Digital Slr Camera With Manual Controls

This is my first upgrade from film to SLR digital camera. There are so many buttons and controls that I felt a little overwhelmed. This video is basic enough to get anyone started but intermediate enough so that if you are familiar with depth of field, ISO, shutter speed you will understand very quickly all the features of this camera.

I bought this camera to make the leap from a digital point and shoot to a digital SLR. I last used an old film SLR 10 yrs ago, so it'll be nice to see what I remember and learn even more about photography. I'm very happy the camera accepts AA lithium batteries and there is a lengthy printed operating manual too. Additionally, there are more than enough manual settings for my needs. Lastly, the price is right and was lowest on B&H! I haven't found any cons yet.

Great entry digital SLR camera with bright viewfinder and full manual control for students of photography. I added a Cannon 40mm 2.8 for point and shoot. But a beginner should add a 50mm prime lens IMO. Get the bulb cable for long exposures for maximum creativity. I have found manual focus useless compared to my film cameras, the autofocus just works.

I specifically wanted a digital camera with manual controls, like the one my dad had when I was growing up, and this camera exceeded my expectations. Having used it for a few weeks now, I can confidently say that I absolutely love it.

A good size for an SLR or lower profile Digital camera. and a lens or two.

EASY TO USE DIGITAL SLR CAMERA. TAKES GREAT PICTURES.

I wear glasses and to have a rubber eye cover is a must on my digital SLR camera.

the perfect camera between a point n' shoot and a full blown digital SLR.

This is a must have for any nice SLR camera, the quality of this skin is amazing, I would never have another camera without a skin like this. Controls work perfectly with the skin on. Only drawback is getting the lens cap of the body, but it's not a big deal at all.

I needed an underwater housing for my SLR so I could use it on a trip that would include some very basic snorkeling. Admittedly I was a little reluctant to jump in the ocean with my camera in what amounted to a plastic bag, but there was nothing to worry about because the bag worked flawlessly. It was real easy to use, the camera went in and came out quickly. Obviously it was cumbersome to use the controls underwater due to there being a thick plastic bag between fingers and the controls but it beat not having a camera that could be taken underwater. I considered buying a rigid housing that would allow for better control interface underwater but I decided since I am not a professional and since I don't do extensive underwater photography investing that much money seemed foolish. An additional bonus is this case folds up pretty small, so tucking it in my camera bag was easy.
