What would be a good camera to buy?

Asked by lilmissthing17 7 months ago, 9 answers.

I need to buy a camera to start putting together a photography portfolio. I have a kodak c613 and it is a good camera in general, but it doesnt give me the quality im looking for to have my photography taken seriously. what would be a good (yet affordable, as in $400 or less) camera to get?

If you are interested in serious photography consider a digital SLR. Something along the lines of a Canon digital Rebel or a Nikon D40. With a budget of $400 you will only be able to get a body and perhaps a cheap lens but the advantages of a SLR camera will still be there and as you get more funds you can buy more lenses.

Sony or Panasonic for movies/motion photography, Canon and Nikon are reputed to be the best for still photography and I can't say I disagree. Although you won't be able to get the whizz-bang features, you will have the basics and more imprtantly, the quality you are after. SLR if you can.
