Alright!
Since I joined here I've been gathering some information about price, performance and functions...
I have a low budget but I really want to start off on the right foot...
I've got 2 deals right now and I need your help because both of them are quite interesting...
The Olympus Evolt 410 10MP DSLR Camera With 14-42mm & 40-150mm Lens Kit (Price and lenses seems good)
380$+tx
Or
The Canon XS 10.1MP DSLR With 18-55mm IS Lens, Case & 6" Tripod.
450$+tx (Stabilized lens and case is good)
I don't really need a tripod...my mom has an old one that she wouldn't mind me taking
I do have an important question though...if you forget about the camera themselves. The lens that comes with the canon is stabilized if I'm right and I am guessing the lenses that come with the Olympus are not.
Does it make that much difference?
I like the price on the Olympus and, with my unexperienced eye, think the features are pretty much similar. I also like the 40mm-150mm zoom lens since I will be taking lots of landscape pictures.
What would you choose considering that price is really an issue here, I wanna buy new and I'll be taking Macro and Tele photos the most.
I'm also new to photography and I usually upgrade my hardware quite frequently (I don't like having "old" stuff hehe)...
Thanks a lot for quick replies! Especially if you have experience with the cameras mentioned above.:thumbup: :mrgreen:
