Hi everyone,
I hope this forum can help me, as I saw so many great pictures here!
I will be buying a new camera in the coming weeks and I don't want to mess up. My goals are:
-to be able to take excellent pictures of my fish
-to be able to take good pictures of birds in flight
-to make good quality videos
-a good zoom would be appreciated
I know zilch when it comes to cameras, I've only had point and shoot types (nikon coolpix in the 600$ range, which was doing a good job 6 years ago, but not satisfying anymore). I don't want to become an expert and don't have access to photos classes.
My budget is in the 700-1000$ range, not a penny higher. The reflex cameras have been suggested to me, especially the canon rebel T2i and the nikon D3000 or D3100. Apparently some "hybrids" cameras are good, namely the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2K. What do you think? Would I have to take months studying before being in control of these machines? Would I need to buy extra lenses?
Thanks!
