Good Cheap Digital Camera For Photography

Serious hobby with good equipment. Shots mostly from tripod. Digital photography with heavy equipment. Secure camera mounting. Fast flip from landscpe to portrate. Able to level camera without leveling the tripod in most cases. (only pan shots requrie tripod leveling) Handles could be better positioned for shooting up at angles above 25 degrees

Jan 24, 2016 Review of: Magnus PV-7451M Tripod/Monopod with 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head I purchased the Magnus tripod for use with my Canon Rebel XT DSLR. I'm taking a digital photography class at Umpqua Community College here in Oregon, and since I was going to be taking a lot of different kind of photographs to meet the syllabus of this course I needed a good tripod. My other tripod was in use with one set of 25 x 100 Celeste on astronomical binoculars, and between these two issues was a good excuse for a new tripod. I had had good experience with B&H photo before, went online to see what they carried in the way of tripods. Wow, quite a collection of tripods. So I narrowed down the criteria for my choice and went with the Magnus PV 7451M. The reviews that were online were very favorable and the fact that the center portion of the tripod was removable for use as a monopod was a real plus. The quick release mechanism for attaching my camera has turned out to be a tremendous advantage. I bought my Canon Rebel XT in 2008 and had used its 18-55 lens for general photography. The primary reason I bought the camera was it was a good quality DSLR, and with a few accessories could be used with my telescopes for digital astrophotography. (I have a 5 inch Maksutov-Cassegrain on an Alt-Az mount and an 8 inch Schmidt- Cassegrain on a German equatorial mount.) So most of my use of the camera has been astronomical in nature, that is until I started taking my digital photography class. So in summary, the tripod has allowed me the flexibility I need to meet the class requirements and to learn some new tricks in terrestrial photography. Thus, even as a novice user I find the tripod meets all of my requirements and works as advertised

Modern digital photography is totally dependent on batteries and going cheap on who makes your batteries makes about as much sense as picking the cheapest memory card. In my experience the BLF19 rechargeable battery for Lumix cameras (specifically the G9) is a strong performer and, so far, I've never needed to use my backup battery after a morning of photographing raptors along the Gulf Coast.

it is quite helpfull for digital photography

Super cheap way to protect your lens. Digital camera sensors are not as easily, if at all, bothered by UV light. The filter fit perfectly on my Nikkor lens.

While it's arguable whether or not you need a UV filter on a digital camera this is cheap protection for your lens. For less than $ you add a layer of protection to your lens from scratches, dirt, etc. Well worth it in my book.

Good camera for wildlife photography!

This camera was recommended by my digital photography teacher and I'm so glad I got it. The functionally is quick to learn.

Use this for i frared photography along with a true IR film or modified digital camera!

It is cheap and functional. I use it for Macro photography.
