DSLR camera recommendation

[jansky]

d40, d60, d7000.. it all matters sa lense.
you dont need a higher MegaPixel di ka naman mag piprint ng billboard eh..

get a D3100 or Eos as starter SLR then grab a 17-50mm F2.8 / or any lense na constant F

pero if you are looking for the technology go to D7000

I still use my friends D60 but using my 50mm, and violah.. the shot still looks great

If you don't want the bulk but need DSLR quality, checkout the mirrorless cameras. I was a convert from Canon 60D. I now use a Sony NEX6. Same APS-C sensor as most DSLRs.

Sony Alpha NEX 6

NIKON d3200, DSLR in a smaller package.

The 650D touchscreen live view tap,focus and take photo is like those found on smartphones.

Nikon D3200 has better specs with 24.2 mp and 11 cross AF points...

+1 dun sa jep's house of gadgets, mura dun. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jeps-...66321966717657

i chose nikon (D3100, 2 years old na so "obsolete" na siya), for the reason that nikon dslr can use lenses of the old nikon slr film cameras. so kung on a budget ka for lenses pwede ka bumili ng second hand. di ko pa lang nga nahahanap sa quiapo yung lenses na gusto ko. i'm presently using a Sigma 18-250 for my all around lens. di naman ako pro, i just want good photos of my family and mahilig din kami magbyahe. one thing though, having a dslr hanging on your neck for a week can be very tiring.

sa flash, if you are on a budget there is yongnuo. i have the 565EX, YONGNUO, photographic equipment, camera accessories, flash light, camera remote control, speedlite, photo equipment, LED photo light, flash trigger, camera wireless remote control, TTL cord dun ko din sa jep's na-score.

Thanks sa mga input. I'm into photography during high school / college days. I even won in the national secondary press con national level using a point and shoot camera.
I have graduated from a Sony point and shoot 5 megapixel cam which already broke down. CP cam won't work . Want to rekindle my old hobby but I'm no longer familiar with digital cameras today...

Shooting with a P&S is a like shooting with a DSLR with its dial on AUTO.

Shooting with a P&S is far different from shooting with a DSLR. With a DSLR, you must understand the fundamentals of photography. At least the basics. You may afford to buy a D3 or a D4 but even their user's manual will not tell you how to get a good photograph.

My six year old D40 is still great. I prefer to bringing it over my D90 and no plan to upgrade another body for now. If I will buy another DSLR, I may get the entry level D3200 or it's older brother D3100. They are dirt cheap on their nice features. Not heavy on my shoulder and they are more than capable for personal use.

Ito ang bagong labas ng Sony. Ang ayaw ko lang sa kanilang line up ngayon ay yun DSLR line up nila ay DSLT na. Translucent yun mirror na gamit nila, kaya tawag eh DSLT. That model above is the SLT-A99.

Agree sir on the automatic mode. I have knowledge on using lights and best angle for shoots. I'll decide what to get this weekend in time for Christmas. Thanks sa mga input!

Even set to full AUTO, most DSLRs would still kick P&S cameras in the nuts. DSLRs generally have better optics and better/bigger sensors to make up for the lack of artistry of the camera logic.

However, the potential for a photograph to become infinitely better rests on the eyes and mind behind the viewfinder.

Pag nasa travel,- hassle masyado ang DSLR (with its various lenses). Isang bag na,- dito pa lang......

Kasi, ako ang palaging balagoong,- taga-kuha ng pictures...

pa OT

im thinking d7k or lense na lang. for my old d31 , have two lenses (50mm and 17-50mm)

[safeorigin]

Don't think I will replace my Nikon D40. It's just a great camera even for the price

[marg]

Ito advantage ng NIKON, madami and kalat ang lenses nya all over.

[Retz]

bang for the buck ba ang Nikon compared sa Canon DSLR?

[testament11]

To add. Consider also the after sales support ng mga brands. Which one has better support once the inevitable happens, so on and so forth...

bang for the buck ba ang Nikon compared sa Canon DSLR?

It depends...

[roninblade]

bang for the buck ba ang Nikon compared sa Canon DSLR?

like I said before, they are both good and worth your money. it's really a matter of personal preference. i know some people who started with nikons but ended up with canon, and vice versa. best advise is to not pick which is the most 'bang for buck' - again, they both are - research some more and look at different reviews online, go to the store and handle some models personally.
