    මචංලා මට DSLR cam එකක් ගන්න අදහසක් තියනව. ලොකු එකක් නෙමේ මුලින් entry level එකකට යන්න තමා අදහස. මගේ budget ඒක 65000/= තමා උපරිම.

    මේ ගානට මොකක්ද ගන්න හොඳ? තව canon, nikon අතර මොනවද තියන වෙනස්කම්?

    තව කොහෙන්ද ගන්න හොඳ? cameralk හොඳයිද?

    මේකේ ඉන්නවනේ camera expert ල පොඩි හෙල්ප් එකක් දෙමුකෝ බලන්න.

    1) availability of models for your budget range
    2) if most of your friends has certain model then it would be good to go with the same brand. you might be able to borrow some of their equipment. ( we do share lenses when we go out for trips)
    3) the area in which you are going to participate. is it people (canon) or nature (nikon). this point does not have a technological backing as far as I know. but heard the image sensors are better for those scenarios.

    65000 kiwwata machan cam ekak gaddi dry box ekak ganna amathaka karanna epa , also buy a SD card (some give free)

    Next is camera body - Nikon and Canon are the most popular here and so lets consider that

    Are you hoping to continue photography , or are you buying it as a hobby tool (trip yaddi photo gahanna )

    Camera Body

    Note - both Nikon and Canon bodies at this price are called APSC - or crop sensor cameras , these cameras have a smaller sensor than high end models -

    Nikon Apsc - D3000 series , 5000 series , 7000 series , 500
    Canon APSC - 1000 series , 700/800 , 80/70d and 7d

    No prob in the sensor being smaller , but it only matters if you are going forward in the field (pro) . Buy any set up - Nikon or Canon , get used to the system and stick to it

    Nikon - colors are cooler in Nikon cameras , the sensor is also a few mm larger than Canon , this is not a problem as both brands at this price make small sensor dslrs at this point , Nikon bodies are cheaper ,but lenses are expensive

    Canon - colors have a wamer tone to photos , many features like wifi and nfc are available in the camera body , camera body is expensive ,but lenses are cheaper and more lense options

    Choice is yours , nikon is mostly used by travel photographers ,to cover events, wildlife etc as colors sre more true to life ,and bodies are cheaper to buy. Canon is used by wedding photographers as they like the video features (magic lamtern firmware that adds high recording bitrates ,formats to even older cameras and warmer tones

    Lenses - buy the kit 18-55mm if in 65000-70000 budget , avoid getting the 50mm lenses as its not upgoing to be helpful when learning photography , if possible save up and buy a 18-140 and a tamron 70-300 later on

    Enjoy

    මේ දෙක තමයි උඹට ගන්න වෙන්නේ. මගේ තේරීම නිකොන්. උඹගේ තේරීම කැනොන් උනාට කමක් නැහැ.
