As an amateur photographer, it is more practical to buy what brand and model of camera.

If it is a general travel, family photography, video applications, a set of 550D, basically enough. (The reference price is around 5300)

1, 50mm F/ 1.8 is a very good head for shooting portraits and landscapes, and novices may not be able to use it well. I suggest you play first and then consider matching. Then you will have your own opinion, so you don't have to ask others.

2, there are still good cleaning clothes, but you don't have to choose Japanese goods;

There must be a spare battery. Wouldn't it be disappointing if the tour found beautiful scenery and the battery was dead? Add another battery. If you win, you only need 50~60 yuan, which is necessary.

Buy a tripod and take a group photo when the family goes out to travel.

In fact, the reason for recommending 550D is very simple. Compared with the case of high-end non-full-width 7D chip 500D (just like the case of D300 used for D700 D3 chip, D700 is called small D3), the performance rate of 550D is better than that of 550D, which is called small 7D.

Tripod, UV mirror and hood are always indispensable. As for the cable, polarizer, filter, flash and other accessories, it depends on what kind of photography theme you like. Photography is expensive, but it is also full of endless fun.

In addition, the lenses of the 550D kit are divided into different types.

( 18-55 + 55-250) ( 18- 135 +50 1.8) ( 18-200 + 50 1.8)

According to my own budget, 18-55 has good imaging, and 18- 135 is also practical. Three sets of sleeves are cost-effective, and 18-200 belongs to a mirror, which is general but practical.

If I were you, I would choose (18-200+501.8)18-200. Suitable for newcomers to cope with various occasions. With 50 1.8, I can focus on indoor and outdoor portraits in low light. Because of the large aperture, Jiao Wai is also beautiful.

Also recommend a red ring head.

EF 24- 105 lens can be regarded as a 5D2 sleeve, which has a certain ability in both imaging and color.

It is more suitable for people who work as a landscape director from wide angle to medium focus.

The actual focal length to be multiplied by the coefficient 1.6 at 550D is between 38.4- 168.

When the person in charge of 24- 105

24 focal length, the actual focal length is 38.4, which is close to the human focal length of 35.

35 focal length, the actual focal length is 56, which is close to the standard focal length of 50.

When the focal length is 50, the actual focal length is 80, and nearly 85 people have heads.

In addition, F4' s constant aperture is very suitable for portrait and landscape photography.

In fact, Longteng's 17-50 2. 8 focal length is more suitable for portrait. From wide-angle to medium-focal length, the coefficient of 1.6 should be multiplied on 550D, and the actual focal length is between 28 and 80, including 28 super wide-angle, 35 humanistic focal length, 50 standard focal length and 80 focal length close to 85 portrait. The aperture of 2.8 is very suitable for portrait and landscape photography.

As for the 60D, I just read it in a magazine. It's an upgraded version of 50D, a machine between 50D and 7D. Personally, I think the 60D is a mid-range SLR designed for girls. It uses a plastic body to rotate the screen and has interesting special effects settings (such as soft light effects such as axis shifting effect).

This design, from the weight to the rotating screen shooting angle of real-time view to special effects, is a mid-range SLR designed for college students or men, women and children who just graduated from the post-90 s with little budget.

Nikon's D90 is actually good (now the upgraded D7000 of D90 has come out). Because I use Canon myself and only know Canon, I was the first to promote Canon Nikon. I won't comment on Nikon's part. Who is good and who is bad has his own merits.

In addition, as a beginner in photography, I recommend you to order some books and websites about the basic knowledge of photography.

First, look at your camera manual.

If you want to shoot a good work, you must master various settings and functions of the camera, such as the pre-Hou Lian synchronization of the flash, such as continuous shooting, and how to compensate for the exposure of photometry. These instructions are very clear.

Second, recommend an introductory technical book, new york Photography Textbook.

Although a little old, it is enough for basic beginners, from the interpretation of aperture shutter to the lighting of portraits in the shed to the composition of outdoor portraits. Some techniques and composition of portrait photography, children's pet photography, still life photography, landscape photography and sports photography are summarized.

Third, choose different books according to your own preferences.

For example, if you like taking portraits, choose some books on portrait photography, and if you like taking scenery, look for books on landscape photography.

Fourth, you can buy photography magazines regularly every month.

For example, friends of photography, portrait photography, mass photography, cards and so on.

Fifth, go to some photography forums.

For example, Hummingbird Network, Shadow Network, Jiayou Online, POCO and so on.

Remember to shoot more. Photography is the art of using light. To master the perfect exposure, you must shoot more and compare more.

Look at other people's works and learn more about other people's shooting techniques.

Remember that no matter what camera you use, it is very important to choose a lens group. What camera you choose determines what fixed lens group you will use in the future, so don't choose a lens for the camera, choose a camera for the lens.

In the era of digital photography, it is very important to learn the retouching technology after PS, which can make your work stronger and save you a lot of unnecessary expenses, such as buying a good lens, such as buying a filter and so on.

If you are not sure, please ask someone else for advice. Good luck.
