Beginner advice
Karen, a very good friend of mine, wants to buy her first DSLR and lenses and is confused by the alternatives. I am a Canon user and I’m very happy with Canon, but I’m trying not to influence her too much, and I know nothing about the other cameras and third-party lenses.
She wants the camera for a wide range of subjects, from landscapes to wildlife. She enjoys macro (she’s used my old Nikon Coolpix) and says she would like to do some bird photography. So, a small macro lens and a 400 mm telephoto zoom? I suspect she will have to go for third-party lenses initially.
If you were starting again and wanted to do it well, but cheaply, what would you do?
