I want to take a dslr camera in a housing underwater with me when I scuba dive. I hear that some cameras are better for underwater use. If this is true, I’d like to know which camera will be the best. I want to take professional-looking photos while not really paying too much for a camera(under $1000). Thanks!

I have an Olympus 4000 Camedia camera for 5 years that takes great pics. But I want to get more into photography and they all say to get a dSLR. But why? I’m looking at the Nikon D40 (hubby doesn’t like the price) and the aperture for the lens seems really narrow. So I need to get more lenses? Is it really going to be that much better than my old one and why? Thanks in advance!

I am seriously thinking about investing in a new DSLR camera. The problem is…there are just so many out there. I’ve been reading review after review, but I can’t seem to find a standout.

My question is this: what is the best DSLR camera out there for amateurs? Keeping in mind, I am a beginner and will need to learn how to use the bad boy, but I don’t want that to handicap my camera choice.

Any thoughts?

Hi friends , I am planning to buy a new DSLR camera. I am not a professional.
Please give me some directions…
i am looking to a low cost one..
what about Canon DSLR 1000 D?
thanks you

Well I’m into photography and art and I would like a nice beginners camera. I’m not that great with technical stuff..
-Is it semi-easy to understand?
-Too complicated for a first camera?
Any advice would be great, thanks!

I have been using a Conon Powershot SX10is for some time
I have been looking at DSLR cameras
And I feel that the Canon EOS Rebel XSi is the best camera for me
Does anyone have any Hands on experience with it
Or camera suggestions

I have two Canon Rebel SLR cameras. One is digital (about 2 1/2 years old) and the other is about 4 years old and is a film camera. I just realized that my 28-80 lens from my film camera seems to fit on my digital SLR. Is it okay to put it on there? Is there a reason why I should or should not? Thank you for any advice.

It shows the standard battery life and shots remaining, but I have to look thru the viewfinder to see what I want to shoot. In the instruction manual it shows me being able to view the subject in the LCD screen- just don’t know how to do so.

on a point and shoot camera you can see the image through the screen instead of the finder how do you change that so that my dslr can so the image through the screen?
please help….if this makes any sense
