My main interests are landscape/scenery and the compacts I’ve used just don’t meet the grade. In my price range, does it make sense to buy a cheap DSLR like the EOS 1000D/Rebel XS with a better than kit lens or should I buy something like the Nikon 5000D with the standard 18-55 lens? Many thanks!

They said that Nikon is the best brand for professional cameras.. i need to know specifically what model of nikon can do best for photography with affordable price.

I have been using point-and-shoot for a few years now and I think I’m ready for the DSLR.

What can you do with a DSLR that you cant do with a fully manual point and shoot? Not sure what is better.

Please explain thoroughly. I’m very confused. Thanks to those who are willing to help out!
So, which is much, much better, a professional camera or a DSLR?

Plan To Pursue Photography In College?
I want a good dslr camera but i dont have too much to spend i have to save it up myself so i want this to be a good investment. i have shopped around a bit but i would like some other opinions.

I am looking to buy a really nice camera. I would like to buy a DSLR but I’m running into a problem and can only find 2 with the video feature…which are way to expensive. The video feature is important to me since I have my kids. Does anyone know of a good SLR-like camera that has that feature? I need to stay under $400 or so.

I own a canon point and shoot and I would like to get a dslr that can produce better quality. What are some good entry-level dslr cameras? What about lenses? Any information or tips for a beginner?

I’m in the market for a good entry level DSLR. The issue is that many dealers in India sell cameras without manufacturer warranty. This puts a question mark on the quality/legality of the product and I don’t want to get ripped off buying a refurbished product. There’s nothing that will help me avoid buying a used product but I know that refurbished products have certain identification marks. If I get to know what these are at least I will be able to avoid buying such products.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance

I have a Canon Digital Rebel XTi and I already have the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II which I love! But I want to have a wider variety of lenses to choose from and I’m sort of on a budget.
They don’t necessary have to be made by Canon, as long as they fit on my camera and work nicely.
Thanks in advance for the help!
