DSLR camera recommendation

[donbuggy]

Top brands today are Nikon, Canon, Sony, and Pentax. Pero try to take a look sa Micro 4/3 system, a.k.a. mirrorless system. Wala itong flapping mirror mechanism, hence called mirrorless. Interchangeable din ang mga lens nito at ang body size is just like a digicam lang. Sa M4/3 naman, there's Olympus, Sony, Samsung, and Panasonic Lumix.

Will mirrorless system cameras be more popular than DSLRs?

I believe some time in the not so near future it will. The mirrorless camera is just getting started (2008). But once it fully mature I believe it will dominate the market, just like from film to digital camera progression it will take a while.

Beside the original lenses, what make Nikon and Canon stand out are the multitude of lenses available from third party brands like Sigma and Tamron...

Canon line-up...

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

In comparo... Nikon D5000 is worth more your money compared to its equivalent Canon model.

[CoDer]

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

Ah tukso... I'm saving for a 300mm lens for next year and that's it never again.

The D5000 was already superceded by the D5100 in 2011. Direct competitor is the Canon 600D.

For those newbie/beginner na photographer, did you attend a formal photography training? or you just experiment by yourself with your new DSLR? Ano ba advice niyo sa mga newbie na gustong matuto ng basic photography?

For me, it helped that I had a friend who's an enthusiast and doing semi-pro photography. He emphasized that no matter what camera you wield, you have to learn the basics of exposure. So, when he taught me its about aperture vis-a-vis shutter speed to get a good shot and that came with a lot of experimentation. I also bought a lot of photography magazines (old issues in Filbars) because they had articles on how-to's for particular projects like portrait photography, wedding photography, etc.

Can't say I'm shooting like a pro now, but I definitely learned how to take better pictures.

Just watch how to use <your DSLR model> on youtube pwede na and photography magazines.

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.

In my case, I ended with having both systems due to my side line. I am a Nikon user but Nikon's video is not on par with Canon (some reasons are ergonomics and shooting optioons), so I bought a Canon 60D and a Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 lens to do video. With regards to photo, I still choose NIkon over Canon, but both of them do really are good in photos.

For me, I think maybe. Isang ayaw ko sa mirrorless system is the electronic viewfinder and the crop factor. Mirrorless will somewhat be more popular as a secondary or a back-up camera.

At first, basa basa sa internet. Pero I did attend a 5 day workshop regarding basic photography. Yun iba, talagang natuto lang sa kakabasa at application. Photography kasi is dapat basahin ang theory, then apply it, then break it.

Just watch how to use <your DSLR model> on youtube pwede na and photography magazines.

True, lalo ngayon na sobrang dami ng videos and articles regarding photography. Workshops kasi are intended nalang kung gusto mong maging line of work ang photography or for bragging rights na naka-attend ka ng ganitong workshop.

Yes, they cost so much like a 2nd hand car or even more.. Seriously, get a drybox to protect your photographic investment...

[Monseratto]

Ah, Mayers, whose owner is the legendary Mang Ramon... They're one of the best camera shops in Hidalgo. Prices are very good as well as their after service. I got my Nikon D7000, Canon 60D, and Canon Speedlite 600 EX-RT from him.

As for your question, you may take a look at Nikon D3200, Nikon D5200, or Canon 650D. Lahat yan under 30k ang price. Kelangan mo lang eh mahawakan yun camera and decide kung ano ang mas feel mo.

Just dropped by Mayer's earlier this week and Ramon seemed to give me good price on 600D. I'm still thinking it over.. Hehe but malayong malayo presyo sa mga malls...
