Hi everyone!
This is my first post so bare with me :)
I studied film in uni (including an introductory course to photography), went to the UK to gain experience (I\'m from South Africa) but got absolutely nowhere! So I decided to concentrate on photography to keep on honing my skills.
I have been playing around with an Olympus C750 but quickly got bored with its limited functions and excessive noise. I really enjoy photography though (more than I expected) and even got a few good pics out of the C750!
My question is this.
I have already contacted a photographer to be his \"sidekick\" at weddings, but I don\'t know which camera is the right one for me!!!??? I think I\'ll concentrate on weddings, abstract portraits and the odd landscape for this year. I\'m very much into the unusual (dark, moody, stuff like the works from Baz Luhrman or Salvidor Dali) just to let you know what I\'m looking for in a camera.
I\'ve got about £800 to spend (MAX!!!). I\'m looking for a good camera with a basic setup so that I can do amateur shoots on my own, and build the kit as I progress in the industry. I\'ve been looking at the Canon EOS 350D (really like it!) and the Olympus E500. Both looks really good, but to be honest, I don\'t really know what to look for.
I know this is a lot, but I\'ve been reading up for ages, and not getting anywhere. Plus, I only have another 11 months in the UK before I have to go back to South Africa so I can\'t hang around too long. Hope you guys can give me direction. Any advise will be appreciated. THanks!! |
