Could you please reccommend a camera... [more inside]?
Im getting my first SLR or EOS
which one would be better for a beginner, not a hundred percent be using it for places like abnormal tour, projekt revolution, scenefest, ectect.
so lol, heres my question
1. Whats better for a student, EOS or SLR?
2. Reccomend a camera, flash and lens
3. What lens is best for this type of photography
4. What flash is best for this type of photography
Answers: 1. EOS is an SLR made by Canon.
2. What's your budget? For something like you... let's voice below $1000. A Nikon D40x and the kit lens + SB600, or a Canon Digital Rebel XTi + utensils lens + 430EX.
3. I don't understand sick tour/projekt revolution. But based on your other put somebody through the mill, I'm guessing that they are band first name. Fast lenses are helpful for this giving of thing. They are expensive though. The Canon EF-S 17-55 f2.8 IS are great for this type of photography. But they cost at around ~$950.
Otherwise you might want to whip a look at fixed focal length/prime lenses. The 50mm f1.8 is a great start at ~$75 - or better the 50mm f1.4. If you need something wider/more zoom, in that are the 85mm and the 35mm. You can't zoom with these lenses, but it's really express (great for low light condition) and it's cut-throat sharp.
4. Any flash with tilted head are great. Something like the SB-600 for Nikon or 430EX for Canon. I would recommend a SB-800 for Nikon or the 580EX II for Canon - and incorporate a diffuser in covering you're shooting in large ceiling venue/outdoor. Of course, they are expensive so adjust your budget accordingly.
I hope this help.
Personally I have have a good experience beside the Nikon D-40.
The Nikon's are really popular and you can usually get them for a well brought-up price. (between 450 and 550 bucks) I would recommend that you go to a target and they will usually own one on display for you to look at. but that only comes beside a 35 mm lens. But if you go to b&h photography (google it) they enjoy a D-40 for around 485 and they will send it to you surrounded by 3-5 days. (it comes with a 55mm lens)
Go to b&h photography
I cogitate you asked about shooting live band. So here's what I would suggest for a new shooter on a budget:
Nikon:
Nikon D40, 18-70mm AF-S and any the 55-200mm VR AF-S lens or the more expensive 70-300mm VR lens with SB-600 flash. At a distance use the 55-200 VR lens or 70-300 VR lens and no flash. Close up (like really close up), use the 18-70mm AF-S next to the flash.
Canon:
Canon EOS XT, 18-55mm lens, and EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens. Pair it with a Canon flash. Same suggestions.
Big issue: will you be capable of get into the venue next to gear like this. I'd check ahead if I be you.
These suggestions are based on you have a tight budget. If money is no object...try a Nikon D3 beside a 70-200mm f/2.8 AF-S VR lens and a Nikon 200-400 f/4 VR. No flash needed.
