A lot of my friends simply put their DSLR to Program mode and shoot. And when asked why don’t you use other modes to shoot the reply was the photos taken in other modes were not sharp or that the exposure were awful. And after further probing, they do not understand the correct operation or under what circumstances should they use the Aperture Priority mode or Shutter Priority mode.
So now I have decided to invest in a DSLR, but there’s just so many brand so which brand should I choose?
This question has been around for a long time since the beginning of photography. I have only used Nikon and Canon DSLRs. I have played with a few others like Sony, Samsung, Fujifilm, etc.
I stick with Nikon. I have never been disappointed so far and I am still very very very happy with my now obsolete Nikon D700 (now superseded replaced by the new D800 but not replaced!).
If you have just decided to join in the photographer’s club, well it is much easier now with digital. You don’t have to worry about having the wrong speed film in your body when going indoor or having the wrong temperature for the wrong lighting. Even the ‘prosumer’ cameras can take breath-taking pictures!
My first digital camera was actually a prosumer Fujifilm FinPix 4900. You can read its review here at dpreview.DSLR or Compact Prosumer?
I paid SGD$1,400 for it at Harvey Norman, only to find out that you can buy it for less than SGD$1,000! What a ripped off!
