 One of the best beginning photography tips I received when I purchased my fist DSLR was to make sure I didn’t buy a Ferrari when I would never be able to go over 30 miles per hour.

Luckily, there are many great options on the market today to choose from. Consider the following when purchasing your first digital SLR:

Purpose and Cost

    What are you going to use the camera for? This is one of the hardest beginning photography tips to understand when first getting started. If you are going to use the camera for snap shots of your family then you don’t really even need a DSLR and can save money in purchasing a simple point-and-shoot camera. If you are going to try to learn how to use aperture, shutter speed, and ISO to become a good photographer, than starting off with an entry-level DSLR like the Nikon D40 or the Canon Digital Rebel XTi is a great way to go. However, if you already understand how to use a SLR camera and want to develop your skills even more than you might want to consider buying a camera that is considered a mid-range DSLR like the Canon 40D or the Nikon D80 or D300.

Functions

Another one of the great beginning photography tips is to first and foremost, remember that the person takes the pictures, the camera does not. That means you can take amazing, professional-quality photographs with even the entry-level DSLR. However, make sure you compare the different functions the camera has before buying a camera. Some of the key functions to look for: ISO setting capabilities, max shutter speeds, built-in image stabilization, LCD screen size, and live view. One easy way to do this is to just print the details from a trusted site like adorama.com or amazon.com and then compare side by side.

Lenses

 Very simply, make sure that before buying a camera you check to see if it is compatible with a broad array of good lenses. These days, with the amazing continued advances in technology, many people are trading out their cameras for the newest one every two years while keeping their lenses for many, many years.

Hopefully these tips will help you get started in your search for buying a camera that is best for you and your needs. Check back often for more beginning photography tips and let me know if you have any questions.
