Cameras

Where do I start if I want to invest in a good camera with manual options??
I started with the Canon Rebel--way back when one of the first models was $1500, 6 MP, and not nearly as technological as today's Rebels. That was a perfect start for me.

A full frame camera is a must, but you don't have to start there. When I switched to full-frame I saw a huge difference. So if you are thinking of doing any camera shopping you might want to look for a FX Format CMOS Sensor which means it's full frame, rather than DX Format CMOS Sensor. Full frame sensors have better image quality, and are especially awesome when it comes to high ISO performance. Full frame sensors also allow you to do more when it comes to wide-angle work.


From what I have heard the Sony Cybershots are awesome. A pro photog that I follow, MeRa Koh is sponsored by them and loves their stuff. Check out her photo tips here:
