This may sound stupid, but I dont know too much about cameras, but I want to buy a nice SLR camera with some cash Ive been saving up, or will save up
I have a 10MP point and click digital camera, and it's okay, but I dont like the limits it has, I dont like the lack of Manual focus, I dont like the time between pictures, I dont like how its all in a digital menu (I like buttons on cameras for fast access) for starters...
And the thing about me is, I usually try to run with things before I can walk, I would rather not buy a $450 SLR to "learn how to use it" because shit, im upgrading in the future? Why would I waste money? And im surely not getting into photography, so I wont need anything past $700
So any suggestions? I've looked at the specs of the cameras, and about 60% of it is gibberish, 25% I know, and 15% I understand the principals
These are the two cameras I'm thinking about getting
The Nikon D60 10.2MP
&
The Cannon EOS Rebel XSi 12.2
The Rebel looks nice, like it's worth the extra cash, especially the 12.2MP would be good if I want to print or frame large pictures
My mom bought a Cannon SLR (Film) many, many years ago and said she loved it (still has it but uses the Digital Point And Shoot) but now that were stepping into the Digital realm I know theyre not so much the same
So basically I'm trying to get some basic info, about cameras, photography, experiences with any SLR cameras... Anything of the sort
Thanks all
