I joined to see if I could find information that would help me choose what camera system to buy. After we had a burglary where my old Olympus E410 and lenses and some smaller cameras and a video camera got stolen I have a big chunk of money to spend on cameras.
People I know who are really into photography say, what I have also read on this page, that Nikon and Canon are equally good, you normally just stay with what you have.
I don't necessary have to stay with anything, although I do have some old Olympus lenses.
In the stores the sales people were telling us a lot of good things about Sony and we were really impressed. Now I wonder if they have higher commissions from Sony or if the cameras are really that good. Maybe I haven't heard much about them just because people are stuck with their old Nikons and Canons.
What are your opinions? I looked at Sony A65 and A77. I have also looked at the Canon A60 D
What I wish to have, but may not be able to get in one camera is,
light camera, viewfinder, fast for taking sports pictures, good in low light too, easy UI. I also know that the lenses are really important.
I am just an amateur and I have found that some of the things I like, easy changing the settings are only on the heavier professional cameras.
To be honest I don't like the looks of all these new cameras, but I guess I will have to live with that. I looked at the new Olympus OM-D on the web. It looks like the old cameras.
