CALLiNG ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS!!

posted 3rd Dec
Ever since i was in high school i wanted to be a photographer, my small town didnt offer any type of photography classes so i know nothing about cameras[like the dslr or slr or p&s] i just enrolled in a college thats about 40 mins away they offer a photography class so i plan on taking that. but my main question is which camera is best for a beginner? i have digital cameras but im looking to buy a bigger one either a nikon or canon. ive never used one before, i heard nikon is best but i want your opinion. which is better? im looking to spend around $600, no more then that for right now! i love everything about photography i eventually want to make it my career! please if you have advice let me know!

Quoting T + T = A S G ♥:" Canon Rebel T3"
 
Though when I start my photography I plan on getting the T3i. More features and whatnot.

I agree with the other ladies. Either the T3 or one of the T_i ones. I prefer Canon's simply because Nikons require you to purchase a certain type of lens if your camera doesn't have an auto focus motor in it (which it's mainly only the higher end models that have the AF motor.)

Both brands are good, I think Cannon is a little more user friendly and I have a long history of using them so I just like to stick with what I know. Some of my friends like Nikons and I have used them and they take great pictures. I would always suggest to a friend to stick with cannon.

I use a 35mm Cannon EOS RebelG
For Dig I use Cannon EOS Rebel Ti3

I think for you to start with the Cannon Rebel T3 would be a very good start. Also try looking online to see what people are selling, that is a good way to get a good deal.
Also you can talk with the teacher at your school and see what they suggest for the students. Some times in class it is nice to have what the teacher is working with. Most teachers will know the canon rebel series though so you would be good with it.

If you plan on using it for video also you should think about the T4i. It is hard to film with the t3i. It has some stupid problems with the focusing while you film. They fixed that problem when they came out with the newer t4i. But if you are not going to use the video camera feature then stick with the t3i

I don't. I hate filming smurf. I just prefer stills.
