I want to get into photography and I need a camera?

November 11th, 2012 6 comments

I will take pictures of Action Sports mostly. Skateboarding paintball football snowboarding all that kind of stuff. I don’t know what kind of camera to get and i cant find any good prices on the net.

Check out http://bhphotovideo.com for the best prices and great service. I’ve been buying from them since way before there was an internet.

They also have tons of information with each different camera for comparisons. You will need to determine your budget to figure out your options. A great starter camera is the Nikon D40X.

What is the best digital SLR photography camera?

My photography styles are :
– Action and Sports
– Portraits
– Landscapes

Which camera would be the best for me?
& my budget is around $350

Thankss

best one is the Nikon D3x which is $7000 without a lens

as for your budget, you can’t get any current-gen… or even last gen cameras for that much. The cheapest ones I recommend are the Nikon D3000 and canon Rebel xs which can both be found for $500

as for your photography styles, those three things matter on the lens you choose. For an Action Sports lens, you can probably get away with the 55-200 or 55-300mm lens which will cost in the neighborhood of $400

for portraits, you will need a portrait lens such as the 50mm f/1.4 or f/1.8. For nikons the f/1.8 version will fit, but you cannot autofocus with cameras the cameras less than $1000, the f/1.4 version will autofocus. the f/1.8 runs $100, and the f/1.4 costs apprx $300ish
as for landscapes, that calls for a wide angle lens, such as the Tokina 11-17mm lens. It matters what you get, but you can expect a decent wide angle lens to be $400+

my suggestion: save more money, get around $550-$600 and get the Nikon D3000 or Canon Rebel xs (or the next gen equivalents if they come out before you reach that budget point), and start with that.

SKateboarding/sports/action Photography, a blur???

Camera:Nikon d200
Lens: 55mm-200mm lens VR

When I was shooting a skateboarder today I kept getting blurry shots. What can I do to fix this? Will this happen when I shoot other sports?

Everybody else is right. Keep in mind, the VR (vibration reduction) in the lense only protects you against you shaking the camera. It doesn’t help you any if the subject is moving. Here are a few ideas:
1. Try using a flash.
2. Try setting up other artificial lighting.
3. Like everyone said, try using a fast shutter time.
4. Try making the aperature as large as possible.
5. Try a higher ISO (like 400).
