[cisco1717]

i've been seeing all these fantastic photos on this web site and i was wondering what's a good camera to buy, price ranges and any info i may need on accessories. Is it a good idea to get it new or used and where can i buy one. thanks for reading

What is your budget? That's a big factor in recommending a great camera.

I like my Nikon D60, I also like my Canon a570IS, and my Canon s2is iis great too, all depends on how much you want to spend.

i guess your right deanos, my budget is bet $500 and $1000 i heard good thing about the nikon D60 but there's an D80, do you thinks it's any better than the D60

i have canon g9 and its really good camera, considering its not bulky and huge, so you can actually take it outside and use it for everyday photos...

I bought my wife a D80 and she absolutely loves it.....I think there is a D90 out now as well......I cant keep up...The D60 is an excellent camera as well...You cannot go wrong with any of the above...It all comes down to $$$$

I have Canon Rebel XTI, and works great. You can get one for about $500.00.

i just use a sony point and shoot, but my pics all look crappy...fwiw, there used to be a vendor on this site who took amazing photos of his stock and he just used a crappy point and shoot too (though his pics looked much better than mine )

You could get a rebel XS and a 100mm macro for about $1k or you could get a 5D mk2 plus the macro for like $4k lol

I would get a camera that can do this...

[Reef Reaper]

what camera and len do you use?

I just curious, on which camera and len do you use, Bob 1000? the shot was very clear and sharp!!

 

[Bob 1000]

Canon powershot sx110is.. Lenses are for rich people,,lol.. And I can take the same macro shot as most of the people with lenses.. It's all in how you use a camera..
Learning how to use a camera means way more than taking a bad shot with a $3000 camera,,lol..

[jabol]
