The right DSLR for you depends on a lot of things. It could be a Nikon D3300, or a Hasselblad H5D-200MS for all we know, depending on your budget and goals with the camera. What are you looking to achieve? Looks like you're very interested in things with a lot of color depth, so I'd say a Nikon or Sony over a Canon (I love my Canon, but dynamic range isn't its strong point). What's your level of understanding in terms of camera equipment? What's your budget? If you're on a tight budget, I'd say go to a Nikon D3100 or 3200, or seek out a Sony A35/A55. If you're on a bigger budget, well, sky's the limit here.

One thing that you have to realize that, regardless of what "camera" you eventually decide to buy, you are not really buying a "camera", but you are buying into a system. For example, if you decide to buy a Canon DSLR, then you are committing to buying not only the camera, but also Canon lenses, Canon flashes, etc. Having said that, there are third party products made by companies like Sigma and Tamron that also make lenses and there are third party flashes like Metz that will also work with Canon equipment. You can make a similar statement for Nikon, Sony, Olympus, etc. Nevertheless, if you go with one of the major companies, then you are committing to their line of related products. Something to consider when making your choice.

AS has been noted, however, before anyone can give you some definite advice, we would have to know the kind of budget you have at your disposal - how much money are you willing to spend, or can afford to spend on this initial camera and lens purchase?

It would help if you could state your budget

CaptainNapalm · Apr 19, 2014

Start with Nikon D3100 and 18-55 kit lens and take if from there.

Or get Canon 3T or 3Ti, K-Mart still have them brand new for about $400.

Thank you very much for you free time and help, but I must say that is my budget is much smaller than you think It's some like 160 euros or around 220$, because that I was think to buy used camera, of course with lens...I was read much about photography and equipment, and I'm not sure that I know so much but I try to learn more every day...well my friend is bought new Nikon D5100, and I use it to capture some pictures and for explore options in menu, so how you can see I'm just enthusiast in this job, and I know that is so so small budget to start with dSLR, but I don't want to buy prosumer camera...so if you can help me in this, please help and if you think that is smarter to buy prosumer tell me, or any suggestion please tell me or contact with private message aaaand...I prefer Nikon (maybe is Nikon 3100, used of course, good choise for me) but it doesn't matter (sorry for my bad english, I hope that you are will understand me )

You do have a creative eye for a beginner. However I'll suggest you do some reading on basic photographic techniques or join a basic photography class.

minicoop1985 · Apr 29, 2014

There's some really good stuff in there. However, I suggest smaller groups of similar photos so people like Mr. TL;DR (I'm apparently related to him) can take a moment and tell you which one is being discussed with a little more ease. Now, your budget being what it is... I'd say... check out what you can find used. Do your research on lenses (not what you want now, what you want in the future) and buy a used kit that uses that lens mount-basically whatever you can get for a good deal, the newer the better, of course, then upgrade as you go.
