Why Buy a DSLR Camera

If you've ever wanted to mess around with photography (and I don't mean with a disposable camera) then this could be the right time to do so.
These days DSLR cameras are more affordable than they use to be.
There was a time when you had to come out of pocket thousands of dollars just for a simple entry level camera and that's not including the lens.
These days anyone can shoot amazing pictures and or video with a basic entry DSLR camera and a decent lens.
In fact, if you position your shots correctly (which isn't extremely difficult) your shots (or video) could compete with those who use more expensive setups, it's not about what cam and lens you have it's more about how you use them.
I've seen professional photographers work magic with cheap point and shot cameras and I've seen novice shoot crap quality with the best cameras money can buy.
Entry level digital SLR were made with the beginner in mind, keeping the navigation simple and the bells and whistles easier to obtain.
A Few Things To Keep In Mind When shopping for a DSLR there will be a few things you'll want to keep in mind such as the brand of the cam as well as the weight.
If you are new to DSLR cameras you'll notice a change in weight from the cheaper point and shoot cameras that most people use.
It's important to choose a DSLR that isn't too heavy because you will be the one carrying it around so you might as well pick something that is going to be comfortable.
I've found that if the camera is too heavy it tends rarely get use if used at all.
It becomes a debate "Oh maybe I should bring the camera and take some good pictures..
..
no no I don't want to lug it around all day" So make sure the camera feels good.
Also, make you you go with a trusted brand.
I tend to stick with Canon.
Other trusted brands are Nikon, Sigma and Sony.
There are others out but these are the 3 top brands that came to mind that I trust.
So what Entry Level Digital SLR Should You Get? I'd have to say you Canon T2i or T3i, right now these are the best bang for the buck and very versatile with both video production and photography.
Most of the time you can find these cameras with free lens kit.
Lastly, make sure you get some decent photo editing software.
You don't have to invest in Photoshop as it's too expensive and there are free alternatives out there.
Check out a free program called GIMP.
I've been using GIMP for a few years and in my honest opinion it's just as good as Photoshop if not better and it will allow you to import PSD project files.
