Q. Hi Folks,
I am much interested in photography since my childhood. But till I was using Canon A3100 Point and Shoot camera.
I am willing to buy an entry level DSLR as I am an amateur. I googled much but arrived in a confusion. I have shortlisted 2 models. Please suggest the best one.
1) Canon 600 D - heard many positive reviews, but lens cost is more and there is no auto focus in video mode.
2) Sony SLT A58 - heard that lens costs cheaper. But is it rare in market ? I think auto focus in video mode is available.

A. Actually Canon has some great value priced lenses. Sony has limited line up of lenses and they are normally expensive.
Here is an article that should help you with your first DSLR purchase:

Also, don't buy a camcorder for video as one answerer suggested unless you don't care much about quality. With a right lens, an SLR will take much better video than any consumer grade camcorder. With SLR you can do selective focusing but a camcorder will give you flat videos- everything always in focus. Here is another read for you:

Nikon D3100 or D80...?
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.
