Well, I'm looking to buying a camera to do some decent photography on, and it is a big market and hard to figure out what is best for the money and what I'm looking for. I'll probably end up with $800 in funds toward buying something, my funds are slowly decreasing so I'm thinking I better find something sooner or later before I have to downgrade
. I might be able to get up to $1000 towards it if I'm lucky and can work for some extra. So I'm not looking for a top of the line camera obviously, but just something I can use all around as a decent camera. I'm planning on a trip to Europe sometime in the fall, and would like to be able to take a lot of pictures of everything I see. So something good with landscapes and architecture. I'd like to be able to take close focused pictures too (if that makes sense). So I'm pretty crap with understanding most of this stuff, but I know there is a big community here who can hopefully help.
I've been looking at cannons the most so far, but I don't know the field that well overall. Or if I should find other types of lenses as well before the trip. How many megapixels is sufficient, shutter speed, if using them for video is ever worth it over getting a cheaper video camera. Well there are a lot of things.
So overall, I guess what are some good cameras I can get within my price range (which is in usd so that might be a little difficult). Hopefully I gave enough information and hopefully someone could give some suggestions
