Is there a good camera for beginners, not expensive, such as a Canon EOS?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:EOS is not the place to start for beginners. Check out the Canon Rebel (any model). They are a great stepping stone into the DSLR world. If it gets too overwhelming for you, you can easily adjust the settings for it to act like a “point and shoot”, and when you’re ready to progress, you can start adding lenses that you can move on new DSLR bodies when you out grown the Rebel.
