Some rectangular 110 camera that I had as a teenager.
My first digital camera was this bad boy that my mother bought me in 2002. I used it until 2007 when my father bought me this camera for my birthday and I was quite content with it. But in 2009 I took it to an airshow and I realized how much I really enjoyed photography and how much the camera's limitations held me back (no Raw and annoying shutter-lag being the main things).
I saved up some money and bought myself this camera, which I recently upgraded with this one that my father sent me as an early Christmas present.
That was probably more than you wanted to know. :)
This is not like the old days when 3 MP digital cameras were all anybody could get and it was a real hit and miss as to what you would get. Now most all of the cameras are so good that there is not much difference in the quality. The digital SLR types will be better because you can use different lenses. But I seriously ask yourself what you want to use your camera for and get a < $100 USD camera off of woot.com. You will fill a lot less bad breaking it than a $600 SLR digital. But if you must (i.g. professional work) it's hard to go wrong with a Canon. And you would have some money to buy extra lenses.
Of course, you can read reviews here and here. Some guy blew up some 5 Meg photos and some 10 Meg photos a couple of years back and stuck them on a subway and nobody could tell the difference (maybe somebody has a link for that). Here is a similar discussion. The fact is it's hard to go wrong with many of the cameras today. If it was me I'd look at warranty coverage and service and pick which one had the best. It's amazing the cameras we have today. So in the end, it kind of depends on the work you are doing. BTW, this is just my opinion, I'm not stating it as fact.
No, just my Canon Rebel Xsi.
Where in the HELL did you get a 700 dollar figure from?! I spent 450 on my camera and pirated a copy of photoshop.
FOR INSTANCE: This DSLR is only 500 BRAND FUCKING NEW on Amazon, and that's with ten seconds of searching, and not even checking local craigslist posting or ebay auctions. Hell, Amazon even has it listed for 300 used.
And while the camera isn't strictly necessary, don't even fucking pretend that the value in having it isn't apparent, since the only reason we're bickering here is because of the PHOTOS OF SHELTER ANIMALS THAT INCREASED ADOPTION RATES. I would think that a moderate expenditure on a camera to greatly increase adoption rates is a pretty damned good investment.
As far as changing my argument, it's been the same the entire time, and that argument is that it's not that fucking expensive. The example I used of taking months to purchase a camera was a pretty extreme example of what one (1) broke college student can do with even a tiny amount of budgeting skill. I would assume that a group of adults in charge of taking care of and adopting out at-risk animals would have their shit together enough to budget for a fucking camera.
Hell, even if they did decide to save for 3 months to get the camera + software legally, assuming it costs 600 dollars total, it would take 200 dollars a month extra to get the camera. Assuming 3 thirty-day months, that's a whopping SIX DOLLARS AND SIXTY SIX(ish) CENTS A DAY. I've seen donation jars at shitty gas stations pull in more than that. All they'd have to do is put a jar at the front counter and a sign next to it explaining that they're raising money for a camera to get more animals into good homes. They'd probably have the money before the 3 months was up from that alone, not to mention the fact that almost no organization that stays afloat for any period of time runs such a shitty budget that the odd 500 dollar expenditure from time to time is gonna put them under. I've worked at animal shelters before, they're better run than that.
So where, in this wall of text, am I being dense? And where are you getting "highly expensive" from a $500 (MAXIMUM) purchase?
This one? I've been wanting to get a digital SLR for awhile now.
Thanks! I have a Canon Rebel XSi and really like it (obviously blows any camera phone I've had away). It really is awesome the kind of stuff you can do nowadays with photography.. Most of the time I really just try and strive to model in a photo what can really be seen to the human eye but it's next to impossible. You just really have to be there..
Currently I have something like this and a bag. Model is too old to shoot video and having issues.
