Good Starter Camera For Digital Photography

It is a great starter camera for anyone who wants to learn photography. It can do almost everything the big expensive cameras can do.

Awesome starter for anyone looking to get into photography. Has all the features you need to learn at a reasonable price and good quality.

I think this camera will be a great starter camera.

Great starter camera… very easy to use … Good reception

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

I recently purchased this starter kit for my son. He has been expressing an interest in photography for quite some time but was a little to young to put a DSLR camera in his hands a year or two ago. He has been using his smart phone and getting great results and has shown a great amount of responsibility with that, so I felt he was now ready to handle multiple lenses and a camera body that can be used in either program or manual modes. This kit is a great value with so many features.

Have really been enjoying the a6000 as I use it primarily for pet photography! The kit is perfect as a starter camera for someone looking to learn. It's incredibly helpful to get all the components, especially the memory card, extra battery, and charger. I highly recommend this package for anyone looking to upgrade or switch cameras!

I'm a starter photographer and a was looking for a cheap and the wider possible lens, principally for architecture and landscape photography. This is a very good choice, it's heavy and 100% manual but it doesn't produce distortion on picture like a fish eye. For a rookie, it's take time to learn how to use it but it's worth it.

I've finally made the transition from Film to digital and this is a great starter lens!
