LAST EDITED ON Jul-19-12 AT 02:56PM (MST)[p]I know that it seems like every week there is another rookie like me asking this question ha... But I am very interested in getting into outdoor photography, BUT I honestly don't know where to start, so some help would be great!
So I have 3 questions...
#1. Do you prefer DSLR or high zoom cameras? Why? What are the benefits to a DSLR camera? And what are the benefits to a high zoom camera?
- For a DSLR camera, someone told me to look into a Canon 30D with a fixed Canon 300mm IS Lens. Would you agree or no?
- And for a high zoom, I've looked at the Panasonic FZ200 and it looks pretty good. What do you think about it?
#2. I'm looking for something under $1,000 or so... Don?t wanna spend a ton of money because I know it will probably be out-of-date in about 2 years anyways and I'll be wanting a new one...
#3. And which camera would you buy if you were in my shoes?
Thanks for the help!
