Needing Professional Camera [+REP]

[Tomm]

Please for gods sake just shut up. How many more times are you going to how talk about professional you are and that stupid fujifilm finepix camera and boasting about how much money you spent?

I would reccomend the Fujifilm Finepix S series to you.

I really do laugh at the above posts. I am better than him, seeing as he isn't a photographer, and my main reason for him not buying a D-SLR, is because I do not want him to waste his money. Normally you get a kit lens, around 55mm - what happens if he wants to zoom in? Another £200/£300!

Unless you are a photographer, a D-SLR is not needed. I did not start off with one, I started with the Finepix, as it is better than a compact, however not a D-SLR. That Nikon D50 is 6MP (appauling) and comes with a 18-55mm lens, which is only good for landscapes.

Please stop with the whole approach that your a professional photographer, your just a kid with a hobby.

Wouldn't a normal digital camera be better for the op? if your just planning on holiday snaps I don't think you'll need a costly camera.

Damn, someones finally put it in words which sound perfect!
Nice one!


Kevin, I agree with Mr.Sam. A normal digi cam would suit your best needs for snaps and memories or whatever.

I have that, (aswell as a D-SLR.) and works fabulously.

Many people use Photoshop which is about £400 does that mean they are automatically professional? No. Many people on here earn considerable amounts of money from webdesign but do they go around talking about how professional they are? No.

The fact is Darren you arent even really making and money from this. You arent a photographer.

He is a photographer, anyone who takes pictures is a photographer in that sense. But he claims to be professional, which he isn't.

Depends how you define it. I googled it and it came up with:

[noun] someone who takes photographs professionally

But some just say someone who takes photographs

Photographer stereotyped is a professional, but say someone does it for hobby then they are a photographer.

You're not exactly advanced, your stuff is very basic.
