Hi,
This is my first real post, so please be kind
Right, first of all, the body. Now after reading endless reviews, and comparing many brand named SLR's, (mostly Nikon and Canon) i have come to the conclusion i will mostly likely go towards the Canon EOS route and purchase the 450D model. Reasons being; has various features, suitable for beginner, affordable and can add an additional lens pretty much straight away. As i have read through a various number of threads on the forum, i have noticed alot of members with this model SLR, and would like your opinions on it.
Would you recommend it for a beginner?
Could i hold on to it say for 2 years without feeling i need to upgrade straight away?
Should i just purchase just the body or is the kit lens worth the extra money? (18-55mm kit lens that is)
Is the Live View really that slow?
In the live view mode, if i was to blur the background, is it clearly visible?
Am i able to take professional looking pictures using this camera within the fields im interested in? (stated below)
If it helps giving your answers, i am interested in the following types of photography. Macro/Panoramic/Portraits/Some Landscapes/Weddings.
Please excuse any blonde questions guys. And i have searched for relating threads on the forum and cleared up some other questions i had, but the questions i am asking now, either i couldnt find, needed more reassurance or havent been asked.
Greatly appreciate any help recieved!!!!!
