[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 825025, member: 53455"] That sort of question is a bit like, [I]What is the best brand of pen to write a novel?[/I] :unsure::LOL: The good news is, you don’t have to find the ideal camera the first time you pick one. Most likely, your first camera won’t be the ideal one, and when you find that ideal one, if you ever do, it will very likely be outperformed and outfeatured within the following 6 months... Because, you see, the even better news is, It’s not really about the [U]camera[/U], it’s about the [U]lenses[/U] —just like high fidelity music is about the speakers and not about the flashy amplifiers with lots of buttons and dials. So, now that you realize there really is no true answer to your question (or rather, that there are about as many answers as people you ask it), it would make things a little easier if you told what you intend to shoot, as Bill said above. If, as I suspect, your answer is, [I]Well... Mmmm... Now that you ask it... That is, I’m not entirely sure... Family and pets, for sure... And just about anything else, probably...[/I] then you will, like everybody else, begin with an entry-level camera and a trans-standard zoom, and that is fine. Finally, there is the question of budget: how much do you want to spend on your initial investment? That will also help us give you better advice. [/QUOTE]
