I am a freshman and want to buy a SLR. Journalism department, study! What kind of machine is suitable for use? I saw Pentax k7 recently.

The focus is slow and the feeling is not high.

Compared with cameras of the same price, the shutter speed is faster: other cameras can only reach 1/4000? K7 can reach 1/8000. Admittedly, Huang Jiacheng said that the backboard is plastic, but the K7 is indeed a metal fuselage. Sony's A770 seems to have the same design, K7 is to put a piece of plastic on the metal body, and D7000 is to put a piece of metal on the metal plastic. Moreover, the hummingbird and the old bird in Wuji Forum compare K7 and D300S together, because the old bird focuses on the hand, and the noise reduction depends on the tripod and the later stage. It can be said that the fuselage of K7 is the most affordable in the same price range.

You are a journalism major, and your future job is a reporter, not a photographer! Although I like Pentax brand very much, and I'm also using K7, to be honest, I've never seen a reporter use Pentax ... almost all of them are white cannons (Canon). Future units are also likely to be rationed by Canon. So I still think it's better for you to buy Canon. Although Canon is very straight, its picture is light and its appearance is ugly. . . But after all, he is the guy who wants to eat in the future. . . It's better to get familiar with it early, because Canon's shutter and dial settings are very different from other cameras. Of course, there are many Nikon, but journalists use Canon more, so it is Canon.

Consider buying a 50D, mid-range machine. There is not much difference between the operation and the high-end machine. There is no shoulder screen and two wheels in the low-grade machine, and the operating habits are slightly different from those in the high-end machine. High-end, 60D has a rotating screen. Although it is a good thing, it is not available on professional machines, and it is much more expensive. The higher 7D is good, but the price seems to be much more expensive than the K7. I wonder if your budget is enough. . .

PS, although you won't rule out Nikon in the future, it's unlikely. So you can borrow your classmates' play.
