Beginner DSLR camera (for travel photography)?
So me and my family are travelling to India over the December 2010-Jan2011 holidays. To take photos of the trip, as well as photos back home, I was wondering which camera, as a first time DSLR user, I should buy. I was thinking of getting a Pentax K-X, but was also wondering which lens(es) I should buy?
Also, what other accessories do I need (flash guns, mem cards, batteries etc)?
My budget for everything is 1000AUD…
in my own opinion, the most useful lens is ironically the cheapest. Any fast prime.
I.e. 50mm f/1.8 or 35mm 1.4 etc.
The fastness ( low fstop – 1.8/1.4/1.2/1.1 etc) will let you shoot in lower light. It will be a great adaptable lens to take pictures of your family in almost any situtation.
telephotos might be heavy to carry around, and will be something that flaunts your weath and may put you in target of muggers. Just be careful, keep everything locked.
Tele’s are still useful for subjects that are away. A cheap tele that I use is a 75-300mm by Canon. I’m sure there is a simlar one for a pentax mount. I shoot canon so i’ll talk about what I know. The 75-300 is a useful range for shooting long away. it is light to carry around. ANd in low light, you can always just pump up the iso.
Wide angles for landscapes. 10-20 would be the most impressive.
A different approach for lenses
18-55mm. You get both ranges of wide angle and straight shooting. This is a common lens that usually comes with the kit. The down side of this, you’ll only have high iso to rely on in low light situations. But you’d carry less. I’d still carry the 75-300 tele with me.
Other accessories.
Tripod. Make sure your tripod can support the weight of your gear. make sure it is small enough to carry around and not be cumbersome.
Flashgun. Definitely useful, but despite my experience, I’ve always found them throublesome to use. You have to set it up and get a meter reading. balance the light. etc. By the time I’ve got it set up, the opportunity has passed. on your family vacation, the only opporutnity i can imagine using hte flash gun is at dinner time with your family gathered around the dinner table.
Extra battiers is a must.
Memory cards are a must. Wory about capacity, not speed. A class 4 should be more speed than you ever need. THe high class number is if you are coninuously shooting like 20 frames per second. Which your Pentax won’t do.
You may be able to find some used gear online. or second hand.
Enjoy India.
