Anyone know anything about Cannon Cameras?

**cktlcmd** · December 29th, 2009 10:29 AM

I am planning to purchase an entry level professional Cannon Camera. Can anyone recommend a model with a wide variety of lenses to upgrade to?

entry level lang ba? hmmm...

canon eos 1000d
canon eos 450d
canon eos 500d

they come with kit lenses of 18-55mm o 17-55mm ata. not sure sa canon

kung anong lens gusto mo? it depends kung ano ang field of photography ang gusto mo. pero the common na ginagawa ng karamihan is they buy a 55-200mm zoom lens or buy a 18-105 or 200 lens. define first muna kung anong field gusto mo, macro shooting, portrait shooting, landscape/panoramic shooting, fast moving/sports shooting.

I plan on starting with landscape/panoramic shooting first then, probably branch out. I still have to buy a good photography book too.

Thank you for your reply. I will look at those models you listed and compare their features.

Also consider Nikon D90 (kit comes wiht 18-105mm VR Lens). Make sure to get a CDSC unit only for the 2-year Warranty. Don't patronize smugglers and parallel importers, they won't be able to help you when your unit conks out.

Having used both Canon and Nikon, mas gusto ko ang colors ng Nikon though Canon isn't bad a choice.

Also check among your friends kung ano ang gamit nilang DSLR so you can borrow lenses for you to experiment with.

Good luck.

Meron pa lang CANNON na camera? Ano ung lens nun parang kanyon?

peace!

Canon is the best, except for it's sound when taking shots. Sabi ng friends ko mas okay daw Nikon sa sound. But what difference that sounds makes diba? Go for 500D or 40/50D

This is a good list the prices hindi nag kaka layo medyo ang diffrence lang nila is the grip, focus points and pixel. For my entry level i use 1000D kasi mura, just got a few lens like the kit canon EFS18-55 i use in-door, canon EFS55-250 for my sport shoot and portrait and 18-200 sigma lens with macro for all around.

Are your refering to DSLRs? Canon is a good choice but Nikon on my opinion is better at still photos. Visit a shop so you can actually get a grip and feel every model on your list. You can choose between Canon 500D or Nikon D5000 if you are an amateur. If you wish to become a serious amateur try gettin Canon 50D or preferably Nikon D90. Don't be fooled by the number of megapixels of a camera, take a look closely at camera sensors and compare the image results. Try to invest on good lenses instead of the camera body alone. Since camera body changes every 2+ years and lenses are goin to stay in a lifetime. You can invest first with standard zoom lenses(walk-around lens) and prime lenses (for portraits). From here, you will know what you want next. And one more thing, buy a separate flash, since the built-in flash is not enough.
