BETSEYY JO
I have a digital camera and very intrested in photography. I think I am ready for a little more advanced camera that can take nice high quality photos. I am 14 and i do not know if i am ready for a digital SLR camera. Can you tell me a camera that you think i am ready for?
Answer
If you enjoy photography and you are ready to step up from snapshots, you have some learning ahead of you. You need to learn about film/sensor speed, aperture, and shutter speed, and the way those three elements combine to make an image. You also need to learn about composition, contrast, tone, and lots of other elements of a good image.
My recommendation as far as a tool to go along with this learning process is a fully manual 35mm film SLR camera, one that can take interchangeable lenses, and one where you set the aperture and shutter speed manually before each shot. The good news is that these days, even really nice, professional quality film SLRs are dirt cheap. You can find good ones on craigslist for as little as 75 to 100 bucks, or you can spend a little more to get one from a shop, like a local camera shop or an online shop like www.keh.com where you know it has been checked out to make sure it works, as well as having a return policy if it doesnt. There are lots of brands out there, but I would stick with one from Nikon, Pentax, Olympus, Canon, Minolta, or Leica, although I doubt you would find a Leica R camera in your price range. Don't bother with anything else. Of those, I recommend Pentax and Nikon the most, as their old manual lenses still work on their new digital cameras. Look for a Pentax K1000 or Pentax ME, or almost any full manual Nikon, such as the FA, FM2n, or FM3a. Don't get a zoom lens. Zoom lenses instill bad habits in photographers. Get a 50mm non-zoom lens. With that, you will learn to move, to get close to your subject, to hunt for the best angle at which to take your picture.
As to film, check out Kodak BW400CN, which is a black and white film that can be processed at any 1 hour photo lab. It costs about ten bucks for three rolls, and each roll costs five to seven bucks to get processed with a set of prints and a cd with scans of your pictures.
If you get a fully manual film camera with a non zoom lens, you always use it in fully manual mode, and you practice, you will find that in a couple short years that the photographic world is your oyster. If you can make good images with a setup like that, you can make good images with anything. Don't think that you are too young to be able to learn how to do it, either. I started out with a Pentax K1000 and a 50mm lens when I was eight, and if I could do it at eight years old, you can excel at it at 14.
Good luck!

Looking to buy a fancy Canon camera and I need your help?
I'm looking to purchase a Canon Camera at the end of the year but don't know which one to choose. What is the difference between all the different Canon cameras... Canon Rebel, Canon Ti, Canon Ti4, etc.? I have always loved taking pictures. I'm getting tired of my digital camera. I want to expand my photography and start taking really wonderful quality photos. What Canon camera do you suggest I get?
Answer
Fancy huh?
There is nothing fancy about a fully adjustable camera. The simply use a light meter to determine the proper exposure (balancing ISO, shutter speed and lens aperture). That is as simple as it gets.
Add to that, you have a choice of many different focal lengths which makes them more versatile than the really "fancy" P&S cameras the detect smiles, faces and friends faces.
If you think that a T1i and T4i are NOT digital cameras then you need to do more research.
Spend some time on these websites and see if any of the listed cameras fit your needs.

After you have visited these sites and have taken notes listing the features of each camera you are interested in buying, visit this site to see how the sensors all perform.

And finally with your notes in hand, visit a proper camera shop and hold your top choices in your hands. You will get plenty of opinions here, but you really need to do the research yourself to know which camera system is best for you.
Now maybe the bad news.
Taking "really wonderful quality photos" has all to do with your skills, NOT the camera you buy.
You can produce the same boring snapshots on your "tired" digital camera as you can on a $43,000 Hasselblad digital camera unless you have the skills and understanding of the fundamentals of photography. That will take some formal training and time
