I've been into photography for about 2 years and I've used a Canon EOS Rebel K2. I want to step up to a nice digital camera that's HD and gives good depth to the photos. Have any suggestions?

Something easy to use too. :)



Answer
5 DSLRs Under $500
Written by Eric on November 13th, 2007 | 4 Comments


Just in time for the holidays, hereâs 5 great DSLRs (with kit lenses) under $500:

1. Canon Rebel XT - The Rebel XT was my first digtal SLR camera. I bought it shortly after it became available in 2005 for $1000 (a Rebel XT is $499 with a lens as of Nov. â07). I still use it on almost a daily basis. Iâve shot somewhere around 25,000 â 30,000 shots now. No hiccups yet. Anyway, I can personally vouch for the reliability and image quality that this camera packs. (Read more about the Rebel XT here.)

2. Nikon D40 - Iâve been using a Nikon D40 for a few months. Iâm primarily a Canon user; however, I wanted one of these cameras to play around with and to see what Nikon had to offer. I am very pleased with the capabilities of my D40. The D40 is significantly lighter than any DSLR that Iâve ever used, even the Canon Rebel series. Itâs now $477. (Read more about the Nikon D40 here.)

3. Pentax K100D - The K100D is compatible with any Pentax lens ever produced. The in-body Shake Reduction (.pdf fact sheet) means that you get image stabilization with every K-Mount lens out there. This is the only DSLR under $500 that does this. The K100D also features a 2.5â³ LCD, an 11 point AF system with 9 cross-type sensors, ISO 200-3200 and 16-segment multi-pattern metering. All this at $449 is a heck of a deal. (Read some reviews of the K100D here.)

4. Samsung GX-1S - The Samsung GX-1S is a 6.3-megapixel digital SLR featuring world renowned Schneider optics and a high-resolution 2.5-inch LCD. The interchangeable-lens DSLR was developed jointly with partner Pentax Corporation, meaning that it accepts K-AF Mount lenses. The $441 GX-1S is essentially a rebadged Pentax *ist DS2, which is just fine for this price.

5. Olympus E330 - The E330 was the first Live View DSLR, meaning that the LCD screen serves as a viewfinder. You wonât find this feature on any other DSLR under $500 (the E330 is $450). The E330âs LCD is âarticulated,â it can extend out from the camera body and swivel downward or upward so the E-330 can be held overhead to shoot over a crowd, held at the hip, or even placed on the groundâsomething thatâs not possible with a traditional SLR that relies on an optical viewfinder alone.

How to take professional quality indoor digital pictures with no flash and no camera stand?

I guess I need a professional digital camera, but which one, and with what equipment?
An example of what I want to do: I see photographers taking excellent shots at concerts (indoor) without using a flash, and holding the camera in their hands.



Answer
If you do get a DSLR or the like, get one with high ISO setting (1600-3200), a lens with a big aperture (F/2.8 or lower would be nice) and Image Stabilization (for Canon) or VR (for nikon) which gives you the ability to handhold about 3 stops less then you normally would be able to.

Also as mentioned, your shutter speed should not be lower then the focal length you're shooting at, i.e. at 200mm, your min shutter speed is 1/200. Any lower and it will show up blur unless you have IS/VR assist.
