I'm looking for a good starter dslr that won't destroy my bank account. Max is 600 with little room but I would like to spend less. If the difference between the $300 and $600 camera are Minimal I'm going to go with the 300 haha.
What I'm NOT looking for.
Size and weight aren't much of a factor, within reason obviously. Nothing 10 lbs and the size of a shoe box XD
The screen is less important. I care more about the actual picture quality when on the computer and ultimately printed if I get them printed.
Asthetics in general don't matter.
I care more about factors that can't be fixed easily by editing than things that minor editing can easily fix.
Bells and whistles that are cool, but just jack up the price and you don't really need
What I am looking for
The camera that has the best value. Obviously the 600 dollar camera will be better than the 300 dollar one, but is it really twice as good?
Interchangeable lenses is a must.
Mirrorles cameras are fine (i know I said dslr, but. Sorry XD)
interchangeable lenses is a must
Big emphasis Final product image quality
A camera I can grow with. Something that I won't outgrow in a year even if that.ears the camera is more complex and will take longer to learn.
thank you for your help! I have looked at nikon, sony, and canon so far. Just want to get experienced photographers advice with money as a factor which it doesn't seem to be on some of the "top 10" lists out there.
