Are you looking to purchase a camera this holiday season? Here are my recommendations!
I’m a canon guy so I’m only recommending canon. But other brands of cameras work well too. Click here to see Amazon’s top selling cameras.
The canon sx280 is selling for around $200.
It’s 12 megapixels, it’s lens’ wide angle is 25mm which will be great for your at arms length selfies and zooms in 20x which is quite a zoom. It also has image stabilization which will help keep your photos sharp if you’re utilizing this cameras zoom to its fullest.
The canon s120 is selling for around $429.
I owned the canon s100 for a while and was really happy with it. You can shoot in raw format, and also have controls over the shutter speed and aperture. It also has a much better lens. You’re trading in all of those features for less zoom.
If you’re looking for an SLR the Canon SL1 with a kit lens is going for a little over $200 more than the canon s120. So you’re going to pay $649 to get the camera and an 18-55mm lens.
The option of detachable lenses, 18 megapixels, and all the benefits of a SLR. A great first SLR. It’s also smaller than other canon SLRs which is nice!
A mid range SLR. Canon’s 70d. The price jump is quite a bit at $1500 but you’ll get a much better lens as well. My first digital SLR was a 20d so it was in this series, and I loved it.
