Choosing a DSLR
Choosing a DSLR is not rocket science. Ask yourself how much you are willing to spend, and why? Wouldn't you rather grow into your gear, instead of having it outgrow you? Given all the extras a photographer needs, a solid initial investment will save you money in the years to come. Have you ever tried to find parts for out-dated models? *That* is expensive.
When choosing a DSLR, don't forget your media either. Compact flash or SD cards are the way to go as they are used in practically every camera, there are multiple ways to move the data from them to a computer, and they are easily obtained.
Consider your style when choosing a DSLR. How long will the shoot take? Where are you going? Do you need a fast lens? What is your lighting like and how well can that be controlled? Make sure you get something with a sturdy body. Remember though, choosing your other necessities, such as batteries and lenses is just as important as choosing the camera. Lenses can be expensive, but consider quality as well as the purpose. Batteries are rechargable; choose one with a decent life if you travel a lot, and always have a spare.
Pixels - the building blocks of our art. You can only enhance what is there to begin with. Megapixels are an important consideration when choosing a DSLR. The higher your initial resolution, the more you can enlarge your photos without losing smooth edges, as you would with a lower resolution camera.
Ultimately, your camera is a tool, an extension of yourself, used to capture your vision. So choose one that compliments your shooting style, and best suits you. Here at Cheap Digital SLRs, we offer you a broad range of cameras to choose from. One of them is certain to be perfect for you.
