This day-and-age there are literally hundreds of cameras to choose from. The easy choice is to go out and buy what your professor or your friends have, or just get what’s advertised the best or what looks cool. Honestly, if you are an amateur photog then you’re going to take perfectly fine pictures with any DSLR in the mid-range level. My question is, do you need to spend 200, or 300 more on a camera that you can get exactly the same specs or perhaps better quality out of a DSLR that is cheaper?
I found this site justafax.com/dslr and what’s great about it is that it literally does a side-by-side comparison of the top 12 cameras in this category, based on all of the factors that should affect your purchasing decision.
I found the information on justafax.com/dslr extremely helpful, especially in comparing the types of desires and features I was getting for my$. I think you owe it to yourself to check it out, the info is very concise and easy to read and should help inform your purchase. It’s not a cheap purchase, so do your homework!
Good luck guys, I hope you find the camera of your dreams.
