Glad you opened this thread,I think you should go for a DSLR or a CANON digital camera,SONY offers great lens too,you will love a camera with large focal length and photo algorithm software,but Jumia is a nice place to shop for amazing Cams |

Irelokeh:A 60K DSLR (NEW)? are you kidding, that will be so poor in performance. just save more or get a digital camera @op. |
Re: Beginners Guid To Professional Photography by Nobody: 11:46pm On Oct 09, 2015 |
ochuski:If you plan to get a GOOD and not so outdated professional camera (DSLR) budget around 100k plus. |

ochuski:Sorry...I didn't see ur budget in the first place....how about I help you get this Canon camera from Jumia for a discounted price of #63770 (that's from #80000) Am a sales rep on Jumia, you'll pay on delivery so don't think I'm a scammer...for further proof, see the thread on my signature.

Re: Beginners Guid To Professional Photography by Nobody: 12:30pm On Oct 10, 2015 |
ochuski:A Nikon D5200 DSLR or a canon EOS 600D, Both are around 130000K. However, if you are on a really tight budget, u can get the one suggested by Robinhez 1 Like |
Re: Beginners Guid To Professional Photography by ochuski(m): 8:33pm On Oct 10, 2015 |

Don't be hasty in buying a camera. Make researches, read extensively on the camera that fits your need. Nothing will be more painful than knowing you should've waited a little, more or spent more. Here in China 70000# will get you a Nikon D5200 and a 35mm f 1.8 prime lense or nikon D7000 and a 18-105mm zoom lens or also a 35mm f/1.8 prime for crop frame. I'm sorry, it's more expensive in Nigeria. If you're really serious about photography the least of nikon you should settle, for is Nikon D3300 a little cheaper than nikon D5200 and D7000. From my experience Don't rush bro. Take your time to buy the best for your money. Know why you need different types of these cameras and lens before you buy any of them and which fits your needs. Being informed will not harm you and would save you so much cost wise. All the best. Check these sites extensively to aid your choice process. dxomark.com Snapsort.com Watch YouTube videos like "how to choose the right camera". All the best. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

SmooshCHN:Sorry to chip in this, it seems you don't like canon cameras. I am pretty sure you own a NIKON because photographers love to recommend mostly the brand they are using. BTW a NIKON D7000 for 70000K in china ![]() |
Re: Beginners Guid To Professional Photography by SmooshCHN: 1:32am On Oct 12, 2015 |
Thavybe:First, true I own a Nikon but I do get my hands on Canon. From performance to simplicity their great and they beat nikon in simplicity and how easy to use them. Canon is darn pricey I used their 6D, 5d mk III and 5Ds and they are very great and you can't go wrong on any canon you go for if you can afford it For the OP, he can't get a satisfactory Canon camera and lens with 60-70k except he goes for the old Canon Rebel series. For Canon Canon Rebel t3i and other Rebel series would be good Canon 600D Canon EOS M Canon 60D or Canon 70D if he has extra. If you are shooting on a really tight budget I always recommend Nikon but I'm very sure you'll never regret Canon if you decide to go with it. |
Re: Beginners Guid To Professional Photography by SmooshCHN: 1:40am On Oct 12, 2015 |
Thavybe:with a 35mm prime lens |
Re: Beginners Guid To Professional Photography by Nobody: 12:48pm On Oct 12, 2015 |
SmooshCHN:I agree with you. |
Re: Beginners Guid To Professional Photography by ochuski(m): 11:05pm On Oct 12, 2015 |
SmooshCHN:wow! Tanks for your honest post... I appreciate...i happen to knw som1 who orders things frm china... What do u say i purchase on thru him? |
Re: Beginners Guid To Professional Photography by SmooshCHN: 1:04am On Oct 13, 2015 |
ochuski:Whatever you choose to buy, you're good to go. |
Re: Beginners Guid To Professional Photography by ochuski(m): 7:34am On Oct 13, 2015 |
SmooshCHN:Pls bro, recomend me a trustworthy chinese online store that ships to Nigeria |
Re: Beginners Guid To Professional Photography by SmooshCHN: 7:42am On Oct 13, 2015 |
ochuski:The only online store that sometimes directly ship to Nigeria is alibaba.com as for taobao.com that I use they don't ship directly to Nigeria. I mostly buy from local stores or taobao.com which needs you to be able to communicate in Chinese |
Re: Beginners Guid To Professional Photography by Brimmie(m): 1:19am On Oct 15, 2015 |

Re: Beginners Guid To Professional Photography by Brimmie(m): 5:22pm On Oct 15, 2015 |
SmooshCHN:Lol.. I know right!? ![]() Bros.. You suppose dey use this thing do business na! Okey Japan (At Ikeja) jus dey chop my money anyhow. 50mm Prime Lens na 30k.. Imagine! |
Re: Beginners Guid To Professional Photography by SmooshCHN: 5:29pm On Oct 15, 2015 |
Brimmie:When he calculates shipping cost and other stuffs an interest 30K is fair for a 50mm f/1.8. Cos its like 27k here. |
