As I stated in the previous post, I finally settled with a Canon Rebel TS5 with a 18 m – 55 mm lens and a 75 mm – 300 mm lens. I happened to find this bundle on sale on Amazon for the price of $449.00 when the original price was $799.00, so I am very thankful! I would’ve purchased for a Canon kit for $545.00 but I felt uncertain spending five hundred dollars with so much stuff to look into and understand.
This is somewhat anticlimactic, but I didn’t plan to buy a DSLR camera today. I guess I thought the day I purchased my camera would be on a special day. No, not as a birthday present or graduation gift, but when I’m completely definite on what DSLR would fit my tastes. No second guessing, more of a, “this is what I want.” Day. Mind you, I assumed that date would reside later in the year, but I guess not. So, suppose today is the day? I certainly hope so.
I looked at other cameras besides Canon, and I feel that Nikon only stands beside Canon in DSLR quality. Of course there’s other brands, but it doesn’t seem to capture my attention as much. Or maybe I’m a fan girl for Canon?
With my saved funds and sacrificial concert tickets, I bought the bundle. Yes, I did question and research the quality, also, it’s the ideal camera for beginners. I didn’t want anything too cheap nor amateur, and neither ridiculously expensive only for me to understand two control buttons. I planned to get the 50 mm lens because of good portraits, but would it matter if I use the 18 .mm – 55 mm? Because it should also utilize the 50 mm aspect before reaching 55 mm, right?
EDIT: Okay, so, I fell asleep while typing this, so I apologize. Woke up and trying to recall the rest of my post…
I’m somewhat blind in the DSLR department, but I’m trying to grasp the concepts. I understand a few things, but not all of them yet. I also bought a cute Fujifilm camera! Goodness, I haven’t seen film cameras in such a long time, so I bought because it might bring some use as well.
Thankfully, I managed to buy four items for a total price of $600.50, so I’m incredibly happy :D. Hope I could make good use of it, and then I can use various of things and take good quality pictures.
