chrisj1968 1,417 Posted October 11, 2015 depends on what you intend to do. A Canon 5D MarkIII or Nikon D800E 36.3 MP CMOS FX-Format Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) 36 MP and top of the line now for DSLR's.Or an entry level Canon Rebel system or Nikon system. I would lean on recommending a full frame sensor system like 5D MarkII which should be a lot less than the MarkIII. But full frame sensor DSLR's give you a large range of abilities to print pictures up to 60inches x40inches minimum. Canon 5D MarkIICanon 5D MarkIIIAPS-C systems, smaller sensors and smaller print abilitiesCanon SLI1 package dealCanon EOS Rebel T5 18MPbest wishes in your search, my mentors taught me one thing: a Camera doesn't make the photographer, you do. read books, and when you meet pro photographers, pick their brains.. that's how i got to be where I am. and practice, practise and practise.Chris J 1968 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrisj1968 1,417 Posted October 30, 2015 Those cameras are too much for OP's budget..OP, So here it is:http://www.switchbacktravel.com/best-cameras-under-500oh that's fine. I was just giving you some ballpark ideas. I had to use my disability backpay to spring the for 5dmarkII. though my wife thought after all the surgeries, which makes her a wife of women, she thought I went through hell and I got the 5DMarkII and still had thousands left over. But a friend photographer told me the camera doesn't make the photographer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+xrobwx71 835 Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) http://www.amazon.com/Pentax-K-x-18-55mm-Black-Discontinued/dp/B002OEBTC8This is one I bought about 6 years ago (paid $650 then) and I still use it from time to time. Takes beautiful pictures. It would be an nice but inexpensive upgrade to what you have now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
