Good digital camera for shooting content?
 

What's a good digital camera for shooting content? And what kind of flash should I get?

There are many. Good point & shoots and great SLRs.

What's you budget?

I don't think shooting content with a point and shoot is a good idea...

I think the lowest you can probably get away with is nikon d70 or canon e20...

I'd like to stay under 2,000. I have looked at the Canon e20. What sort of flash should I get for it? I know I need to spend alot more for a content camera, but I have to start somewhere and in this case, its kinda small.

I appreciate the feedback already given.

In the future, when I have more cash for a good content camera, what kind should I get that is in the $3 to 5k range? Thanks

Go with Nikon D70 or Canon D20.

You might as well start with the right one from the beginning.

Thanks, Charly :)

wtf is Canon e20???? D20 for sure, whatever e20 is, don't... :helpme

as for the flash, the best bang for the buck are Alien Bees, followed close by White Lightning, (just to keep prices low and quality high), i use Hensel studio flashes, fitted with Chimera softboxes and various accesories, count about 4 flash heads for pro lightning...

Get the 20d you wont be dissapointed, And as for flash units i swear by my dyna-lite setup but that will run you 3-4 grand

i agree with what others have said. the d70 and to 20d are both great. even the new rebel xt might not be a bad choice its almost as good as the 10d and is only $999. check em out!

D70 is more then fine to start with and well end with for that matter. The body is about $900.00 and you can get a Nikon 50mm lens for about 125.00.

I just bought one for backup when my fuji went down. Took me just a couple sets to get the feel of it which I was impressed with.

Might not be a real work horse like the big Nikons or Fuji's, but its a great camera for someone starting. Nice camera for the money.
