Am I ready for a D-SLR?
I'm very interested in photography. Last summer, I borrowed my dad's old 35mm SLR and experimented with it (I wish I could've developed my own film, but alas, I didn't have access to those resources). Now, I'm going to be starting college, and I know I want to have (digital) photography as a hobby, but I'm just not sure if it's worth it to splurge on a D-SLR. Mainly, I'm torn between a Nikon D40, and a model like a Canon Powershot S3 IS (or something similar). I'm concerned that the Canon doesn't provide as good of a picture as the Nikon (thanks to the smaller image sensor), but the Nikon is obviously more expensive.
Any suggestions?
Answers:
I've been shooting with an SLR since before high school, so I can I can really appreciate the difference. Do I use a point & shoot? ONLY if my DSLR can't be brought along.
From what I read, you have the interest and the curiousity that calls for a DSLR. If your budget allows for it, get (as suggested wisely above) a used D50 or D70. I just picked up a used D50 myself and like the fact that it will take older lenses, like my D70.
Just remember what an SLR or DSLR is designed for, the photographer who wants the possibilities realized from his/her imagination. A point & shoot will serve you well to 'record the moment'. But an SLR or DSLR will "record the vision".
A Canon Powershot S3 IS is a great camera. But when you open up the camera bag - that's all it can ever be. Would a painter only buy one size brush?
