Hello everyone, i would like to say at the beginning of course and as newbie in photography i would appreciate some advise before my purchase:
i'm new to serious photography, and frankly may never become one, but lately found myself in situation where i like places i'm going to but dont have good digital memory for later:)
so i decided to start with camera (sony a350 DSLR) and reading/listening a lot to how to make good pictures.
so now i decided on package i can afford and would love opinions if i should (may be cheaper or better options are avail.) use of a camera will be non proffesional, more like a family pictures on vacation, i dont need macro and not sure about long range lenses, but plan cruise vacations incl. Europe so ready to couph up more dough:cool:
sony DSLR a350 body only
DT 16-80 carl zeiss G series lenses
extra battery with bag
sandisk extreme III 8GB memory card
want for price but cant get body only a300, and not sure if i need 2 go with 16-80 tamron or sony-stock, not sure about long range lenses as well.
whole set up can be up to 2000cad (1700usd). your opinions will be wellcome @ all times. (cant change sony though, i've read yr forum b4, tried different brands-sony camera the best for my hands)
