| Apr 5, 2013 at 13:19 | comment | added | mattdm | We actually do have a series of questions answers designed to help new users make the decisions you're making, and hopefully avoiding the flamewar scenario. Take a look at What should I look for when shopping for my first DSLR? and its answers, and also at the specific other questions I link there, which actually go through your concerns about brand and lenses. | |
| Apr 5, 2013 at 13:17 | comment | added | mattdm | We've all seen web forums where camera recommendations devolve into flame wars about which brand is best. Somebody's going to swear that Nikon is best this year, and someone else will swear that it's always Canon, and someone else will say that Sigma's Foveon tech makes both irrelevant, and then someone else will tell you that Pentax or Sony provides hidden value, and then either you'll just be more confused than before or you'll pick one based on which ranter sounds better (or maybe based on your own existing biases), leaving a minefield that helps no one. We don't want that here. | |

| Apr 5, 2013 at 10:55 | comment | added | Joanne C | I would rephrase the question, I think, otherwise this question is bound to get closed by the community. Specific questions about what elements to look for based on your shooting desires is probably far more useful in the long run. See Q&A is Hard, Let's Go Shopping for details. | |

| Apr 5, 2013 at 8:31 | comment | added | Michael C | "Entry-level photographer" is awful broad. You need to tell us in your question what kind of pictures you want to take, and how much you're willing/capable of spending to start out. | |
| Apr 5, 2013 at 7:55 | comment | added | Th 00 mÄ s | Your question can´t be answered. Which camera is the best choice depends an what you want to shoot (sport, concerts), who your are (good eyssight, child, rich) etc. Its just not the right question format for Stackexchange. | |
| Apr 5, 2013 at 7:01 | comment | added | Mark | Thank you. but let's say I'm aiming for entry to semi-pro level. | |
| Apr 5, 2013 at 7:00 | comment | added | MikeW | Ulfric, these models change, as you say, so this question is very localised, so not really suitable for SE. We also don't know many things we'd need to know to advise you: your budget, what sorts of photography you might do (landscapes, travel, indoor photos of the kids, fast-moving sports, macro etc). Also you say you're a total beginner, but have you used a point-and-shoot? The Sony is aimed more at beginners than your other choices I think. | |
| Apr 5, 2013 at 7:00 | comment | added | Mark | Please be more specific. Like the 4 brand/model I mentioned. | |
| Apr 5, 2013 at 6:49 | comment | added | Regmi | Regardless of the year (2013), you are still asking a question that has been answered widely at PhotoSE. Start with this one if you have not already. photo.stackexchange.com/questions/23428/… | |
