Hi all,
I am new to this forum. I want to upgrade my compact camera to DSLR.
At first, planning to buy 550D. But now 60D is out and available in singapore.
Can you all help me which one is best for begineer? Which lens I should go first?
I like to shoot mostly landscapes and potrait.
I already review about that two cameras on dpreview.
Acutually, I didn't have much experience yet.
Thanks
Hi, my personal opinion is for you to get the cheaper of the 2, infact you might want to consider buying the 2nd hand sold in B&S section. My rationale is simple, both the camera 550D or 60D is a jump for you, so either of them should be able to satisfy your learning need to use a DSLR and both can take beautiful pictures. (like they always say, its all about the photographer, not the gear) To get a cheaper camera among your choice is because there are example of people who took the jump to DSLR and then gave up and start selling their camera here in CS. I hope you are not one of these people and even if you are, a cheaper camera or a 2nd hand one will minimize your losses. :dunno:
If you are serious about photography, I suggest you don't buy the beginner model cos after sometime if you sell you loss money.
Suggest you think seriously about it and once you decided to take up this hobby go for a mi range camera body that can last you for some years. The Lens (Glass) is the critical item and not so many people changing the body so buy Canon D60, D7 or Nikon D90 or D300 that my advise.
For lens, go for a basic 18-105 etc and explore before buying additional.
Happy shooting and welcome to CS.
That's why. I don't know which one to choose. Because when I compare 550D and 60D specs. They is a slight difference only. Can you help to explain abit?
My budget is only 2K. I cannot go 7D although I want to.
Thanks for ur advice ...
