I don’t know anything about SLR cameras, but I want to buy one recently~~~

Heh...I'm also concerned about this. I don’t know what your budget is...

I don’t know much about Nikon, because all the SLRs I saw in my school were Canon, so most of the machines recommended to me were also It's from Canon. In fact, there is not much difference. The fierce competition between the two shows that they are equally matched

There is a chemistry laboratory teacher in our school who loves photography very much. He uses EOS5D MARKII (very expensive). A quasi-professional machine...the body looks like 16,700 yuan). What he recommended to me is EOS450D or 500D. The new 550D is more expensive (the set is less than 6,000) and it is said that the new functions are a bit useless (18 million pixels and so on... I don’t think it is necessary), as mentioned above The price of these kits (body + an 18-55 EF-S lens) is in the 5,000 range... The 450D kit is less than 4,000, which is still very cost-effective. After all, they are both entry-level and there is not much difference. I don’t think it is necessary to spend half the money just to buy the latest model...

If it is higher, it will be mid-range like 50D. , a single fuselage is in the range of five to six thousand. However, it seems that the 50D is not highly praised on the Internet... In fact, the machine is still good, but it seems to be very good before the release, and the results are a bit disappointing when it comes out... and it cannot take pictures. In this category, it is recommended to check out Nikon machines.

The mid-to-high-end Canon must be the 7D, which is great for continuous shooting and good image quality. However, because I am too short of money, I don’t dare to ask too much about it. The camera body is the most annoying. As for the high-end 5D, 1D (god-like XXXX), I’ll wait until I win the lottery one day...

Another problem is that if you have a flexible budget, you have to make sure you buy this Should I buy a machine to get started and then switch to a better machine later, or should I keep using it forever? If you want to use this machine all the time, you might as well go for the mid-range machine. After all, the price is there. If the photos taken by the low-end machine are as good-looking as those of the high-end machine, then Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, etc., won’t all have to lose... .If you want to change, use a low-end camera to practice. You can consider equipping it with a good lens (such as the red circled L lens...just kidding) for future cameras. After all, the real picture quality needs to be high-end full-frame, such as 5D, 1D and so on. (If you are not sure about full frame, you can search on Baidu)

In addition, the lens for SLR photography is very, very important. Don’t ignore the lens because of the body. Photos taken with a good machine and a bad head are generally not as good as those taken with a bad machine and a good head... When it comes to money spent on photography, a large part of it is the lens. I buy one lens every ten and a half months. But it’s rare to change cameras every three days. It’s not because the camera is expensive. Many of the lenses used by hardcore photography enthusiasts are more expensive than the camera... The same camera with different lenses will have many different effects when shooting the same thing (fixed focus is loved!) , you can feel this if you try it after buying the camera or read it on the forum.

There are still some details. For example, full-frame machines such as 5d and 1d only support EF interface lenses and do not support EF-S interface. Non-full-frame machines support both interfaces, but when using an EF lens, the actual focal length will be multiplied by a multiple greater than one. For example, a lens originally 18-55 will become 27-82.5 (just an analogy, the models are different) The magnification is also different). In this way, non-full-frame machines use the EF head to take advantage of long shots, but suffer from close shots. In other words, EF-S mount lenses are specially designed for non-full-frame machines, while EF lenses are universal but more suitable for full-frame machines. There are also huge differences in lens grades. For the same parameters and grades, the film output and lens prices vary greatly (囧). If you like it very much, you often have to buy the L lens in the red circle (Canon's top lens, which is very expensive)... These involve problems with lenses when changing cameras in the future. If you plan well, you can save a lot of money. expenditure. There are also various things to pay attention to when buying a camera, such as inspection and testing. In this world...sigh...

Well...I am a beginner. Fans... I'm showing off here, and I ended up typing so many at once... If there are any mistakes, I need experts to correct them. If you really want to make up your mind, you should mainly look at the opinions of experts. You can go to photography forums or something like that.

Of course, the most important thing is your own experience. Try different models of machines. Although other people's reviews may be very professional, after all, you have to use the camera yourself, and you may not like what others say. Photographic equipment with high parameters may not necessarily make it easier to take good photos. The number of focus points advertised, the advanced metering methods... you still have to experience it yourself. at last. I wish you buy a satisfactory camera and take beautiful photos. Finally, I attach a joke, I wish you a happy photography... (The price in the joke is relatively old, please do not refer to it...)

14 days ago: I will still be studying abroad tomorrow. It was my girlfriend’s birthday and I bought a Canon 50D kit for 7800 RMB to take some commemorative photos. After I got the new camera, I went to the park to take some test shots. An old man who was taking photos of lotus flowers in the park said that the Canon's image was too rough and the Nikon was sharper. He even spoke with facts on the spot, so he regretted it.

13 days ago: I gave the Canon camera as a gift to my girlfriend. On my way home, I bought a Nikon D300s kit 16-85mm for 14800RMB. I also bought a laptop for 5400RMB, otherwise the photos would be taken out. No place to watch.

12 days ago: I found that the focal length was not long enough, so I found that the Nikon AF-S DX VR 18-200mm F3.5-5.6G IF-ED5600RMB can be used all over the world with one lens. It is comfortable, so I bought it. I went hunting for birds the same day I bought it. I happened to meet some photographers who were also taking pictures of white cranes by the river. Oh my god, they were using the Nikon AF-S 300mm F4D IF-ED lens. When I asked about the price, it was 8,000 RMB. Looking at other people’s photos, how could they have taken the photos without buying one? As for other people’s beautiful photos, they are bleeding again. I originally had a Nikon AF-S 300mm F2.8 IF-ED II, but it cost more than 30,000 yuan and I couldn't afford it.

11 days ago: I met a few movie friends two days ago, and they said they were going to shoot model portraits today. They said that 85/1.4D7000RMB was very good, and buying one to take with you would be a good harvest, so I started buying it. it. When I took it to the photo shoot, I found that it was difficult to take two pictures of the whole body of the model. Very upset.

10 days ago: My sister said that I wanted to take some photos for her to make a photo album. I thought it would be great if it was 50/1.4mm for 4000RMB, so I bought one without stopping. Needless to say, this time it was more comprehensive than yesterday. But it always feels more meaty.

9 days ago: My employer asked me to help take a picture of the production workshop. I took out all the lenses but couldn’t find a super wide angle. In order to show my leadership that I was good at photography, I bought it immediately. A 12-24mm/F4G IF-ED8200RMB.

8 days ago: Today I joined the photography association, photography group, and browsed photography websites [Photography Wuji]; [Pacific Photography]; [Popular Photography]; [Car Photography Association]; [New Photography] ; [Hummingbird Network]; [Chinese Photographer]; [Luke Donkey House]; [Oak Photography], etc., found a problem, full-frame cameras can get greater advantages in imaging. The main thing is the workshop shooting I took yesterday as an example. If Nikon D70013800RMB is equipped with 12-24mm/F4G IF-ED, eliminating the need for the 1.5 factor and the ultra-high sensitivity, everything will be solved. Through online learning, there is nothing wrong with deciding to buy a D700 full frame. So I gave the D300s set to my sister.

7 days ago: I was communicating with people from the Photographers Association and heard that D700 and 12-24; 24-70; 70-200 are the most perfect partners in the world. I already have a full-frame SLR camera, so what if I don’t have a Niutou camera? Because it was too expensive, I got a parallel import of 24-70/2.812000RMB and 70-200/2.814500RMB.

6 days ago: I bought a lot of photography books, subscribed to a lot of newspapers and periodicals for 1200RMB, read them at work and off work, studied software to process photos, and got to know some photography enthusiasts.

5 days ago: The photos taken by enthusiasts are almost all taken with fixed focus, zooming is easy, and the image quality is first-class.

It’s true that I have spent a lot of money these days, and my money is tight. It is said that the fixed focus is rarely used, so I bought two products from the sub-factory, one is a Sigma 30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM lens 3300RMB, and a Tamron SP AF The 180mm F3.5 Di LD-IF lens costs 8300RMB. You really can’t choose a fixed focus among Tokina lenses.

4 days ago: I found that the color of the photos taken with the Sigma lens was greenish, and the sharpness and saturation were quite annoying. The photos taken by the Tamron were all gray and white. Only then did I understand why enthusiasts use original fixed focus heads, which are really worth the price. So what should I do now? I can only choose the original lens. It once again defeated the Nikon AF DX Fisheye 10.5mm F2.8G ED lens priced at 5500RMB, the Nikon Ai AF 18mm F2.8D8100RMB, and the Nikon AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm F2.8G ED lens priced at 5500RMB. There is also a Nikon PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5D ED lens that I really don’t dare to buy. This is a tilt-shift lens and is very good for shooting buildings. It costs more than 20,000 yuan.

3 days ago: After buying a mid-telephoto long-range fixed focus lens, I bought the Nikon Ai AF DC 135mm F2D lens 7200MRB again, plus the 300/F4 I bought a few days ago. It is enough, like Nikon AF- I really don’t dare to buy the S 600mm F4G ED VR lens, the market price is more than 90,000.

2 days ago: I heard that the lens is prone to mold if it is not well protected and needs to be kept dry, so I bought an electronic drying box, which cost me 4,000 RMB a month’s salary. At noon, I heard that Luke Donkey House was organizing mountain climbing, camping and photography activities outdoors, so I took my camera equipment, camping equipment and other items and went out.

Yesterday: Due to participating in an event the day before, the camera was too heavy, resulting in a sprained neck and illness. It cost 250 RMB to go to the hospital for medical treatment and health massage. On the way home from the hospital, I stopped by the photography equipment store and told the merchant about my illness. As a result, I bought a Canon G114350 card camera. I originally had a Leica M8 worth more than 20,000 yuan and a Leica M9 worth more than 60,000 yuan, but I never got that much money in my wallet.

Today: My girlfriend came to my house on vacation and opened her backpack. In addition to the Canon set bag I gave her, there were 17-40/4.04800RMB; 50/1.8700RMB; 70-200 inside. /2.8L IS USM13000RMB plus some accessories and bags 2800RMB. I was stunned on the spot. She had used up all the scholarships over the years. I called my sister to come back and play with my future sister-in-law. My sister said that she was looking at a full-frame camera in the equipment store and she felt dizzy and tinnitus on the spot.

PS: Hard work pays off. In the afternoon, an editor friend of the publishing house whom I haven’t contacted for more than a year said that he would come to my house to copy some of my photos and print them into a book. It really made me happy. I asked when I left. What book did he publish? He said "Wrong Exposure and Composition" is a textbook with demonstration examples. At that time, he wanted to run over it with a tripod.

Tomorrow: Based on my current monthly payment ability of 2,000 yuan, it will take me N years to pay off the loans from friends and banks. Of course, I hope my salary will increase soon. I still have a Nikon D3X that cost 45,000 yuan and a Mamiya DM28 medium format digital camera that I just heard someone introduce to me, which costs about 110,000 yuan.

In the future: I will also promote the use of SLR cameras everywhere.

PS: A year later, I got married to my girlfriend and went to work out of town. The house at home was demolished. My 70-year-old grandma sold all the camera lenses at home to a scrap iron collection station for 50 cents per catty. There is only one Canon 50/1.8 left. The scrap collector said it is all plastic, don’t want it!
