~Rumour~ Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hi all, I am looking at getting a new camera as all I currently just have a point & shoot. I have never had a good quality camera and I will probably be looking at doing a few courses in the near future to get my skill level up. So what would you dolers recommend for a complete newbie? Thankyou! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 i 'just have a point & shoot' . recently I did acquire a DSLR ... but P&S cameras can still do a good job CLICK HERE ( and I prefer using mine over the DSLR , for lots of things:o ) here is one of my P&S pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlot Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 depends on what you want to spend, I prefer the nikon range nikon d90 - $1200 canon eos 50d $1200 then lenses is a whole different ball game... I recommend getting a decent body and superb lens for best images... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dxenion Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) I am also trying to decide on my first DSLR but their weight and bulk is putting me off. Don't discount P&S - they have their advantages in being small and lightweight. A photographer once told me that the first rule of photography is to have your camera with you! Some of my P&S photos: Edited to add that I've been keeping an eye on the Sony Nex5. Whilst some may say it's not a true DSLR, for me it combines the best of both worlds - the functionality of a DSLR and the compact size of a P&S. Just waiting for the price to come down a bit.

Sherlot Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 dxenion, what p&s do you own... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dxenion Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) dxenion,what p&s do you own... Currently have a Sony DSC-T300 which replaced a Sony DSC-T1 when that died. Also use the photo button on my Sony Camcorder HDR-SR11E when taking photos of my fish or as a backup if the T300 battery goes flat. These are from the camcorder: .
