Camera questions
I'm looking for some advice on a new camera. As is indicated by my lousy gun and grip photos I need to upgrade to something easy to use yet somewhat flexible, possibly interchangeable lenses. Not sure what to look for. Would like to be at no more than $400. Suggestions would be appreciated...

i'll ask my brother, he's an amateur photographer and is really into cameras so he may have some ideas.

The last camera I bought was a Canon T3i two years ago,it will run you around $550-$650.I know that's a lot higher than $400,but it's a hell of a camera.I'm just scratching the surface on how to use it properly,but I think it's hard to beat.Canon has newer models out now,you can probably catch a deal on one somewhere.

for that price range my brother suggests the Canon T3 or the Canon T5.
the T5 is what he's got. http://www.amazon.com/Canon-Digital-...=1418792171489 http://www.amazon.com/Canon-Rebel-EF...=1418792246562 if you were willing to spend a little more he Suggests a Cannon T3i or a used 60D.

I really like Canon, had a Rebel T3. My son is still taking great pictures and video with it. I have D60 that I purchased 3 years ago and it is a wonderful camera but considerably more money and way more camera than I need. The Rebel was more than adequate for very nice pictures even in difficult settings.

I'm still amazed that it's possible to get a Canon or Nikon DSLR with basic lens for under $500.
A friend of mine bought a T3 last Christmas, and he's been very happy with it.

I have 3Ti and it does everything! You cant go wrong with any of these suggestions. For your budget, go with the 3T or 5T or used 3Ti or 60D.
