I have a sony cybershot 12.1 MP with touch screen which I love for portability and it has a quick shot, unlike many point and shoots that have a delay. I also have the Nikon d3100 which I love, love, love! I can switch between auto and manual modes, the kit lens is great considering it's a kit lens. The d3100 is a great beginners model for DSLRs if you think you'll be getting more into photography, and it's versitile. Just buying better lens's will advance this camera a lot. No need to replace it until I get into serious (professional) photography, even then, it's great. It also has a record mode so I can get high quality short films, and its on the lower end of the price spectrum considering its capabilities.
Good luck! there are a ton of cameras out there and it's a tough call when picking. |
