Newbies who are getting started with photography are torn between Canon 60D, Nikon D90, Sony A57 and Pentax K5.

The current brand rankings in the SLR world are Nikon/Canon, Pentax, and Sony, so there is nothing wrong with choosing between Nikon and Canon.

Canon does not have body motors, but the lenses do, so they can all achieve autofocus. The mid-range 60D and above start to have shoulder screens for easy operation, such as adjusting aperture, speed, iso, and white balance. .....It can all be done using the shoulder screen, who knows how convenient it is.

Nikon, the mid-range D90 and above began to have shoulder screens, which are easier to operate, and began to have body motors. In terms of lenses, lenses starting with AF-S have motors, so they caught up with low-end bodies and those without motors. The lens has no motor, so you need to focus manually.

Entry level:

At this level,

Canon EOS 1100D (18-55 IS) kit costs about 3000

9 Point focus image processor DIGIC 4 12 million pixels

Canon EOS 550D (18-55 IS II) kit is about 4100 (18135 kit is 5700)

9-point focus image processor DIGIC 4 18 million pixels

Canon EOS 600D (18-55 IS II) kit is about 4300 (18135 kit is 5800)

9-point focus image processor DIGIC 4 18 million pixels

Canon EOS 650D (18-55 IS) kit is about 5000 (18135 kit is 6950)

9-point focus image processor DIGIC 5+ 18 million pixels with a flip screen< /p>

The more expensive ones have better functions, but they are all entry-level, and the performance will not be very different. Most of them are small functional differences

Nikon:

< p>Nikon D3000 SLR kit (including 18-55 VR) kit is about 2750

10-megapixel 11 focus point image processor EXPEED

Nikon D3100 SLR kit (including 18-55 VR) kit is about 3150

14 million pixels 11 focus point image processor EXPEED 2

Nikon D3200 (18-55VR) SLR kit is about 3780 (18105 sets Machine 4780)

24.16 million pixels 11 focus points Release date April 2012 Wireless performance WiFi

Nikon D5100 (18-55VR) kit is about 4150 (18105 kit is 5200)

16.2 million pixels, 11 focus points. Release date: April 2012. Image processor EXPEED 2.

The more expensive ones, the better the performance, but they are entry-level, so the performance will not be worse. It’s far away, but the pixels of the D3200 are indeed higher.

But unless you print very large pictures, you can’t tell the difference from 16 million on a computer.

If you want to get started, then I recommend the cheapest one. You won’t waste a lot of money if you change the phone in the future.

If you have a lot of money but don’t have enough money to go to higher education, then that’s arbitrary. Naturally, the more expensive the function, the better.

============================================== ========

Mid-range machine:

Canon EOS 60D (18-135 IS) kit is about 7650

The effective number of pixels is 1800 10,000 focus points, 9-point image processor DIGIC 4, rotating screen

Canon EOS 7D (including 18-135 IS) kit is about 10,600

Effective pixels: 18 million image processor DIGIC 4 +DIGIC 4 (dual processor)

Nikon D90 SLR kit (including AF-S 18-105G VR) about 5900

Number of focus points 11 points Number of effective pixels 12.3 million image processing EXPEED

Nikon D7000 (18-105 VR) kit is about 7800

39-point focusing effective pixel count 16.2 million image processor EXPEED 2

Nikon D300S The body is about 8700

51-point focusing effective pixels 12.3 million image processor EXPEED

The AF-S 18-105G VR kit lens is about 1600 when purchased alone

The performance of these models is not very different

Nikon D90 is older and has lower pixels, but it does not affect its use and is the most cost-effective

Canon EOS 7D focuses on high-speed continuous shooting, and others The performance is not outstanding

Canon EOS 60D is a relatively new and good machine, but unfortunately the plastic body always makes new users feel uncomfortable. But flipping the screen is fun.

The Nikon D300S is indeed a good machine, a bit expensive

The Nikon D7000 is the first to recommend with high cost performance, and its performance is better than the EOS 60D that is almost the same period. It has a half-grade semi-metal body and the best sense of performance. good.

You don’t have much money, so if you start with them, the entry-level price of the Nikon D90 is

If you have money and don’t have enough money for a high-end machine (if you buy a high-end machine, you need to prepare more than 18,000 for a lens), then buy Nikon D7000

========================

On the lens, let’s talk about beginner friends

For example, Nikon AF-S 18-105 3.5-5.6 VR

AF can focus automatically

AF-S has a focus motor

18 minimum focal length

105 longest focal length

3.5 maximum aperture at the minimum focal length

5.6 maximum aperture at the longest focal length

VR anti-shake

This type of headset is universal and can be used for portraits or landscapes, but don’t be too demanding as it is not expensive. He is very skilled and familiar with the equipment and can still take good photos.

It is often said that the 50 1.8 small fixed focus lens is the cheapest. Canon and Nikon have about 700. The background blur is beautiful

Since everyone is very concerned about background blur

1. Large aperture

2. Long focal length

3. Close to the subject

The background can be blurred.

If you want to experience telephoto without spending too much money, everyone has cheap ones with focal lengths of 70-300.

If you want to play well, read a book carefully - the manual of your own machine. What you have is a camera, not a mobile phone. Don't expect to be self-taught.

Read three books carefully

The manual for your machine. What you have in your hand is a camera, not a mobile phone. Don’t expect to be self-taught.
