Best digital camera for beginning photographer?
I would like to take a course or two in photography from our local junior college and I was wondering what would be a good digital camera to start with.
I am wanting to photograph people, radio control airplanes and nature.
Can anyone tell me what the minimum is I need to look for? Canon and Nikon seem to be the ones people seem to like the best.
What all do I need? Should I purchase a kit or everthing seperately? I am assuming I will need a memory card and a flash and a bag and lenses and…
Thank you for your input!
I don’t care to puchase a 35mm camera. I like the digital cameras because I don’t have the expense of film and processing. With the digital I can put the photos on my computer to edit them and just process the ones I like.
Nikon D40, a Nikkor 70-210 zoom , & a skylight filter (and lots of memory cards).These should give you something to start with.
Canon do do some things well. But I’ll always choose Nikon – for compatibility between componenents fi nothing else. I have a 30 year old Nikon FE, a 10 year old Nikon 6006 & a 1 year old Nikon D70 – they ALL use the same 3 zooms covering 24mm-500mm (1500 with a 3X converter).
