Q. l am looking into buying my first DSLR camera,I really want it for family pictures and baby portraits. So I have been looking into refurbished cameras and I found two that I am really debating between. I am obviously no pro so I understand that if I am bad a taking pictures it really wouldn't matter if I got the best one. My question is which of the two should I go with for the price? There is the Nikon d3100 or the Nikon d80. They are both the same exact price which of the two should I go for?
A. There is no comparison as such. You should go with D3100 as it has a newer sensor, shoots HD video and has newer technology. At some point, you would want to shoot a video too of your baby.
D80 used to be popular in its days, mostly for its build quality but as you are going to shoot indoor, build quality is not something you need to 'invest' in.
Now as you want to use the camera mostly for family abd baby photos, you should buy one of the following lenses. For indoor photos and for portraits, these lenses will take you far far ahead than where D80 or D3100 can take.
Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras by Nikon- around $200
Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras by Nikon - around $100
These lenses will let you shoot in low light and will give nice background blurring with F1.8- F2 in Aperture Priority mode. Once you see the photos with these two lense, I am sure you will come back to this post and would want to thank me for this advice.

photographers,and enthusiasts HELP?
Q. I am a beginner to photography and I am thinking of getting the canon EOS 600D. soes anyone own it and could tell me how well it performs and or can someone who owns canon in general help me out?
A. If you have an issue, tell us so we can help you.
Yes, Canon has sold more than a million 600Ds (to make you feel better) so there are lots of owners of it. You will not go wrong buying it.
Here are some tips:
1) Read photography blogs or tips online to be a better photographer. Any camera can do only limited things but with some tips, you will be able to take your camera to the next level. You will have better chances for better photos.
2) Buy some prime fast lens like 35mm or 50mm with F1.8 or so. For Canon or Nikon, you can get one for around $100-$150. With this lens, your DSLR will be able to take photos in low light too. Plus for taking photos for people and pets, they give nice bokeh- background blurring that you see in portraits taken by professionals.
3) Read your camera manual. You will be amazed to know how much your camera can do besides that AUTO button.
4) Work with your camera. Your camera can do only certain things for you. When you are taking a photo, it tries to guess what it is shooting and would set up Aperture, Shutterspeed, ISO, color mode etc to shoot a photo for you. Many times that piece of glass (I mean lens) and that sensor does not know that you shooting in backlight or in snow. It does not kow if you are taking photo outside in broad sunlight or indoor well-lit place. If camera does not know accurately what it is shooting, it will probably give you a bad photo. Now instead of blaming your camera for a bad photo, if you are willing to work with your camera, your camera can take better photos for you. Learn some basic photography tips and help out your camera when it struggles. Set a proper mode like Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Sports and tell your camera where and what you are shooting. If you camera takes too bright or too dark photos, set the Exposure Compensation and tell camera to take less or more light. With your little help, you and your camera can make a great pair and together you will be able to take better photos.
Enjoy Photography.
