forgive me if im in the wrong place with this post!
So, I'm in the market for a new camera (special thanks to santa). I really want an SDLR camera but realize they are very expensive. I want an entry level camera (prob no more than $700 for camera and basic lens).
So, plenty of options right? Well I don't know much about these cameras but I know they each excel in their own way. I really want an in-camera HDR option. The only two that I can confirm that have it are the Pentax k-x and the Sony alpha 550.
Are there any other entry level cameras out there? The reason I ask is because only about half the time are these features mentioned in item descriptions. I also like the Nikon (or is it Canon) that has emphasis on in-camera photo editing. If i could program the camera to take 3 or 4 photos automatically changing the EV each time that would be awesome. But I don't want to have to go to photoshop each time. Some automatic photo stitching would be pretty cool.
Things that aren't really that important for me are size and weight, battery life (if i can buy replacement batteries or extra battery packs), video quality. i just want an easy to use camera for now, but still enough stuff that i can learn about and enjoy later and not have to revert to photoshop (which i suck at)
thanks folks
