I want to buy a camera. I don't know whether to buy a mid-range SLR or a micro-single, such as Nikon D7000 and Sony NEX5NK.

It seems that you are not deeply poisoned by photography. You only see the weight of the SLR. In fact, the most important difference between SLR and other household consumer cameras lies in the feel and handling. Why didn't I say quality? Because the image quality of aps-c format micro-single camera has caught up with the entry-level SLR, such as Sony's nex series.

Second, since you only want to take good photos in your daily application, don't be too demanding. It is recommended to choose Sony nex-5n, whose image quality has been affirmed by the majority of users, and its sales volume ranks first among micro-cameras. There are also sub-factory lenses to choose from (for example, Longteng has introduced several compatible lenses with Sony nex bayonet), and the investment in the later stage is relatively economical. In addition, the latest nex-6 is licensed around 5500. Within your budget, I strongly recommend it, which is more mobile and has an electronic viewfinder.

Thirdly, because I personally like SLR very much, if I want to learn photography, I highly recommend choosing traditional SLR. If you have limited funds, it is recommended to buy aps-c format, which is enough for you to get started. There are the following points for reference.

1, Canon's biggest advantage is that the traditional SLR technology is leading, it has the largest lens group, and the deputy factory has the largest lens selection and the largest market share. The significance of this is that it is easy for you to find friends who play Canon SLR and exchange lenses with each other. This is very interesting. If you want to add lenses, all the original factories and branches have high, medium and low-grade choices, which are very selective and economical.

2. Nikon is comparable to Canon in traditional SLR technology, but it is almost the same in the above aspects and has been catching up with Canon.

3, 270-degree flip screen is the development trend of SLR (personal opinion). Flip the screen, if you want to use it, you will be crazy about this function. You can imagine that when you hold the camera high above the crowd to shoot a model, when you shoot flowers and plants at a low angle, whether it is horizontal or vertical, it will bring you unexpected convenience.

4. Personally, it is meaningless to discuss the image quality of entry-level SLR. It can be said that the image quality of the entry-level half-width SLR (aps-c format) is similar. No matter Nikon, Canon or Pentax, beginners can't tell the difference (of course, even the quality of the entry-level SLR head is fine). Choosing an entry-level SLR, I think we should refer to the four points listed above, workmanship and handling.

To sum up, I personally recommend starting with Canon SLR. Available models: 1, the latest 650d 18-55 sets (about 5000). The advantage of touch screen is that it is intuitive and easier for beginners to get started. There are many others, all online. Find it yourself. 2, 600d 18- 135 sets of machines (about 5400), advantages: the magnification of the head is large, it is better to go out to play, commonly known as a mirror to walk the world. Disadvantages: the focusing performance is not as good as 650d.

With the rest of the money, you can buy a tripod (around 500 yuan), a better camera bag (around 300 yuan) and a domestic flash, and the whole set will come down.

Fourth, talk about buying. Whether you want to buy a micro-order or a SLR in the end, shop around. Online JD.COM and Yi Rui are more reliable. After optimistic about the price, if the difference between online and physical stores is one or two hundred yuan, it is recommended to buy in physical stores. After all, there is no need to wait anxiously, and it is convenient after sale. In addition, Gome, Dazhong and Suning can bargain. Don't look like a rookie, and don't listen to his recommendation to change your mind. Go directly to the machine you like and put pressure on him directly with the online price. If you don't give discounts, you will often get miraculous results.

Personal experience summary, through the demonstration of friends around, is more reliable.
