What you need:
– A DSLR camera ( a digital camera that allows you to switch lenses).
Here’s a general list of popular DSLR camera’s:
Good: Canon Digital Rebel T3, Canon Digital Rebel T2i, Nikon D3000, Nikon D5100 ($500-$650 with kit lens)
Better: Canon Digital Rebel T3i, Canon 60D , Nikon D90 ($780-$980 body only)
Best: Canon Canon 7D, Canon 5D MarkII, Nikon D300, Nikon D7000, Nikon D700 ($1500-$2500 body only)
A kit lens is the lens that most likely came with your camera. If you really want to step up your game, consider purchasing a 50mm 1.8 lens. This is not required, but I think you will really love how your pictures look when using it and it is awesome to learn with! Cost is just over $100 for this type of lens. I am not a Nikon user, but I do know that there are two models of the f/1.4 lens. Autofocus is not supported with the f/1.4D on the D40, D60, D3000, and D5000 camera bodies. Two online equipment stores I like to recommend are B&H Photo, and Adorama. I will have one extra Canon model available that participants may trial.
