Re: Cheap SLR camera
Then do you reAlly need an slr? You won't be getting the best out of it unless you understand the " fancy gizmos and lens ratios" I get the idea you'd be much better off with a good quality compact , they're just ad good as a cheap slr on auto , unless you have a understanding of aparturw, iso, and shutter speed relationships you'll just get frustratingly crap pics with an slr

Re: Cheap SLR camera
Sound advice! Excellent, thank you! I'll get a good compact then. This thread can be deleted as far as I'm concerned then. Thanks!
(and apologies Fizzmeister, I thought it was for general stuff) |

Re: Cheap SLR camera
Most slr's give you the best of both world's. Put it on auto and they still beat most compacts, then when your ready to start learning, experiment with the settings.

Re: Cheap SLR camera
I'd agree with bris. Get an SLR and use it on auto, it'll be better than a compact. When you're ready then start fiddling with the other bits.

Re: Cheap SLR camera
I have a Canon 450d and it's great in auto and Program mode if I just want to take pics...only when I start experimenting and trying to get real arty farty do the settings matter more...
I'd buy a second hand DSLR if I were you, you could pic up a Canon 400/450d fairly cheaply these days as they've been around a few years now and you might even get lucky and get some cool lenses for hardly anything extra for when the arty farty stuff starts to matter  I hope that helps |

Re: Cheap SLR camera
Yeah, that's what I wanted. Maybe I will reconsider getting a compact instead then!
