Consider which brand of camera system
Consider which brand of camera system
- consider the lens pricing you are willing to expand to
- consider the format of the aspect ratio - whether you like 4/3 (1.33) or wider (1.5)
- know your needs of the focal range, if not just start with a kit lens, play until comfortable before considering new lens that does not cover your range.
- alternatively you can consider which brand after you have decided at which level of DSLR you want to enter, before comparing the models from different brand.
By this point, you have probably been getting serious about getting into DSLR. Unfortunately this portion cannot be covered further, and you will always get the same posting of maybe Nikon xxx model v.s. Canon xxx model, or "help me choose one", or "advice regarding DSLR" because everyone have a different need and different features may be of variable importance to them, and thus a tailor made thread will always be created there for each of us. And things change with time, so does comparisons and reviews. But Part 6 and 7, with some background knowledge of DSLR body/lens features, will play a part in proposing what you as a pre-users think you need, and getting better answers what other post-users think you will get what you want.
But what i suggest however, as stated above, is to get one of those recommended magazines listed in Part 14, see if they have a section on comparison review of all the entry levels or of all the intermediate levels, at that point of time. These magazines, does to a certain extent, covers extensively and comprehensively, of many models, illustrated with specifications and concepts, and give you the reassurance of the editor's choice. Then whatever portion you are unsure, just post again in the above fashion, but this time, you get a very much better idea. And looking back and forth different pages in a magazine, is going to be much easier than looking back and forth different reviews on different models in different threads or websites online. Our eyes and mind works together, and that is why some people still compare printed photographs to decide on what is best.
For example, Practical Photography 2007 January Issue covers an ultimate round-up section of current DSLRs, so did Photography Monthly 2007 March issue.
