: Ok, I have had some experience taking photos, primarily with point-and-shoot models but some with a Minolta 35mm SLR. My delemma is this: I am serious about photography and am considering persuing it as either a career or side job. This will be my first camera, and I need some help deciding. The Canon EOS Rebel 2000 looks great, but I have also been told to check into the Nikon N60, and N70. I can get a full, new Rebel 2000 kit for 399.00. Should I go with this camera, and then use the manual options as I learn about them? Please, no "brand loyalty" or anything, I really need help. Thank you for your time and suggestions.
If you really are considering to pursue photography or a
career, I think the camera's you are considering aren't
'professional' enough.
As a pro you'll need the options faster AF, motodrive and flash
synchspeed offer.
I think you should better consider a Canon A2 (I hope I get the
model right, I'm not a Canon user) Nikon F90X or Minolta 8000si,
or if you have the money a EOS3, F100 or Minolta 9.
If you want to remain in the model range you are presently
considering, go for the Canon, the lower range Nikon models
aren't worth considering.
