tips on buying a camera for beginners

Body:

    * For beginners and the only hobby I recommend just buying the Canon 1000D, 500D or 550D. This camera is very sophisticated, and the price is quite competitive.
    * Canon 1000D is the most low-end class, but it was enough memadahi in terms of image quality. It's just slightly less good quality body when in my opinion. Most plastic and feels "cheap"
    * Canon 500D is an early version that uses economic DSLR HD video. Features a complete, quality ok body and results were also steady. Its LCD capable of displaying images with brilliant.
    * Canon 550D is an upgraded version of the 500D. If there is more then the funds can buy a version that is complete with 18-135 kit lens. This upgraded version has advantages in terms of HD video is better, LCD supports wide format. Details can be read at The Digital Picture
    * As for the quite serious about his hobby could consider the Canon 50D and 7D as a weapon certainly mainstay
    * Canon 5D Mark II series or 1Ds Mark III / IV I do not recommend unless you do have excess funds, or want to become professional

 
Lens (wide - medium) as a general lens / multi-function:

    * For the lenses wide type - a medium for beginners / limited budget can use the kit lens Canon EF-S 18-55 IS f3.5-5.6 II (gift from buying camera body). Range and quality is not bad
    * Above you can consider the Canon EF-S 18-135 f3.5-6.5 IS which is also often combined with a Canon 550D as a kit lens. This lens is in addition to its fairly wide range (18mm to 135mm for landscape and human interest) and body image quality is better than 18-55. Obviously with a slightly more expensive price.
    * If you want to upgrade but with a relatively affordable price try lyrics Tamron 17-50 F2.8 (budget recommendation). These lenses are famous for pretty cheap but the quality far cry compared to the sharpness of the lens kit lens
    * For a more professional you can try the Canon EF 17-40 F4 L or the Canon EF-S 17-55 F2.8 IS (both highly recommended) or the Canon EF 16-35 II F2.8 (superb and expensive)
Lens (super wide):

    * Lens Super wide lens is usually used for landscape photos / architecture. The price is not cheap, but you can choose among Canon EF 10-22 f3.5-6.5 (highly recommended), or the Tokina 12-24, Tokina 11-16 or Sigma 10-20
Lens (medium - television):

    * Lens of this type can be used to take pictures of animals to model. some economical choices include: Canon EF-S 55-250 F4-6.5 IS (budget recommendation) or the Canon EF 70-300 F4-6.5 IS
    * A slightly more expensive option is the Canon EF 70-200 F4 L (recommended), the quality is far left above choices
    * A more solid option again is: Canon EF 70-200 F4 L IS (highly recommended), Canon EF 70-200 F2.8 L, Canon EF 70-200 F2.8 L IS (most expensive, but it was highly recommended
There are several other lenses are also very interesting, including the Canon EF 100mm F2.8 Macro (new version using the Image Stabilizer but at a price nearly 2X). This lens is recommended for those who like macro photography. In addition to the purposes of macros I also often use it to photograph a model (portrait type). This is because almost all have a 1:1 macro lens sharpness is incredible.
Another fix lens is also interesting is the EF 50mm f1.8 II. This is very inexpensive lens, lens is the cheapest amongst the canon lens. But the quality itself is actually very good. Though if you catch the photo quality may be the same as I would choose the Canon EF 50mm f1.4 as a compromise between the canon ef 50mm f1.8 is rather slow auto focus (and feels less sturdy) with Canon EF 50mm f1.2 L that cost crazy.
In addition to the lens body and much less is needed? Only three more:

    * Memory card, my recommendations for the memory card is a sandisk 4GB or 8GB. Can use a type of Ultra Extreme II or III. It has been more than enough koq. No need Extreme IV or the size of 16GB. Will not be used optimally.
    * Tas, if there was no purse and take it - take the camera wearing what? if I like the brand Lowepro. In addition to the price quite reasonable quality is also quite good and durable. Regarding the type can be selected to match the needs
    * Dry box, this camera and lens storage. usually equipped with silica gel to maintain humidity. Understandably in Indonesia where the air is moist lens becomes easily the most deadly disease (number 2 after the disease fell and damaged) for the lens, MUSHROOM. So better spend a little money to buy it, rather than an expensive lens you contract the disease. If there are no funds then buy a versatile box airtight, such as brands Lock 'n Lock, and then buy silica gel to put into them. Whereas if the excess funds can buy Dry Cabinet as required. Whatever the name Dry Boxes obligatory for in Indonesia is humid.

 Several reviews on the body and the lens can be obtained on this site. To search for a new item in the store can be a camera or online store jpckemang, com. While the search for the second item could be on the stock.
Happy shopping, and most importantly ... good picture!
