Hi there, i am looking for a new digital slr (mabey) and need advice.
I am going to africa for a year after the summer and am looking for a good new camera that will allow me to take some great shots
Im also going to be using it back home so if i describe the kinds of things i will be doing i hope you could help.
I want to be able to take continuous shots 3 to 4 fps for skiing, mountain biking, karting and other sports (mostly outdoors)
I would also like to take long exposure shots ie 30 seconds
For africa it needs to have quite a long battery life and take good quality shots (these things only happen once!)
my budget is around £450-500 so i have not a clue where to start, im an ameture but am wanting a camera that is still quite advanced (i can learn) doesn't hav to be a dslr but i presumed that would be best?
the Exilim Pro EX-F1 looks very tempting as it can also take great videos, but would there be a major difference in quality between it and an slr? I understand it is going to retail for about £500
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
ok, i think i am probably going to go for the cannon 400d, or 450d if it comes down in price before i go.
i saw the 400d here
10MP~ CANON XTi EOS 400D SLR CAMERA BODY + 3 BONUS ~BLK on eBay, also, Digital Cameras, Photography (end time 08-Feb-08 14:45:00 GMT)
but i am not sure what lenses i should buy, i would probably want a good zoom for sports, mabey a wide angle lense for group photos and quite a slim lense for traveling.
if anybody has any advice on these then please help!
the other thing is, im probably not going to have power very regularly so does anybody know of a solar panel charger or something i can hook up AA batteries to to charge it?
