Hi
Basically I need help with choosing a camera.
Last week we were in South Africa on holiday and spent a few days at a private game reserve near Kruger. I only had my iPhone with me and it did ok for photos of Elephants, Leopards etc but it was hopeless for bird life.
A guy who was also staying at the same resort had a Canon T6. He suggested that I downloaded the Canon app onto my iPad and then I was able to connect with his camera and download his photos and videos from his camera.
This got me thinking that I would like to get a decent camera.
Requirements/Budget
-I would like a Canon camera as I liked the iPad app
-I would like to be able to buy better lenses when I have more money.
-I am told that the T6 is now called the 1300D. However its only an 18 MP, should I be looking for a 24mp camera?
-Budget is "up to" about £700 for basic set up.
Any suggestions ?
Should I buy a 1300D and then maybe an additional lense? Or should I buy a more expensive camera and then wait till I can afford another lense?
With regards to the lense what should I be looking for? I know you can spend lots on these. I am not looking for a top of the range. At lest for now I just want to be able to photograph a few birds in the garden.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Alex
