Often in our classes participants will ask us what camera they should get next. Or someone will phone us and say they want to buy a camera for a grandchild, which one should they purchase. It’s difficult for us to make suggestions as there is such a wide variety of cameras and price ranges to choose from.
There is a website that is incredibly helpful in providing information about cameras, printers, lenses, and video. What is particularly helpful is they have a list of best choices depending on your level of photography.
Digital Photography Review at www.dpreview.com. is the site to go to for help.
DP Review makes several suggestions such as: Best Cameras for beginners, Best cameras for social photography or travel, Best interchangeable lens cameras for under 1000 and many other specific choices depending on your needs.
As well as providing a buying guide they also do in depth reviews of specific cameras, printers and lenses.
Check them out before you head to the camera store to make your purchase.
