Pentax K100d Super or Canon Rebel T2?
I am debatting on geting a SLR or a DSLR. Apparently the Pentax K100d Super is a really good beginners camera and it has that anti shake, but the Canon Rebel K2 is suppose to be a good entry level SLR. Im confused. Should i start off by learning with a K2 or should i get the Pentax K100d?
If you are just beginning with photography, I suggest a Pentax K1000 100% manual film camera with a 50mm f1.7 lens and the Owner's Manual.
A copy of "How To Select & Use Pentax SLR Cameras" by Carl Shipman and a copy of "Object & Image: An Introduction To Photography, Third Edition" by George M. Craven will be very useful as you learn about f-stops and shutter speeds and ISO (called ASA in the older books). You'll also begin learning about light and composition from these books.
Once you've mastered the K1000 then you will be ready to transition to a DSLR like the Pentax K200D or K20D. The K100D Super has been discontinued.
Yes, there will be costs associated with using film but if you buy your film on-line from:
Adorama (http://www.adorama.com) or
B&H Photo (http://www.bhphotovideo.com) its cheaper. Most 1 Hour labs run specials so you can save money on processing and printing.
Films I use on a regular basis are Fujifilm Superia Reala 100, Kodak Portra 160VC, Fujifilm PRO400H, Kodak Portra 400VC. For portraits I like Kodak Portra 160NC.
For those times when I dabble in black & white I like Ilford XP2 Super 400 or Kodak BW400N. Both are C-41 compatible so your 1 Hour lab can easily process and print them.
