Photography help: Which digital (reflex)camera would you recommend? - Help.com

Which digital (reflex)camera would you recommend?

Dear everyone,

I’m kinda into photography, and I feel time has come to kind of ‘invest’ in a more expensive digital camera. What are the pro and cons of reflex cameras? Has anybody got any experience with them? My new camera should be able to take portratis, landscapes, movement, close ups from animals and flowers,… Not that I want a long-focus lens, but I want to be able to take stunning pictures everywhere!

Budget: around 400 euros/+- 500 USD…

I think Nokia’s are really good, but they may be expensive.

Do you want like a nice looking one? Like slim ect?
Or do you not mind what it looks like and are concentrating on performance?

uhm, mainly on performance, but i also want to be able to take it on holidays so it would be great if it’s not too heavy - it’s definitely got to have a handy grip

Well, I studied photography for 5 years, and taught it for 2 :) Nikon is a very good brand. I recommend manual cameras, but the top of the line now is SONY ALFA (manual/digital) very very sweet camera. Bit expensive, but well worth the money! If you want a digial camera go for the T700 sony, nice and slim and different colors depending on which u like :) Canon also another very good brand for cameras :) hope that helps some where along the line

Ha, it’s cool when I’m right. (Even if I mispelled the brand…) In my one photography class, we used these really old, heavy as heck cameras, black and white, manual. They were cool.

lol! another sugar addict :D

and about that exhibition, first one is here in the garage, but I’ll soon be asked to do another exhibition somewhere in town, and then I’ll gradually become so famous for my bumpictures that I’ll soon be organizing exhibitions all over the world! :) So don’t worry - as soon as you see a big announcement in the papers ‘bumpictures hit x’ (x=enter your town here) I’ll be there, waiting. I’ll be the one with the stunning dress, doin situps while veryone enjoys the pictures ;)
