SLR Cameras; do they work without lenses?
I was hoping to purchase a nice SLR camera soon.
I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to them, seeing I’ve only used simple Digital Cameras.
I was wondering if they work without the big lenses, as in just the body and it’s original lens.
and if it does work , are the pictures just as high quality as with a big lens?
Also , I was wondering what the best SLR camera is .
Nikon , Canon , Pentax , etc ?
And any ideas on one that isn’t too expensive , yet still produces high quality pictures ?
too expensive, for me would be over $800
Yes, you’ll need a lens if you want pictures to be decently sharp and in focus.
No, you don’t need the giant lenses you see other pros use to take pictures. Those really large lenses are known as “telephoto” lenses and are used to take pictures of things far away. Professional telephoto lens can easily cost thousands of dollars.
Most beginner DSLRs come in a kit with a 18-55mm lens. This lens will be decent enough until you grasp the basics and realize the limitations of the 18-55mm lens. Professional zoom lenses will cost over $1000, so a basic 18-55mm lenses obviously isn’t as good, but it’s good enough to take good quality photos.
