Hi all
I am looking for a decent DSLR. I enjoy photography but only really whilst travelling rather than in any serious way. I currently use a Canon S95 & a Sony NEX 5.... Our first baby is due shortly so I would now like a DSLR to improve the quality of my images (if not the composition )
I will freely admit that I haven't a clue about any of the manual features on a camera - Have never really understood apertures - shutter speeds - ISOs etc but I am willing to learn. In the meantime it is vital that any camera I buy has a decent Auto function to use while I get my head around all the other stuff.
I am really only interested in either Nikon or Canon.... I could probably spend up to £2000 but don't want to waste the money if this would be miles out of my league. My main concern is the overall picture quality - mainly JPEG as I will not have the time to mess around with RAW a lot.... A good video mode would also be nice. I have looked at the following cameras with some thoughts below....
Any comments gratefully received....
??? Possibles....
Canon EOS 650
Canon EOS 60D
Nikon 5100 or wait for 5200
Nikon D7000
Would these be much of an upgrade from my current gear?
or go for a full frame beast - pictures should be good on that then!! Do they have newbie friendly modes?
Nikon D800
Canon EOS 5D (mk III)
Canon 7D
Thanks all!!
