Digital Camera-er's Please Help.(:?

So, I like to walk around my neighborhood, and I like taking pictures. I am planning to be a photographer in a couple of years, and I want a camera that is good with landscape. I also do like taking pictures of family, friends, and myself[[sometimes, I take alot of myself]] So if you could reccomend a camera that would be good for this. Thank you so muchh![:

may i ask for your budget ?
you have several different ways to go with .
full automatic , manual , combined .
if you like some thing that will be good for a longer time use and is divert i would have go with Canon Rebel they are friendly enough and give you the freedom to experiment and try new ways to get the perfect shot .
if this is a bit too expensive or too complex to use try one of Sony cameras either way you go you will have the tools to create your art the only limitation in digital photography is your own imagination .

good luck

You want a DLSR because it has the larger sensor and that will produce higher quality images and a DSLR allows for changing lenses and that can be very valuable.

There are a number of good brands so don't be sold on the idea one brand is better than another. I would keep your costs down. I would get a DSLR with a short zoom (like a 18-55mm) to start. No reason to spend more than $425 to $550. Either a 10MP or 12MP will do just fine.

Below, I listed some links where you can look up reviews and see what camera works best for you. The first link listed below is to a web page that lists the 5 DSLR cameras I am recommending. This list will let you compare features and specs, also it has link to reviews to the 5 cameras, the reviews includes sample images from the cameras. Also I included some links to some dealers so that you can try and get the best price. Some dealers have some nice extras, free shipping is very common, and sometimes they are offering a free memory card and/or camera bag. Sometimes you have to click in the "add to cart" button to see the actual price.

Here are some models that I think are well worth researching:

Nikon D3000 10MP DSLR Digital Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens - $490
Nikon D5000 12MP DSLR Digital Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens - $696

Canon EOS Rebel XS 10MP DSLR Camera Kit with 18-55mm IS Lens - $449
Canon EOS Rebel XSi 12MP DSLR Camera Kit with 18-55mm IS Lens - $565

Pentax K-x 12MP DSLR with 18-55mm Zoom (has HD Video also) - $550

Hope this helps. Pick a price range, some features you know you want, and even consider which camera feels good in your hand as a factor. Ask if yourself what you need of the camera, like good high ISO ability which is important in low light, do you want the camera to be capable of doing video, and other features to consider.

Plenty of great cameras, get one you like and start learning the principles of photography and you will be on your way to making some great images. If you have any questions and if you think I can be of help then please do contact me.

Hope this helps. Good luck.
