Best SLR 35mm camera?




Maria S


My dad is into photography and his birthday is coming up in 3 weeks. He has a DSLR camera and one those cameras that use silver plates (big old thing). He used to develop pictures himself and he still has the equipment. He sometimes uses an AE-1 program canon camera but I want to get him something more professional. Any suggestions?


Answer
I love the canon AE-1 program. That was my first real camera and I still use it (it's actually my favorite camera).

Buying a camera for someone like your dad is very tricky. I honestly would ask him first or I give him a gift certificate or something. Hobbyists like him most likely have strong opinions on what they really like. Even though I'm sure he would like whatever you give him, it's a good chance he may have chosen something else on his own.

When you said you wanted to get him something more professional, did you mean film or digital? Did you mean an old camera or a new camera?

The canon F-1 is the old professional canon camera (that uses the same lenses as the AE-1 Program).

Or if you wanted to get him a camera that he can use his DSLR lenses with, then you should go to the the official website of whatever brand he has, and take it from there.

Buena suerte/Good luck.

What kind of camera would you recommend for me?

Q. Im just 14 i dont want a proffesional 500$ camera. Im fine with a digital camera. I want about 16 megapixels and my price range sorry its a bit low its 110 at the most maybe 120. Im just looking for a fun camera. the MAIN thing i want in a camera is image stability. So that the slightest movement wont affect my picture. Because my hands are a bit shaky sometimes and my my moms camera the pics get blurry if you shake just a little. thanks!


Answer
There are plenty of entry level camera's in your price range. My suggestion would be Canon since they do the best overall packages (in my opinion)in terms of image quality, build quality and features.

The A series are the best option for your price range. Note that the official canon website prices are actually 10-20usd more expensive than what you can find online on Amazon or B&H Photo.com.

I would also recommend the Nikon compacts, I recently bought an S5200 for a friend who was perfectly happy with it:

As far as Image Stabilization, it's included in all camera's these days and it's pretty well implemented so you don't have to worry about not having that feature.
