Best camera for $500 ??
« on: September 21, 2016, 06:38:48 PM »
My daughter wants a camera. Nothing too fancy, but quality with ease of functions. Any insight would be appreciated.

I use this one because it's super easy to use and takes pretty damn good pics

We tried a rebel, but damn, you need to take a class to really learn how to use it right.  Returned the rebel and got this one instead.

And although I take tons of pics every week, I'm definitely no photog, but I do get paid to take pics  :lol:

I bought my wife a Rebel and she digs it. Used it in mostly auto modes until she decided to take a forensic photography class. Now she knows what all of the buttons are for.
