Stu, can you recommend me a cheap entry level DSLR?
i was looking at these two: Alpha 300 and E520 but i dunno..
should i go with one of them or is there a better option(in the similar price range)? |
Out of those 2, I'd probably recommend the Sony, purely as the sensor quality is better. I don't know too much about Sony/Olympus gear though, since all my gear is Canon. Both of those cams have the advantage of having image stabilisation in the body itself, rather than in the lens, but I'd still recommend checking out some of the entry level Canon cams.
The Canon xSi/450D is still a pretty good (and cheap) buy for an entry level camera. You just have to work out what kind of lens you want to use with it. The kit lenses you get with the body are never really that good (mostly, anyway).
Edit: The Olympus cam there is also pretty fucking small. My gf has an E620 for a back-up body and I find it annoying to use, since I have big hands.
