I have been thinking to get a camera, the one that I can use to take good photos. I know I have a digital camera already but it isn't functioning ideally, and the batteries go flat very quickly. Not only that, practically I can only use three modes: PLAY, VIDEO, PHOTO (the basic photo-taking mode). And my digicam is supposed to have more than ten different modes!! I know how to use these modes, but the problem is everytime I try to use them, they fail me, or should I say the batteries??
Of course, I am also aware that I'm not a pro photographer and I shouldn't spend too much hard-earned money on something I don't know how to utilise fully. That's just a question for the time yet to come. So my question for people out there NOW is:
What camera should I buy if I want to be a serious photographer at a beginner's level?
Some said canon, some said nikon......I did browse the websites and shoot, I'm lost in the information. So if you think you have some worthy yet easy-to-understand piece of advice, you're more than welcome to drop me a line or two. I'm so eager. Much appreciated!
P.S. Had a talk with yeowza and he recommended Nikon D80/Canon 350D. Suitable for amateurs like myself. Could go for the lower ones if it's not within my budget. Check out David Yeow's link. He's one talented photographer. No, he has never taken any photography classes in his life.
