This is a good camera for a beginner to advanced amateur shutterbug. You can buy this camera kit now, at less than P30,000.00 in Watson's, Henry's or Mayer's in Hidalgo. Quote Link to comment
Phrozhen.Khold Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Hi peeps! I want photography to be my hobby. To start of, am i gonna buy a professional cam first or enroll in a photography school? Some suggestions naman po. Thanks. Why do you need a pro gear when you're just starting... a professional camera doesn't make you a photographer Get an entry level camera... familiarize yourself with your cam. If you feel the need to go to a school or attend seminars then go ahead. Read, understand and master the basics. mga sir, just want to ask if this nikon d80 bundle is a good buy: nikon d8018-200mm Nikkor VR lens50mm Nikkor lens2 batts2x2GB SD Card1X1GB SD Card package price of PHP55,000 less than a year old, very fresh like brand new thanks!

Some suggestions naman po. Thanks. Of course you need at least a good prosumer/entry level camera that has both auto and manual functions and high resolution. You have to test yourself first if you have the eye for photography, and the way to do that is by experimenting. If you can take a clear shot using manual settings sans the flash, then there's a huge possibility that you both have the eyes and dexterity. I'm a hobbyist myself, and I have been using point-and-shoot cameras for experiments. I hardly use flash, except of course during snapshot opportunities, and the cameras I had so far had little manual controls and low resolution. Don't get a dSLR just yet. I suggest you get the one of the new slew of prosumers, like the Fuji s5800 and s8100i, or the Canon Powershot A590IS (which I recently procured). Though you actually need the talent and the eye for photography, you do need a very good camera to begin with, even if it's a "just" a hobby. Also, if you are serious about it, I also suggest you start with FILM. You'll "waste" some money experimenting, but if you knowing how film behaves with light, you'll have a better appreciation when you go digital. Quote Link to comment

Phrozhen.Khold Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 any views about sony H-Series cameras? or the sony brands itself? I had the H1 before switching to the Nikon D80... basically its a point-n-shoot camera. It has a few accessories but not much to go for... plus they tend to have color fringes at the edges. If you're just using it to take snapshots its ok... but if you're going serious with your photography... I don't really recommend it Quote Link to comment
