Need a good photo and video camera

polishboy1098 · May 2, 2013

Hi I'm looking for a camera that I could take nice high quality photos on, they would be fast action sports, nature, and still life. Though I would also like to use it in order to take very high quality videos. I dont have a preference between DSLR or CSC, or any brand differences. I have looked at the Cannon T3, but i'm also looking at the Olympus Pen E-PL3. I would like the camera to be under about $450. Any replies would be great!

Size preference? Would you care for a big camera? Small / travel size? Waterproof?

For sports and nature you'd want a DSLR and a good telephoto lens.

Does not matter to me as it would normally be on a tripod.

I have looked around a bit more and am pretty sure I want a Nikon D5100, or a Canon T3i, but you can convince me otherwise.

I don't see how either one of those cameras fit your budget.

For $450, I recommend this one: Nikon D3100 14.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens ($446.95 @ Amazon)

I'ce been looking at used and refurbished too, so they are barely in it.

So is the Nikon D3100 good enough or not?

polishboy1098 · May 3, 2013

Yeah I would say so

I would say you can go for Nikon. or cannon both are good and mostly used by the professionals. You can also go for it. I am not that much aware about the pricing you can Google it for the current cost of them.

Also, as you are looking to purchase a new camera so I must suggest go for something that have a good Feature of panorama. It will provide you better quality for taking large photographs.
