canon camera lens news image

Since I have learned that the lens is the main story teller in photography, Would this be ok for photo journalism? And what type of lens would I need! Be straight forward pleassssse.
Answer
I shoot weddings with a 15MP Canon Rebel camera as my main and a 10MP Canon Rebel camera as my backup and I can print them up to poster size and they look fabulous!
I'm not really sure what you mean by standard camera as compared to a DSLR ... it's certainly not FILM as film is not measured in mega pixels ... pixels are an electronic measure.
As for what type of lens? Well, it depends on the situation but i'd probably pick up a 70-200 2.8 L series (if you go with Canon). you'll notice, when you look in the news that that's quite a popular lens. It;s good for portraits and long shots and has a decent aperture for low light conditions.
As far as cameras, try to choose one that deals well with high ISO/ASA as you never know what the lighting conditions will be.
Good site to check out is DPReview.

What the next step after a digital camera?
BETSEYY JO
I have a digital camera and very intrested in photography. I think I am ready for a little more advanced camera that can take nice high quality photos. I am 14 and i do not know if i am ready for a digital SLR camera. Can you tell me a camera that you think i am ready for?
Answer
If you enjoy photography and you are ready to step up from snapshots, you have some learning ahead of you. You need to learn about film/sensor speed, aperture, and shutter speed, and the way those three elements combine to make an image. You also need to learn about composition, contrast, tone, and lots of other elements of a good image.
My recommendation as far as a tool to go along with this learning process is a fully manual 35mm film SLR camera, one that can take interchangeable lenses, and one where you set the aperture and shutter speed manually before each shot. The good news is that these days, even really nice, professional quality film SLRs are dirt cheap. You can find good ones on craigslist for as little as 75 to 100 bucks, or you can spend a little more to get one from a shop, like a local camera shop or an online shop like www.keh.com where you know it has been checked out to make sure it works, as well as having a return policy if it doesnt. There are lots of brands out there, but I would stick with one from Nikon, Pentax, Olympus, Canon, Minolta, or Leica, although I doubt you would find a Leica R camera in your price range. Don't bother with anything else. Of those, I recommend Pentax and Nikon the most, as their old manual lenses still work on their new digital cameras. Look for a Pentax K1000 or Pentax ME, or almost any full manual Nikon, such as the FA, FM2n, or FM3a. Don't get a zoom lens. Zoom lenses instill bad habits in photographers. Get a 50mm non-zoom lens. With that, you will learn to move, to get close to your subject, to hunt for the best angle at which to take your picture.
As to film, check out Kodak BW400CN, which is a black and white film that can be processed at any 1 hour photo lab. It costs about ten bucks for three rolls, and each roll costs five to seven bucks to get processed with a set of prints and a cd with scans of your pictures.
If you get a fully manual film camera with a non zoom lens, you always use it in fully manual mode, and you practice, you will find that in a couple short years that the photographic world is your oyster. If you can make good images with a setup like that, you can make good images with anything. Don't think that you are too young to be able to learn how to do it, either. I started out with a Pentax K1000 and a 50mm lens when I was eight, and if I could do it at eight years old, you can excel at it at 14.
Good luck!
