Newbie here, need camera advice

[soulsanderin]

Hi everyone, i'm a newbie in photography. i just need your advice on what camera to buy and a few photography tips. thanks in advance!

Your question is too broad. Nobody answers before you clarify the budget and what you suppose to shoot. But I guess the best way is buying the cheapest DSLR camera with a a kit lens and start shooting and learning.

You question is confusing. First tell us your budget and also tell us about your basics that for what reason you want camera >

Such an easy question, so hard to answer ...

If you just want a good general camera for just shooting anything, I still would recomment get an entry level DSLR from Canon or Nikon, with the kit lens.

If you dont buy the newest model, they are so low priced its absurd, theres no reasonable concurrence to it.

Canon's most basic entry-level DSLR camera - Canon EOS Rebel T3 12.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR with 18-55mm IS II Lens and EOS HD Movie Mode (Black)

I recommend Nikon's most basic entry-level DSLR camera - Nikon D3100 14.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom

Read that one and then shoot pictures.
Don't get caught up in trying to know everything first.

You need to tell us how much budget you have and what are you going to shoot.
You know, there are lots of cheap cameras but also some cameras are very expensive. Without a budget we can hardly give you any advice.
