Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Ended up getting a 550D. Now to learn how to use it.
As the title suggests, I'm thinking of getting a decent camera. it will mainly be used for landscape, cars, animals and some portrait stuff. Looking to spend up to 800-900 bucks. Brand/model suggestions and opinions welcome.
Well inputting my thoughts into the DSLR Side of things,
Im a student, and love film, dont get me wrong, its much more fun than DSLR but im to poor for the film itself so yeah :/ minor set back in that plan.
I own a EOS 550D with an 18 - 55mm lens and love it, its perfect for cars and relatively close shots. the major drawback is the zooming capabilities. you can however get the eos 550D Twin lens set for around what yours searching at ($800) and its fairly easy to use! Just make sure you have a bit of time at the start to get used to it, there are tons of settings, covers all bases and works well once you have the gist of it all!
Also I love that because i only just got into all this and having a DSLR i could easily take a few hundred pictures, put them on the computer, delete all the bad ones (thats was like, 198 of them ) And then just put the card back in. however with film i would have spent an arm and a leg learning alone, rather than taking pictures enjoying it.
I think if you want to go with film, but dont really know much (and provided you have the funds) get a DSLR like your thinking, learn, then once your good with that start a film setup and move into that slowly over time.
Just my opinion!
