I am a student majoring in advertising. Do I need to buy a SLR camera?

If you are a student, it is best not to buy a SLR. No matter how much money you spend, you won’t be able to fill it. The knowledge of lens selection is too great and the cost is quite a lot.

You only need to buy a better telephoto camera with comprehensive manual functions to satisfy your needs. It is recommended to buy Canon S5IS or Nikon P80, the price is between 2600-2800, which can satisfy your needs and save money. Money saves trouble.

The difference between a SLR and a telephoto lens is like the difference between an F1 racing car and a sports car. A compact camera is equivalent to an ordinary car. Sports cars and sedans are affordable to ordinary consumers. They can be driven with just oil and require little maintenance. However, F1 is used for professional competitions. Sports cars can run very fast, but they are not as good as F1, and F1 is easy to drive. Equipped with a dedicated maintenance team and specialized track-specific accessories, ordinary people cannot afford it.
