What kind of entry-level camera should a newbie learn photography buy?

1: Choice within 1800

Canon A520 (full manual support)

If you want to recommend a cost-effective digital camera to entry-level photography enthusiasts, Then Canon A520 is undoubtedly one of the best choices. This model has a fully manual exposure mode, and the exposure parameters can be finely adjusted. The parameter adjustment range is relatively wide, for example, the shutter speed range reaches 15-1/2000 seconds. In addition, it is also equipped with a 4x optical zoom lens, from 35mm to 140mm, covering wide-angle landscapes to medium-telephoto portraits, which is extremely practical! Maybe the 4-megapixel resolution is a drawback, but it's enough for novices to practice their photography skills.

Canon's A-series manual exposure models are positioned very accurately in the entry-level market. The A520 is quite balanced in terms of configuration, functions, and price. Its current actual selling price is only 1,800 yuan! I have searched the entire digital camera market and cannot find another entry-level digital camera with this positioning. For consumers who have a low budget and want to buy a camera to learn photography, especially students, the Canon A520 can Listed as a preferred model.

2: Choice within 2000

Nikon COOLPIX 7600 (excellent imaging, the cheapest 7-megapixel camera)

Put Nikon COOLPIX with 7.1 million effective pixels Positioning the 7600 as an entry-level camera is a bit luxurious, but it is indeed an entry-level portable DC suitable for beginners. If you just want to play digital and not learn photography, then this one is enough.

The ultra-high photographic resolution provided by Nikon COOLPIX 7600 is unmatched by any other entry-level digital camera. Coupled with the advantages of the 3x zoom NIKKOR ED lens, combined with ultra-low dispersion lenses, it can minimize chromatic aberration and bring sharp and clear images. Night scene shooting is very beautiful and delicate.

COOLPIX 7600 is easy to operate, has accurate focusing, and has up to 16 scene modes. Convenient, fast and worry-free, it is very suitable for the pace of modern life. The price of about 2,000 yuan should be acceptable to students.

Choices within 3000:

Canon A620 (full manual support, 700W pixels)

Personally, I think the A620 is a DC worth recommending. The reason why Canon Being able to maintain its leading position in the field of digital cameras for a long time is inseparable from its strong product research and development capabilities. This A620 also embodies the kingly spirit among consumer-grade manual utility DCs. Although there are still shortcomings, with its powerful performance, it is already difficult to find opponents among DCs of the same level and is highly competitive.

First of all, PowerShot A620 has good image quality, 7-megapixel output, powerful control performance, and a rotatable 2-inch LCD screen. If these performance parameters were placed in the digital camera market a year ago, It is definitely a configuration that only a high-end model can have. Now, such parameter configurations appear on PowerShot A620, but the current price of PowerShot A620 is only less than 2,800 yuan! ~

Currently, there are not many opponents of PowerShot A620 on the market. Perhaps Sony's W7 will be her opponent. After all, W7 has a very respectable large screen, but if you consider accessories and practicality, Canon PowerShot A620 is better than W5 in every aspect. In addition, Nikon 7900 can also be the opponent of PowerShot A620, but it does not have full manual function and is worse than PowerShot A620 in terms of controllability. Other 7-megapixel models are either more expensive than the PowerShot A620 or lack enough manual functions to compete with the PowerShot A620. Judging from the current situation, PowerShot A620 will occupy the title of king of mid-to-low-end cost performance for a long time.

Personally, I think the above three cameras are very cost-effective and are among the best in their class.

Wish you buy the ideal DC! ~
