hill_bill10 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 all i can suggest really is get a DSLR, i got mine a few years ago and its been great, its only a Nikon D40 cost about £350 ish at the time, but the image quality is far better than normal digital camera's.

RobSR Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 canon can use any lens any brand , where as pentax can only use pentax lens and nikon only nikon lens n vice versawhaaat lol?! On canon's you can only use canon lenses or ones made by a 3rd party company that has the correct mount, companies like sigma/tamron etc, same with nikon etc. All lenses made by canon fit there bodies, unless you have a 1D/1ds series camera, that only use the EF mount, not EF-s mount that fits everything else..like your 400/40D etc..It all depends on what you want to shoot, as of what to get..IMO if you wanna shoot sport get a canon.. look at second had 30/40/50D's as their af system is alot better than on the 3**/4**D series, Frames per second is also higher which is good if your just getting into sport etc..its not all about the body tho..lenses make more of a big difference, so its worth investing more in that area if you wanna shoot people and portraits etc more than sport/cars etc get a nikon imo! Personally thing you get alot nicer skin tone off the cam.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
