What SLR???

Question

Ok i am a beginner, but i have seen a few slr that look quite good but are they?

These are the ones i have seen:

olympus e-410

Nikon d40

pentax k110d

Sony alpha a200

I know these are budget slrs but which one of these would you recomend???

Answer 1

D40 ???  Ha Ha Ha ha.

I have one of those mentioned above. Obviously not the Nikon.

If you want to see results, message me and I will send you a link to my Redbubble Profile Page, so you can judge for yourself, and give you more info.

Good luck with your choice though.

Answer 2

I suggest Canon 450D, it's small and lightweight, easy to operate and produces some really good photos.

Answer 3

RJS is correct ... hold them in your hands and see which fits your style of shooting and is easiest for you to control.

Wear earplugs ... some of the cameras you listed have higher margins, so the seller can make more money when they sell it to you.   This is expecially true of the third party lenses ... that and sometimes the salesman gets a $25 or $50 spiff when they sell such a camera.

Answer 4

Hey there.

     For beginner,  you would be very happy with the Nikon D40... actually... even if you were not a beginner,  you would like it.    What I do recommend is that you go in to a camera sales facility and check out the DSLR's for yourself.  Handle them and ask the sales rep all the questions you have while you are there.

    I always find that whta really makes up my mind is to check out the camera in person.

Hope that helps

Thanks for reading.

Answer 5

The Pentax K100D Is better than the K110D.
