Need a new camera...

2152 Views 17 Replies 8 Participants Last post by  Tymaca
I have noticed that some of you have such FABULOUS pictures of your doggies...even when they are in motion! So, I was wondering, what kind of camera do you use??
My motion pictures usually end up blurry or it takes the camera too long to actually snap the shot and I dont get the pic I want but rather the tail end of what I was actually trying to capture!

With Christmas coming up and a wonderful Hubby who hasnt started shopping for me yet (LOL) I figured now and here was the perfect place and time to ask for camera suggestions! ;)

If you want really great pics, you are probably going to need to get a digital SLR. I finally caved and got one myself, after always drooling over everyone else's photos. Like the ones where the subject is in focus and the background is blurry. I did a ton of research and decided on the Canon T2i. It is amazing quality and is also a HD video camera. You could go cheaper (don't have the video though) or more expensive, it all depends on your needs. This one seemed to have everything I wanted at I price I could justify. They now came out with the Canon T3i, which is just the newest model. It probably has more megapixels. Anyway, hope that helps! GL

I have a Canon t3i and I love it. VERY newbie user friendly- here is an AMAZING deal- I am a super deal shopper and didn't get close to this price when I bought mine: Sears: Online department store featuring appliances, tools, fitness equipment and more

The lens that comes with it is crap. I remember reading this when I bought the kit and thinking that I wouldn't know the difference. When I bought my first "real" lens, MAN- I could see the difference! Plus I needed a zoom lens for school events. I bought this one:
Amazon.com: Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras: Camera & Photo

This is what I want for Christmas:
Amazon.com: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens: Electronics

This is pretty much all I plan on buying for a while until I get better and feel like I need better equipment. Happy shopping!
Ha! I got the same lenses, plus one more. Glad we think alike! I wasn't see what to get!
Ordered my Canon T3i today! I cant wait to get it! Should have a few days to play with it before Christmas!!! :)
One of my friends just got this one too! I actually had a couple people get this camera (or mine 0 the t2i) after I shared my research info. :) Have fun!!!!
