What DSLR should I buy? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 83/100. GranTurismoGuru (161)   ranked 1,603 out of 3,133 in photography1 year ago

I am intending to join a good photography course at my local college. A few years ago my hobby was Formula 1 photography and, of late, my interest seems to be returning.

Can anyone please advise me on their opinion of a good professional DSLR Camera based on a price of around £1000 to start with.

My preference has always been Nikon but I am more than happy to consider all other recommendations.

Please advise.

I just bought a Canon Eos 1000D last week, and i bought and extra 200mm lense, I too am hoping to do a course on how to use it although the instuction booklet that came with it seems quite easy to understand plus i downloaded some ectra instructions from the Canon website and hopefully will be getting a free camera bag that I sound on their site as i bought the camera within the promotional date listed...just in by two days....so far sitting on automatic I love this camera...

Thanks for your comment. A professional photographer friend informs me that Canon have good, fast processors in their cameras. Hope you enjoy it.

Well, I personally shoot with Nikons and I would highly recommend them!

I currently use a Nikon D300 which goes for around £900 for the body only. It's an incredible camera! It has a 51-point area focus with 3-D tracking... which is amazing for sports photography... and I imagine it would be very useful for Formula 1 photography! You can learn more about the different features here http://www.europe-nikon.c... you're looking for something less expensive, the new Nikon D90 is less than £900 with a lens. What sets this camera apart from other DSLRs is that it shoots video as well as still photos. You can learn more about it here http://www.europe-nikon.c...

Thank you for your opinion and the links - I value it. The Nikon sounds just up my street and I'll take a walk to my local photography stockist and spend some time with one.

Very grateful.

Many people said canon and Nikon are good camera. That's right.
However why not give a try to Pentax and Panasonic too?

Pentax K200D and Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 are in the "top camera" category.

Pentax have been recommended to me before. I have never owned one, but I have used the old 'ME' to my great satisfaction.

Thanks for your comment.
