I am a young girl and am planning to buy a SLR. Please recommend me.

Hello friend, I am very happy to answer your question.

If you want to buy a SLR, it is recommended to choose Nikon or Canon. These two are the trump cards in the SLR world.

Separately speaking, Canon's lenses have focus motors and can automatically focus on all bodies. The mid-range 60D has a shoulder screen, which is convenient for adjusting aperture, shutter, ISO, white balance, etc. , which is quite convenient. Cameras with shoulder screens are relatively more expensive.

Nikon, the mid-range camera D90 started to have shoulder screens and body motors. As for lenses, only AF-S lenses have motors. Therefore, when low-end cameras encounter lenses without motors, they need to be manually operated. It's focused, but it can't autofocus. This is a little trouble with Nikon.

--------------------------------------------- -------------------------------

In terms of models, let’s talk about the entry-level models first.

Canon:

1100D (18-55 IS) kit is about 2899

9-point focus, DIGIC 4, 12 million pixels, pure entry-level model;

The 550D (18-55 IS II) kit is about 3999

9-point focus, DIGIC 4, 18 million pixels, the best entry-level SLR sold by Canon, has been discontinued, sold One less one;

The 600D (18-55 IS II) kit is about 4199 (strongly recommended, currently the most cost-effective)

9-point focus DIGIC 4 18 million pixels, compared to The 550D has a flip screen (the flip screen is very practical), wireless flash trigger, and creative filters;

The 650D (18-55 IS II) kit is about 4459

9-point focusing, Double crosshair in the center, full crosshair focusing around, DIGIC 5+18 million pixels, flip-up touch capacitive screen, the latest generation entry-level model, the focusing system has been fully upgraded, the performance is good, and the price is slightly expensive.

Nikon:

D3100 SLR kit (including 18-55 VR) kit is about 2950

14 million pixels and 11 focus points EXPEED 2 is also a pure entry-level product Model

D3200 (18-55VR) SLR kit is about 3399

24.16 million pixels, 11 focus points, release date: April 2012, pixels are its biggest selling point.

D5100 (18-55VR) kit about 3899

16.2 million pixels 11 focus points Release date April 2012 EXPEED 2 rotating screen good value for money.

D5200

This is a model that has just been launched. The performance has naturally improved a lot, but the price is still low, so it is not recommended to buy it at the moment.

These are also entry-level machines, and the image quality is not much different. The D3200 does have higher pixels, but unless you print large photos or posters, you cannot see the difference on the computer. The difference of 12 million photos.

So if you choose to get started, I recommend Canon 600D/650D and Nikon D5100/D5200. Upgrading the body after one or two years will not waste a lot of money.

Of course, if you have money, then it’s optional. Naturally, the more expensive models have better performance.

Let’s talk about the subject highlighting and background blurring effect that novices are very concerned about and like very much. There are three conditions for blurring:

1. The larger the aperture, the easier it is to blur; (I recommend two 50 1.8 lenses, which are very cheap and have a large aperture)

2. The longer the focal length, the easier the blurring. Easy to blur; (Canon 55-250 is optional, cheap)

3. The closer you are to the subject, the easier it is to blur. (Come closer, the model won’t hit you, ha)

If you want to play SLR well, Learn three things well:

1. The manual of the machine in your hand. What you have is a professional camera, not an iPhone. Even a child can touch it.

2. Two textbooks from the New York School of Photography. They are very classic and practical textbooks. I benefited a lot from reading them.

3. You can read the highlights of major forums on the Internet and the comments of photography enthusiasts. You will gain something.
