What digital slr camera should I buy for magazine photography? I am not a professional photographer?
My partner and I have set up a local community magazine, we have been using a point and shoot digital camera, but feel that we now need to upgrade to a slr. We have no professional training in photography, so have limited knowlege on the subject. I have searched the internet for different reviews, but just seem to drown in information. Please can someone offer advice, please!!!!!
any entry point DSLR will be good enough. Something like the Nikon D40 or the Canon Digital Rebel XT/350D is perfect for a starter like you. They’re pretty affordable (compared to other DSLRs that is) and it works just like any other DSLR so if you upgrade your camera to another DSLR in the future you won’t find yourself in a hard time adapting yourself to a new camera.
The hardest thing to pick is not the camera – it’s the lens – some lenses are specialized and there’s one made for specific task, and it won’t work well if you use it for another task. But at this point – if all you do is taking picture of people, I think the kit lens that comes with the two camera I mentioned above is good enough.
Finally I highly recommend a photography class for you – a DSLR is a pretty complex piece of equipment (well there’s an auto mode but you won’t be utilizing a DSLR’s potential if you’re using auto and at that point you’d better off with a point and shoot anyway) and you will appreciate what you have to learn in the photography class.
Well, I hope this helps.
