| | | Posted by JennyUE Okay so I have looked at like 10 pages on this thing, and you guys are speaking a whole other language. Really the only experience I have with cameras, are the $200 little digital ones you can buy. I know 90% nothing about cameras. I know how to "point and shoot", download pictures, and charge the battery. That's pretty much it. I understand the point of pixels, frame rates, and photo quality. Before, I used my camera more for documentation, and less to take some cool pictures. Looking at everyone else photos, I definitely feel like my photo quality can improve with an investment in a better camera (and also because I dropped mine in the cat water bowl and rice didn't save it).. Fortunately the SD card wasn't even in the camera, so that is completely undamaged. Onto my question: Can you just tell me what to buy, or explain stuff to me like I'm 5? Something that is easy for Urbex, small, usable with one hand if necessary, rechargeable battery, and probably in the $500-600 range. And has a tripod I can purchase. I'm guessing the Canon Rebel series will probably fit my needs (I'm researching them a little bit now), but I have no idea what I'm getting into.
| If you haven't bought a camera yet, go to bestbuy.com and buy a nikon d7000 with kit lens for $629. A D80 with an old kit lens would be far inferior.

| | | Posted by Shawn W. That doesn't leave any room in her budget for a tripod, and I wouldn't call the D80 "far inferior".

| | | Posted by Shawn W. I'm not sure what you're trying to prove with that comparison, and it doesn't negate the fact that it'll still put her over-budget.
| I am pointing out the fact that the D7000 is a $1400 setup that is on sale for 629$ and that D80 is an outdated piece of junk. I'm sorry if that offends you. For a 100 or 2 more you can get a semi pro level camera, almost double the megapixal, more than double the high iso noise capability, better battery life, better lens with ED glass and longer reach, More dynamic range, weather sealed, dual card slots, 4 times the amount of focus points and 9 times the amount of cross type points. Magnesium body and a new 5 year warranty...Why on earth would you buy a camera that is almost 10 years old over a new in the box d7000? It makes no sense. So you up your budget slightly to still be able to grab a $100 Manfrotto tripod. Big whoop, it's worth it.

Half of that is irrelevant, as most of what she's probably going to shoot are low ISO long, wide-angled exposures. Furthermore, the D7000, while higher end than the 3000 and 5000 series, is NOT semipro, and sits below the D300 and D300s, which are.
