I have owned a canon 400D, with 50mm f1.8, 17-70 sigma f2.8-4.5, 70-300mm IS USM with 580ex flash before then went on to Canon G11 as i wanted portability and then Sony NEX 3 as the G11 could get me the results i wanted compared to the 400D... but even with the Nex3, results are not as satisfactory compared to the 400D, hence i decided im moving back into the DSLR category and im pleased that the K-R fits the bill in terms of budget, features and abilities. I dun really need a mid range dslr as i believe even an entry level camera can take great pics as well, its the photographer that takes the pics not the camera.
Now the question is assuming that i dun wanna go for colour kits, what are the recommendations?
- I wanna be able to take portraits like the 50mm f1.8,
- I would definitely need zoom lens as i do animal photography which requires me to snap them from far most of the time
- wide lens for landscapes as I have a thing for IR photography and for travel
- i need a camera bag + tripod as well for night shots
- needs to include UV filters, polarizer, (IR filter if possible otherwise in the near future, ND filter, sunset filter and morning filters)
- basic cleaning kit
think main focus is what lens to get and how to stay within my budget... advice is very much appreciated!!! thanks
