Buy the right camera?

I have now decided to buy a SLR camera. However, I'm not so experienced in choosing the right camera - maybe you can help me out.

I will use the camera mainly when traveling and would like to capture nature, animals and also people with the pictures.

I have experiences only through short trips, which I have recorded with a Canon 700d from a friend.

It would be important that the camera with my phone (Huawei P20) is compatible, because I want to save the pictures directly and send.

The price should be within a range of up to 500 euro.

In advance the most important question:

If you just want a camera that takes good shots and is not too expensive, then take one of those in your finance. Fit area and is good!

No joke, really, they hardly take anything. For normal users, everyone makes consistently good pictures for very little money. Even the handy cameras are often very smart. But if you want to go deeper (expensive?) Deeper into the outrageously white and often complicated topic and also want more and differentiated from the camera, then…

Do I read that from your question correctly,

that you - except with the 700D - so no information about photography and first want to learn all new? Because then my haunting brand or model claim that you want from us would not help you at all, right?

But what you could certainly make good use of, will probably be reliable sources in which you can yourself (!) Inform the very best, before you 'believe' anonymous forums writers. But that requires some interest in the topic. Do not worry - it just looks a bit complicated and confusing at first. : -) This important basic information in: http://www.fotolehrgang.de/ saves you money, if you first know what you really need! Do it to you, it's worth it in the dry course!

And then look here, there you can great compare the individual cameras technically: http://www.digitalkamera.de/ For really good photos of your favorite topics you really need not spend 500 euro (beginners are happy to spend much too much s.dood!) -) Ever… To the photography I would consider such orders of magnitude quite over-sized. Alright, that's not the topic.

Did you really 'consciously' decide on the mirror reflex knowing all the facts? Important for you are the fundamental differences of "Compact Cameras", "System Cameras", "Mft Cameras", "Aps-c-Format", "Small / Full-Screen Cameras", "Medium Format"… The range of all photographic possibilities is immense!

But for you, it's about making your own decision on what YOU (have and spend) want. And this is best found out by yourself. Reminder, if you only want good photos and good, then… See the top!

Here are the best price comparisons: http://www.idealo.de/...idealo.de/

And on ebay you can look up what individual models may cost needed. However, the previously acquired knowledge is quite important. As a layman you are otherwise pretty helpless and run the risk of becoming a willing victim of the marketing of the camera companies (they ALL want your money!). And the last 10% performance, for which you pay hundreds, you need hardly anyway.

Here you can read about what other photographers (amateurs and professionals!) Report on their models from practice: http://www.dforum.net/ and also: http://www.dslr-forum.de/ Very informative and diverse is it in the hhttp://www.fotocommunity.de/

For example, in such boards, you'll find that it does NOT make the pixel count (totally overestimated - for example, 300mpx is enough for DINA4 sized photos!) And that some Korean lenses yield the best results at only 1/4 of the brand price (roughly estimated, my samyang I will not give her) bring.

I think, with this overview, you really have a very reliable all-round view and thus find the fastest to your own ideal! You first a… Welcome to the photographers! Shouts: -)

Oh well, the recommendation… I would actually start in your place even with a used compact camera (pay attention to small zoom, which are qualitatively better) and after a year then you know that at a very low price, what is really important to YOU (and not the camera advertising.) And where still gaps in performance could possibly be stuffed.

From the experience of my two photo cabinets, I tell you… Never buy something new excited, what you can 'only imagine' well. You're really hot now goile mirror reflex, what? -)

Better wait until the moment, when something was really missing for the fifth time! This patience really saves useless money!

Sorry, three-and-only megapix are enough for DIN A 4 pictures! ; -))

No, 3MP are there then a little too little! 5 it should already be. Of course, it would be better to have more, but 5 would be the absolute minimum

Many thanks for the help!

I will look around the different pages.

Thank you very much for your important instruction, Gamma! I believe you that you can't imagine attractive pictures under 5 mp!

Not so long ago (well, 'relatively';) even shot title (!) With 4.5mp super sharp! For a long time, over 10 years, 20 * 30 photos of me hung in my favorite pub. One / two of them even under 3mp. But, you are completely right! EVERYONE who leaned over to the pictures with the magnifying glass turned away bitterly disappointed afterwards! ; -))

Come back down, you Pixelpeeper! -). Helena did not have a solution comparison in my answer. But to quite enough 3p for DIN A 4- pictures. But I want to concede that you may not have seen prints from 3mp images. Make yourself NEN expression and judgments then!

Really good knowledge is waiting for you!

Thank you, Helena, for your high distinction!

And a lot of fire then behind the viewfinder!

SLR cameras are now technically obsolete. Nobody needs this mirror anymore.

And since you do not want to get into the professional class (full format), the components just cost synonymous professional prices, you should have a look at the MFT system from Olympus and Panasonic (Lumix).

Since the MFT sensor is significantly smaller than a full-frame sensor, even matching lenses are smaller, lighter and at least a little easier to pay.

Personally, I do not think the technology is outdated, or I think that DSLR photography can offer something even when it comes to amateur photographers. But that you should inform yourself a little more detailed and read a bit, I think so too.

It is not worth buying a DSLR, whether APS-C or full-size, if you choose Auto Mode and do not want to deal with it. But if you feel like it and you are interested in actually taking the photos and the system is just your instrument, I would already be staying with such a camera.

The alernative, if we exclude compact cameras, would be bridge cameras. Opinions differ as to what are advantages and disadvantages, whether one is better for beginners, etc. Personal opinion: there are very good cameras, the advantage is that they have a lot of zoom, good quality can offer, but I think that they can't perform as well as DSLR at Lowlight even if the optics are excellent. Take a look at what's in your budget class and what the differences are, take some in your hands. The FZ1000

On the subject of DSLR recommendation, I would start with an entry-level APS-C camera, as both Nikon, and Canon have a variety of models, a bit older than the D3300, you can probably find the second hand around the 220-230 euro and can To learn so, at least for the motives you have listed, it should be sufficient in the beginning (animals not really, because you need something better, but there's of course a different price range). My tip would be if you take a DSLR, invest in Lenses rather and willing to spend a lot in the future. In the beginning you can easily learn with a standard zoom lens like Sigma 17-70 f / 2.8-4 Contemporary. I recommend it more often because it has more focal length than kit lenses like a 18-55mm, for example. And it is also brighter.

If you know your way around later and are willing to invest more in this hobby, take a good wide-angle lens, a good focal length for portraits, figure out if you need a lot of focal length when you're on vacation, for example a travel zoom in question. But currently: keep it simple.

Go into the business, which take in hand, see which manufacturer you can cope best with and then decide on a suitable lens.
