Q. I have a nikon coolpix digital camera, and another digital camera from a couple years back, but i'm getting more and more interested in taking better quality pictures. I don't have a lot of money to spend on one, so the cheaper, the better. but i still want a good resolution quality and everything else good too. thanks in advance for any help.


Answer
You can find many film cameras for very cheap. Resolution will depend on the film you select and choice of lenses.
And you can have whole setups (camera+lenses) from 50-100 US to no more than 500 US. They will beat any digital setup for the price.
Look into:

- Rangefinders (I still use, from time to time my Canon AE-1P but even the EOS 1V could be found on eBay for ~400 US. The 1V is one of the best 35mm cameras ever made!)
- Medium Format (maybe an old Mamiya?)
- Large Format (try a starter one, maybe an old Crown Graphic or a Wista...)

Options, there are many. If you meant digital, then there is nothing best/cheap. It is sort of linearly dependent. The better they are, the more they cost.

I prefer Canon. It is a personal preference, no need to start the endless battle of which one is better.

-Point and Shoot - G12
-Entry level - 60D or even a Rebel

Suggesting anything above that is pointless because you want cheap.

DPreview lets you compare cameras side by side. It is a very nice tool for people looking to buy a camera

I have always just used basic P&S digital cameras, but would like to learn more about photography. I don't know very much as I am just starting to think about getting a good camera and have just started doing some research. I've looked at the Canon Rebel T1i and the Nikon D5000 and also a friend told me about the Canon EOS 40D. Any thoughts and suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hey,

Any of those 3 would be a great option. Many of us have used different DSLRs and when you're below 3500$, it's all the same. If you're using a camera only for low light (high ISO) then of course there will be differences, but technology today is so good there is barely any distracting noise at ISO 6400 while 3 years ago 1600 was..eh, acceptable.

T1i is a good choice but Canon could've done it better. The previous one, XSi, has 3 less megapixels and no video but same quality. T2i, the latest of these Rebels, is in my opinion, the best choice for beginners.

D5000 is good, but is fading out due to new cameras, especially because of D3100 and D7000. D3100 is almost the cheapest and is amazing.

40D is pretty old but still has great quality. Noise is worse than at T2i, 60D and 7D (due to technology) and the LCD Screen is bad compared to ones today. It doesn't have Microfocus adjustement and well, you can only get a used one.

Here's a post called 'Buying a DSLR, what's important, megapixels, features, brand, price, quality and which one to get - http://www.the-dslr-photographer.com/2009/03/which-dslr-to-buy.html

That site has many more tutorials, tips, reviews and guides. Good luck!
