Ok folks, so after countless hours of research and recommendations from the photographer I've been working with, this is the initial combination of photography equipment I'm thinking of buying:
1. Camera: Canon EOS 40D 10.1 MP Digital SLR Camera
2. Lens: Canon EF 50mm F/1.8 1.8 II Lens
I can find both of these on Ebay for a combination of about $500, which considering my budget at this point is about $12, I have a feeling this is as close as I'm going to get. Any photographers out there have any advice for me? I'm an open book!!
Keep these requirements in mind:
- I'd use it for action/journalism shots more than portrait shots
- Some landscapes
- Extremely low budget
Any words of wisdom?
No joke- I just got that 50mm in the mail like 20 minutes ago and it's amazing. I only have a Canon Rebel XS though.
ReplyDeleteI want a new camera also! If only I had the money...
ReplyDeleteThat camera looks so nice. I am going to Cancun in December and would love to have it. The quality of the pictures must be so nice. I am also a college student, so I will have to keep dreaming :) I found you in the Friday hop and would love it if you could return the follow love back. Thanks Marlee :)

I'm a photographer, and that setup is perfect for your needs. Every photographer should have a 50mm lens in their arsenal, and the 1.8 is a good start. If you've found the combo of them on ebay for $500, then buy it! It's a steal of a deal :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
