Ok, so after a few years of Freelance videography, I've decided to dive into the world of Standard photography. Being totally new to this (Other than my Fujifilm 3 Mp, slow as honey running down a frozen tree digital camera) I have no idea what I want to buy.
So I figured I'd give this a shot. After reading a bunch of posts here, it looks like everyone here is helpful, knowledgable, and active on the forums.
So, here's what I need. I've decided I want an SLR Camera (After some helpful people on Craigslist)
I've looked at a few Canons and Nikons that I like, but they're missing a feature here and there. So I've compiled a "Must Have" list for my camera.
My intentions are mostly for Online Posting, but I may print a few out. I'm handy with Photoshop and can slim photos down if I need to.
At least 8 Mp.
On-board flash
Video Capability (MUST have as I'm selling my video camera to fund this camera. I still want to be able to shoot "home movies")
And the list of "Would like to haves"
Interchangable lenses
Rechargable Battery
So.. Now the "funny" part. My budget is $700 Max. I've looked on E-Bay and Craigslist, and don't like the look of a lot of the kits I see. They come with a bunch of crap I don't think I'll use/need.
So, any suggestions on rigs to look into?
Thanks for any/all help! I look forward to frequenting these forums.
