When you want to buy your first SLR camera, something like the whiting that bites its tail happens. You do not know which one to choose because, precisely, you have not had the opportunity to delve into SLR photography. Precisely thanks to that first SLR camera you can get into the subject. But of course, to choose that first camera, how do you do it? Do you choose it at random? Do you ask the seller? Do you inform yourself on your own?
I remember, back in 2008, I was trying to buy my first SLR camera and every time I approached a store to ask the seller, I went out with my head like a hype. It does not matter if you make it very clear, from the beginning, that you do not have the slightest idea of SLR photography, that you do not know about benefits, that what you are looking for is a good SLR camera and point, one that allows you to get good photographs. It does not fail. As soon as you ask for advice, a vendor will usually fry you to terminology and technical jargon, will excite you by presenting the technical features of one camera and another, will explain the difference between the electronic components of one and the other. That in the best case. Pray that he does not want to type the camera that leaves him the most commission, or the one that puts more pressure on their bosses to get outside.
You feel identified? Do you find yourself in this situation?
What else give the benefits of a camera? Shouldn't the final photo be the criteria we use to choose one camera or another? After all, the machinery, features and components of the camera are nothing more than a means that, supposedly, has to make it easier for us to take that photograph we are looking for.
And if we make the decision, or at least a good part of it, based on examples of real photographs taken with the camera in question?
Last week I told you why I preferred, on a personal basis, the cheapest SLR cameras over those a little more expensive. Today I would like to leave you a few graphic examples, very visual, that demonstrate the capabilities of a few cameras that I recommend. None of them exceeds the 500 Euros price, however, the photographs you can see below are the faithful testimony of what these cameras are capable of achieving (in the hands of a good photographer of course).
