Best way for a beginner to get into photography besides taking a class?
I am really itnerested in photography and have been researching about it lately. Everyone has mixed opinions on how to get into it. I currently have a Nikon Coolpix plain old digital camera and want to upgrade. Should I make the jump to a DSLR (and learn the ropes myself and through online because I cant take classes because my parents work until late) or buy a nicer point and shoot digital and work my way up eventually?
Please also include camera suggestions!
I really appreciate you answers in advance thanks you!
i don’t think buying a new point and shoot to replace an older point and shoot is “upgrading”. I guess if you got one of those “zoom lens reflex” (point and shoots that are made to look like SLRs) it might be considered an upgrade. It would depend on the features of the particular camera.
If you have hundreds of dollars to spend, it makes more sense to buy an SLR and basic lens. That’s how most people learn who don’t take a class (that’s how I learned – I learned with an AE-1 Program film camera and a 50mm prime lens). But if you can take a good class, that will greatly decrease your learning curve. I regret not taking a photo class when I was younger.
As far as cameras, any decent camera from a well known or reputable company will work. I’m always amazed at how people on this website stress themselves out trying to decide over two slightly different camera models, as if that is really going to make a big difference in their picture-taking ability (I can assure you it will NOT).

Which laptop would be best for me?
I want to get a laptop but know very little about them. I am a full time student taking online classes and I take a lot of digital photos. Which laptop would be the best for internet, school stuff, and photography? How much should I expect to spend? Also, are laptops from Walmart reliable?
All laptops at wal-mart are very reliable.
You might want a small “Acer Aspire One”
That laptop is sold at wal-mart for a very good price.

Internet speed depends on what you are paying for, like verizon or at&t
A program for photography like photoshop can cost around 50$
All in all, having a complete computer with programs for school might add up to 300$
including security

Digital Photography Accessories
When it comes to buying digital accessories for your digital camera you will find that you will probably spend a bundle on stuff you will never use or probably only use once. This is if you are taking photography as a hobby, it is different if you are planning or are taking photography as a professional or serious hobby because you will have to buy accessories which you will most probably end up using or have to use.
Buying digital accessories is very necessary especially if you have taken a professional job like fashion photography or even a serious hobby like bird watching. Most of these accessories come in handy during difficult shots that have to be taken in a certain way. Not forgetting the lighting and of course how the sun hits the particular subject you are taking photos of.Long distance lenses, fish eye lenses are important as well as tinted lenses and the other many accessories which would include an extra GB of memory or off course the most important a battery recharger or basically extra batteries.
Many people forget that when you buy these small digital photography accessories, you will probably end up using them. In fact you don’t have to be a professional to carry the accessories with you because you never know when they will come handy. Preparing for the unexpected is what makes you a good photographer. Being ready with the right accessories, is what will get you those shots you might have missed.
