For all of you who have been following my photo journey over the past month or so know that I’ve had lots of things to consider with all the great camera out there right now. Nikon or Canon? Entry-level or Pro-sumer? This and that, back and forth. I finally weighed all my options and decided to buy the Canon Rebel T2i with the 18-135 mm lens upgrade. I’ll also be purchasing a 50mm f1.4 or f1.8 in the near future, but I have a friend that will let me test them both out before buying. (I’ll write about lens comparisons in a later post)
I found a really great camera shop here in St. Louis that has AMAZING customer service and they have the ability to make you not feel dumb when being surrounded by profession photographers. The man at the shop walked me through ALL my options and what the prices of each option would be. He then made a suggestion based on what my camera needs were and his suggestion ended up being what I had in my mind all along. I knew the T2i was the perfect choice.
I look forward to being able to have super high quality photos on my blog. I may even attempt to do some more personal fashion posts if I get used to being in front of the camera instead of behind the camera. OH! Another really cool thing about this little camera shop I found was that with any purchase of a DSLR you get two FREE photography classes for two people, 100 FREE prints and a FREE backup Canon battery! Those were definitely some of the selling points.
If any of you have camera shopping questions I’ve been completely immersed in the whole things for some time now, so I might be able to help. Also stick around for more camera goodness…I’m looking for a great camera bag!
