Lid 194 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Some good photos here. Regarding the couple of posts showing photos taken on 'manual', I would make two comments. Using manual setting still requires either using the camera's in-built metering or an external light meter. My guess is the in-built. Personally I tend to use aperture or shutter priority as usually I know which I want to fix for a specific shot. Then secondly was the focus mode manual or auto for these manual shots?

lurcherchris 5 Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Went into jessops today and had a chat, they recommended either the Nikon d3200 or the canon 1200 d as a good entry level dslr. I've been looking at the Nikon d3300 on internet and looked on YouTube too, it seems to have good write ups from what I've read and the price seems sensible to me too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ponte 222 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 What about the new breed of compact cameras... Some are far far better than a lot of dslr cameras. Have a look at the Sony rx series. Yes they are expensive, but do everything a budget dslr will do.. And can be carried in a shirt pocket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
