camera summary

I’m so thankful for all my lovely readers who shared their camera set-ups with me. Buying an expensive camera can be an extremely intimidating purchase. Getting advice from people who own the devices is definitely a must and helps you tailor your search. After gathering all the information I could, I was surprised that more cameras with flip screens exists than I thought, any way I’ve narrowed it down to 4 digital SLR cameras that I think could work for me, all in different price ranges. I was pleased that the suggestions I was getting also matched Squidoo’s Top Selling and Top Rated lists.

I’ll most likely find the camera body that works for me and buy the lens I need. I think I’ll be able to build a better set-up and save money this way. Once you package the camera into a kit, you lose some quality and the prices go up. Customizing just means a little more time and research. I’ll be looking into 2 kinds of lens, one for low light situations and one for everyday shooting. I’ve got my eye on a could 50mm lens for low-light but need to do some research on best “every day” type lens. Any suggestions?

My next step will be to find a great camera shop in the area and hopefully get my hands on my top pics. I’m a pretty petite gal and I don’t want carrying around my camera to feel like I’m lugging around a small child. I also want a camera that I can build on over the years. I’ve recently landed a freelance web design job that will allow me to buy some extra accessories such as an external flash, tripod and remote. If you have any suggestions for those items, shoot them my way.

Also, if you’re in the market for a new camera and don’t see the one you were looking at in my top 4 selection, let me know. I got a lot of good suggestions from a range of photographers, amateurs and pros. You can also check out the comment section of THIS post.

Have any of you bought a camera accessory that you thought you’d need, but you rarely use?

  1. I’d rule out the Rebel XS for you. While it is cheaper, it won;t be nearly as good in low light. You don’t just want to look at what ISO the camera can go to but also the quality of the image the camera can produce at that given ISO. The other three will out perform the XS all day. Newer technology and whatnot.. A 50mm is a great low-light lens. The f/1.8 can be bought for under $100 but isn’t radically sharp. The f/1.4 is even better in low light but a bit more expensive. Definitely worth the extra scratch. For a day-to-day lens, I’d recommend getting the kit lens (18-55). It’s not super sharp or great in low light but any other lens that would be a good replacement would likely cost more than the whole setup. If you want to see these in person, I’d go to Creve Coeur Camera. Much more friendly and willing to work with the amateur than Schillers.

  2. I own the nikon d3000 its the camera released right before the D3100 i love it and it works really well very quick shooting and is very versitile. I did alot of reasearch before i bought it, i love that it can take even the old nikon lenses. And the bettery lasts forever. Ive had it since last july, and i use it every day pretty much, and i only have to charge it about 1 or 2 times a month. :0) the pictures with the nikon are beautiful. Ive used the cannons before and i didnt like them as much. Nikon also has great customer supoort for help with anything also. Good luck!! :0)
