What are the Best Camera Brand to Use?

[j.o.s.h.1408]

Oh dear. Starting out with a full frame digital camera...I would say that is really, really poor advice. Better advice might be, invest a relatively small amount on a C&G at your local night school, before you start spending relatively large amounts on camera equipment you don't know how to use.

As I was alluding to within my direct questions, which you chose to ignore. The figures and much of the willy waiving which surrounds them, are meaningless without some basic grasp of photography. To obtain that grasp of the subject, there are no shortcuts in my opinion. You have to get out and take photos, a lot of different photos, print a lot of photos, experiment a lot and get comfortable exercising the Manual mode. Once you have done all that, possibly read a few books on the theory, art and history along the way too. It stands a chance you will have formed your own opinions, of both your own priorities and the usefulness of camera reviews. You will know why you want particularly, a Nikon, Canon, Sony, Olympus, Fuji, whatever and you won't be asking why Nikon or Canon here.

This is bollox mate.

People can start from whatever camera they wish, be it a 1100d or a 1dx. They can can still learn the art of photography regardless of what body or make they use.

you have lost the plot and you are up against many other posters here.

OK, I have just fully reviewed the thread, and seeing that the OP has not come back (and in fact has not posted since their first flurry of 4 posts on 29 June), that we seem to be going round in circles (as per usual with this particular argument), and that it is starting to get a bit fractious - I am closing the thread.

We will be keeping a close eye on similar threads to make sure the same does not happen.

be nice kiddies

Ta very much.
