Camera reccomendations for a Newb
« on: November 14, 2016, 03:14:51 PM »
My wife has has the itch for a hobby and she has brought this up multiple times. Any suggestions from the hive as to what to get. I have bought her cameras from basic Point and Shoot to Hybrid cameras. She has a general understanding but i want something that can grow with her, and wont kill the bank for accessories.

What says the Hive. What is good out there. I have been partial to Cannon, but she is liking the feel of the Nikon body.

Thanks

You really can't go wrong with any of the entry level bundles. I recommend Best Buy because they have the 18 months same as cash deal. That's where I got my 5D.

Either brand is going to work well. If she likes the Nikon go for it.

Going to agree with Eric this one, there are so many great bundles out there. Costco always has a ton of them at really reasonable prices. I'm pretty sure Best Buy matches Amazon prices as well.
