Buying your fist DSLR...huh!?!


Okay, so I have officially decided to buy my very own dslr camera. I have gone back and forth between yes and no for a while now and I ,even though it means spending a lot of mula, have decided to go for it. Since making that decision I have learned that the battle isn't over. I started researching and found that I didn't really have any idea what any of the reviews were talking about. I went to my professor and we ended up talking about camera stuff for and hour one day and an hour and a half the next. Needless to say I learned a lot and feel pretty informed. I have got my choices down to 3. The Nikon D3000 or D5000, or the Canon EOS Rebel T1i. All three of these are pretty similar and are very nice cameras. Those of you who know me are probably thinking "How hard can it be to decide, plus it is Kiery, the cheapest duh!!" Actually for once this isn't the case. The D3000 is the cheapest, but it doesn't have some options that the D5000 does. Video being one of the big ones. Normally I wouldn't have considered video something that I would want, but as a wedding photographer having the ability to do video opens up you up to a broader market. The Canon Rebel a bit more money than the D5000, the only reason I am keeping it in mind is because I might like the way it feels in my hand more than I like the other two. This is a big deal by the way. Anyways...I am going feeler shopping this weekend and who knows I might have a brand new awesome camera by the end of the week. (I am taking my husband with me to ensure that there is a great chance of this happening. He makes me buy things when I would usually flake out. :) I will keep ya'll updated!
