What does SLR mean? I googled it and the answer was “single lens reflex” meaning that what you see is what you get because a mirror is throwing the image to your eye from the lens – or something like that.
All I know is that most professional photographers use SLR cameras and people on FLICKR are always throwing around SLR like Paris Hilton throws around words like Prada and Hermes.
So there is this relatively inexpensive SLR camera. The Canon EOS Rebel for 549.00. I’d like something to help me break into the photography market. I mean, I’ve got photoshop cs3 now and I can take a few classes on photography and photoshop and boom, I’m a wedding photographer.
So if you have any ideas on which cameras are better than the Canon 8.1 Megapixel rebel holla back…
No info to help you out, but if you get a new camera I promise to Oooohhhh and Aaaaahhhhh over it as if I know just how cool it is.
I have a 45 megapixal camara with a 100x zoom with 50x digital zoom. yea…i’d say that it’s awesome! almost too good.
I think you’ve got a typo. Paris Hilton throws around things like HERPES.
Totally different than Hermes.
Okay, seriously. My advice: get a camera that allows manual focus and that you can use different lens attachments with (macro, panoramic, super zoom, all the technical terms like that).
OOOhhh. And Cody’s right – you need a good megapixel, especially if you’re planning on shooting weddings with it. Brides like to blow photos up REALLY BIG. So I wouldn’t get anything with less than 8.0 AT THE VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY LEAST. More than that is better, though.
And $549 for the Rebel? That must be for the body only. I’ve never seen a Rebel that inexpensive.
Great camera, I have that exact one.
But to make it get a fast lense, and something really bright. call me before you purchase, the place that I got mine from has them cheaper.
