Best Digital SLR camera for beginners that produce AWESOME reslults?
I want to start taking pictures of my baby girl who is 6 mo. SHE IS ADORABLE and already loves the camera.. I spend like 200-300 every time I go to Sears Portrait and I would just like to learn how to take picture portraits myself! I am hoping somebody can point me a good direction!
Thank You
I bought a Fuji Finepix S9500 a couple of years ago and its a great camera and very affordable. There’s a newer version out now (S9600) but the difference is only very slight. The S9500 has a 9.1 megapixel res and a 10.7 optical zoom. You’ll pick one up for around $300. Here’s a couple of shots I’ve taken with it:

As you can see it performs very well for close up work and equally well for wildlife in the great outdoors.
The Canon EOS range are probably a slightly better camera but come with a heftier price tag.
