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.

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...

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...
