I'm trying to buy my first camera but I'm having trouble knowing what to look for in a camera any suggestions?
Well your first camera isn’t as big a deal as it may seem. Any camera you can get your hands on that takes photos is a good camera. But my advice is don’t spend anything more than $500-$800 for your first camera chances are you’ll probably upgrade the body in a year or two. With that being said, If you’re a slow learner and get an easy to use well rounded camera; something like a nikon d3300 or canon t3i or newer. If you’re a quicker learner and feel like you might need a better body sooner than a year get an older high end nikon or canon model like a nikon d7000 or canon 60d. Bottom line: Go into a camera store and play around with some cameras and pick whichever one feels right to you, I went into best buy with my mind set on a canon and wound up buying a nikon, it happens. Hope that helps. (btw specs don’t mean shit and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, it’s the photographer not the gear.)
