm-200mm (either Tamron or Sigma) or the 18mm-270mm(only Tamron) or 18mm-300mm(only Sigma) or 16mm-300mm (only Tamron).

And later can add these Wide Angle lens into your collection.

Sigma 10-20mm

Hi guys, would it be worth to get a 5D mk iv? i would really much prefer a 6d mk2 but it may be some time before it is released. i was using a 6d before and have since sold it and shot only with my iphone out of convenience but i realized thats just being an absolute lazy ass.

are there other full frame alternatives that are current? thanks!

Personal point of view, i have no regrets using 5D MK IV.

I bought my 80D with 18-135 kit lens few months back as well. Don't worry it's a good buy you can consider prime lenses like the 24mm F2.8 for general all purpose and a 50mm F1.8 for portraits and street photography for a start.

 

[Ah_keong]

For 80D, I would recommend this two lens.

If all along you get use to using zoom lens and after you switch to a fixed focus lens...you becomes the human "zoom" as you need to walk nearer or further to snap the photo...ha...ha...

Look like is a 18-35mm and 24-105mm lens.

thought your kit should have USB cable?

 

[Norman Chan]

Maybe he need a longer length.

 

[hellhole]

how much comparable...

don really understand your question.

thoughts on range? may I ask what is your definition of range?

 

[EJB]

Dont have it =(

Shouldn't be. Where did you purchase it from, check with the shop.

Anyway if you only want to copy out photos, best is get a card reader.

 

[Norman Chan]

Wow...the new Canon 800D same price as the 760D.

Like that customers sure buy the 800D instead of the 760D.
