Hi,
I want to get a Digital SLR Camera, but have no clue whatsoever about this category of cameras.
I am used to the "point and shoot" cameras, the normal £200 ones, like Canon IXUS range.
The one I like the look of is the Canon EOS 550D.
How does it compare to the older 500D.
My budget is around £500 to £600 (I think the 550D is abit more than that).
What I would like to know is:
1. Would I have to upgrade the lens?
2. Should I get it with or without a lens? Which lens is good if buying just the body
3. Do I need a flash
4. Extra battery - how long does the existing battery which comes with the camera last
5. Memory Card, what would be a good size? 16GB, 32GB?
6. any alternative for this camera?
7. Any sound advice would be appreciated.
oh and for those experienced users, what cameras have you got?
Thanks
ps. what about this camera? its not a DSLR
