canon digital camera 600d image
bitchpleas
I'm interested in taking photos of nature - particularly wildlife. I'm looking for a high-end great quality camera, preferably below $1000. Any suggestions would be great! thanks!
Answer
Well I recommend only Nikon or Canon due to their image quality and wide range of camera accessories and lenses.
You are going for wildlife so you want to get the longest focal length (more zoomed in). For this you want to choose APS-C sensor camera and is also conveniently more affordable. It increases focal length of your lens as opposed to a full frame sensor. You are also going to have to spend money on a decent lens. Also it would be preferable to buy a camera with a fast FPS (frames per second [more shots per second])
Canon cameras I suggest: Canon EOS 550D (3.7 fps), not the 600D mainly because it is the exact same but more expensive. Also the Canon EOS 40D (6.5 fps). This camera isn't sold new anywhere but you can buy it second hand in good condition. Also I would suggest buying a second hand camera. My reason for this is because you are new to photography and probably in a few months you will be moving on to another camera (trust me, you are no exception, you will want to upgrade because buying photography equipment is addictive). Also you'll save money buying it second hand. Also sometimes buying a camera new it can be faulty, at least you're guaranteed that if you buy it second hand you know it had a good history, meaning it won't fail you. Now you're thinking, em surely a second hand camera will break sooner. Not quite modern DSLRs have a very long life. I know HEAPS of people that bought second hand cameras and have never ever ran into problems with them. Just make sure you check out the accutations (amount of pictures taken on it) with the seller. Compare the accutations with the amount on the camera review.
Nikon: I suggest the Nikon D90.
Google DXO Mark and compare cameras. You should be able to find this on the site pretty easy. This site gives you an accurate overview of the cameras IQ (image quality), dividing it into parts such Color depth, ISO (the amount of grain (speckly bits) you get in your shot in certain low light conditions) and Dynamic Range (getting more detail in highlights and shadows of your photos).
Lenses: I always go to www.photozone.de to check out if a lens is good or not (make sure you check out the APS-C section and not Full Frame, mainly because lenses very in quality over these areas). For the canon cameras I definitely suggest the Canon EF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 IS USM for wildlife photography. This lens is sharp (you get more detail in your photos meaning they look more life like), it also has "Image Stabilisation" meaning you can use it in low light and without a tripod more often without getting blury images. If you can't afford this get the Sigma DG APO Macro F/4-5.6.... it's not the sharpest lens in the world but it is very affordable and actually has a very sharp centre (which is actually the important part considering your subject is nearly always in the centre in wildlife photos)
I'm not very sure on lenses from nikon as I'm a canon man myself. But check out photozone.de in the nikon Aps-c sensor section.
Also I suggest buying a cheap tripod. I still use a cheap tripod. All a tripod does is hold your camera still, spending more money on a tripod is not going to make your camera any stiller. Also cheap tripods are light and easy to bring around cos they are made out of plastic and aluminium.

Best camera for taking professional pictures ?

Hi ,my name is Sasha my friend is buying me a camera for my birthday because I want to be a photographer what is the best digital camera ?
Answer
You need to visit the Nikon and Canon websites and see what fully adjustable (dSLR) cameras are available and which have the features you want or need.
Next spend some time on DP Review reading the professional reviews of the cameras you think my fit your needs.
Then visit this website to see how the sensors of each camera performs
http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Cameras/Camera-Sensor-Ratings
And finally, visit a proper camera shop and hold some of them in your hands
What you need to know is this.
* you will not be able to produce "professional" pictures without understanding the fundamentals of photography and many years experience.
* what camera system you eventually choose will determine which system you will be married to for the next few decades.
Look at the Nikon D3200 and Canon T3i/600D. Also look at some of the entry level Pentax and Sony cameras. It may take you longer than you think to pick the right camera for you. Take your time so you are sure you get the best camera for you ... NOT us
