Buying Your First Digital SLR

When people attend our workshops the first thing they want to know is what gear is the best and what to buy. This may sound strange but i personal think you could go into a camera shop now close your eyes -point at the wall of cameras and pick any camera and it would be good. Technology has made 'so called amateur cameras' as good as most professional cameras. Could a photograph a wedding with a budget SLR?? Yes.

Example Canon 350 D = £250

                 Canon 50mm 1.8 = £75

                 Canon 75-300 = £80

                 Canon 28mm 2.8 = £90

                 Total £495.00

The canon 350D is an 8 megapixel camera that is useable upto ISO 800. The canon 50mm 1.8 is a great lens on the cropped sensor 350D and is very sharp at f2. The 75-300 i used for years and is a brilliant lens. The 28mm 2.8 i still use today as it has very little distortion and is easy to use. You do not have to spend a fortune to produce great work.
