I have never used anything but point and shoot, know nothing of camera settings etc (but am willing to learn). I love taking pictures outdoors, nature shots. Right now, I am using my iPhone. I would appreciate any recommendations on a camera and also maybe a good book for a beginner to learn?
P.S. I'm 56 years old. Don't need anything that takes excellent eyesight to adjust!
Answer
Your age has nothing to do with which camera you buy. I have used spectacles and adjusted the cameras diopter since about 1988.
With auto-focus, nailing the focus is not a big deal
As far as picking a camera, your budget will determine which camera you buy, since all cameras work the same, whether you spend $700 for an entry level dSLR like a Nikon D3200 or Canon T3i/600D or $43,000 for a studio camera like a Hasselblad H4D
With any fully adjustable camera, you will have to learn how to balance ISO, shutter speed and lens aperture

Using this website, you can practice doing that before you pick your camera
Spend a lot of time on the Nikon, Canon, Pentax and Sony websites, comparing the camera features that are available. Also look at the number of lenses available for each brand.
Once you have a good idea which cameras you want to further consider, visit a proper camera shop and hold each in your hands to make your final choice. Remember that once you decide on a camera system, you will be married to it for a couple of decades.

What's the best canon lens for pleasure photography and vacations?
Buttercup
Hey guys. I'm a 15 year old girl and for the past 2 years I've been saving up for a canon 5d mark ii and I'm almost there and I was wondering, which lens is the best for personal photography and vacations etc? Me and my dad travel a lot to big cities and stuff. Two of the things I'm looking forward to is going to NYC for New Year 2014 and we're also going to Sochi for the 2014 Olympic games. So I definitely want a lens for that.
I also like to take pics of my animals, and at the beach and of my friends at school. Any suggestions?
Answer
By purchasing a full frame camera, you have limited yourself to buying Canon EF lenses. The less expensive EF-S lenses cannot be used on your 5D, Mark II without damaging the cameras mirror.
Here is a link to all the Canon lenses.

As you can see, you still have a lot of lenses to choose, but you may need more than just one lens for covering the subjects you like to shoot.

When I am in Manhattan, I use a 14-24 mm lens to shoot the city.
When I am shooting field sports, I use a 70-300 mm when shooting in bright sun or a 300 mm f/2.8 when shooting indoors or at night
The lens I use for shooting my friends and events is the 24-70 mm f/2.8 lens
As you can see, the fine 5D, Mark II is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to building a camera system
