I want to get into this I just only have 175 you can go under as much as you want just I need a good one with video and picture in a kinda high quality.
>>2721152
Your cell phone.
>>2721153
Mine is shit
Save up some more and get a 550d / eos m. For 175.. Thats D40 region, isnt it? There is no video though.
>>2721161
OP-Okay it doesn't have to be super high quality just like med low to high mid
>>2721152
Canon EOS M
>>2721361
OP said under $175.
Captcha: 175
>>2721371
you can find them under 175, that is why i posted it.
Sorry to hijack the thread, but I'm someone who is literally a retard when it comes to camera, but I wanna get something cheap to shoot for fun.
What's something I can get for around 250 - 300?
I'm willing to go used.
>>2721438
Kinda helps if we know what type of camera you'd like (slr, mirrorless, compact, bridge/zoom, etc) and what you'll end up taking pictures of (portraits, sports, parties, street, etc), what features are important (tilt screen, viewfinder, video, etc).
You wouldn't ask for "best car under $2k" without giving any other useful information.
> someone who is literally a retard when it comes to camera
Also retarded when it comes to askng for advice.
>>2721152
Same to you OP.
>I need a good one with video and picture in a kinda high quality
AKA, "a car that drives well"
>>2721152
photographer of this photo?
>>2721442
Maybe a DSLR? Or a mirrorless. I don't really know the difference. I want to shoot landscapes and macro shots.
>>2721444
The difference is this. A DSLR is a Digital Single Lens Reflex camera. Reflex means it has a mirror that reflects what the lens sees into a viewfinder, and that mirror flips out of the way when you take a photo. A mirrorless camera does not have this mirror, meaning the physical size of the camera can be a lot smaller, however you don't get a true optical viewfinder. Someone else can probably explain it better than that but that's the essence
>>2721442
Not OP or the other anon but I'm in a same position, I want it for simple street photography, just to capture random events also I don't want it to be as big as a DSLR, a point and shoot camera.
>>2721152
Buy a used Epl-1
>>2721448
Ricoh GR, baby. Great camera
>>2721469

It's time to stop posting
>>2721471
Its 16mp? I thought it was 12mp. lel
Still, the lack of viewfinder makes it cumbersome to use.
Having to hold up a stupid screen 30cm in front of your stupid squinty face instead of just looking trough a viewfinder and focusing on framing.
Might as well be using a phone
Infact, a phone is actually a better idea than most point and shoots.
What are the meme body and meme lens ivere here?
Like for headphones, you have the m50. That's a meme headphone.
Basically, what are those 'bang for buck that everyone suggests' lens and body?

Go back and look at what he wants it for. It'll be just fine. And it's a lot like using a phone, with a way better lens, and a way better sensor.

I got a used 50D in perfect conditions for 320 euros.
In my opinion, if you dont have a lot of money, invest on used stuff. Just watch out for scams.
But, remember, is just my personal opinion.
>>2721626
Is a 550d a good camera? I think I can get it for pretty cheap here, maybe around 250 - 300, But that's the body only.
What's a good, all-purpose entry level lens?
>>2721628
I got a 50D not a 550D for 320 euros.
But i have also a 600D, i bought it brand new when i started to do photography in a serious way. 600D is a good camera to start, in my opinion. So, yeah a 550D will be cool, too.
Im sure you can find a 550D for less than 300$, maybe with 18-55 lens kit
>>2721631
Erm.. Are the lens more important than the body, or do they play an equally important role?
I plan to buy the body and lens separately, since most people sell the 550d body only. What's a good inexpensive lens that is the jack of all trades, master of none?
Or are lenses much like guitar pickups, whereas the body, in this case, the guitar body doesn't really make a difference?
>>2721635
In my personal opinion, it's better having a good lens than an expensive body. Remember also that full frames cant support ef-s lens. So if you find like a 1D mark ii for 200$, remember that it will use only EF lenses. And these lenses are very expensive.
So, first you have to know what kind of photos you want to take, and then we can suggest you a cheap but good lens
>>2721638
I want to take landscapes and macro pictures. Stuff like this.

mmmh Sigma 18-200? pretty useful for every situation
>>2721635
>Are the lens more important than the body, or do they play an equally important role?
The lens plays a much more important role. If the body is DRAMATICALLY better, it can be worth it to choose body over lens, but that is not the case in this instance. Focus on getting a body that can do what you need it to do, without getting distracted by marketing, and then get the best lenses you can afford.
>>2721643
Any normal focal length lens will be able to capture images like that. Even middle/low quality ones. The kit lens that comes with the cameras is very inexpensive, and provides plenty of quality for that.

The kit lens that comes with the camera will handle this just fine as well.
>>2721650
Okay I guess. Do you think a entry level DSLR with 'stock' lens, whatever you guys call it would outperform a iPhone/smartphone camera?
Recently I have been taking more pictures then usual with my note 4, and I notice that the quality really leave much to be desired.. The pictures aren't sharp, the colors are either too saturated or dull.
>>2721655
It absolutely CAN outperform an iPhone. Whether it WILL or not is up to how you use it, but it shouldn't be very difficult at all, and a few cursory looks at the camera manual when you first pick it up is enough to get you there.
>>2721656
That sounds good to me.. I will go around looking at used forums to see if I can get a good deal.
>>2721438
brand new SL1 with the kit lens (the new kit lens; not the old shit one) is $300 on their website. literally wont find a better price/value ratio for an interchangeable lens system for new. its imo the best starter camera despite the canon hate here
(yes I am a canon employee)
I got a D80 used for €130, I'm new to photography so it does all I need it to do

Second hand dslrs
I know next to nothing about cameras other than how to shoot them, somewhat
I am looking for a DSLR that has full manual settings and can perhaps record in 1080p 60 fps
Budget is $500 including kit lens
Nikon FM2
At that range you get old DSLRs with no video or first generations mirrorless like Sony alpha, eBay is your friend.
>>2723792
>under 175
bought a Pentax k200 for 80€ with shipping 2 years ago.
CCD-SENSOR-film-aesthetics, weather sealed, no video, no high ISO.
