If you need a starter camera

Looks good :)
 
A starter camera would be a simple point and shoot. Not this baby. LOL. It's nice and a good price as well.

This is a starter camera for someone that wants to actually learn photography. It's priced very low compared to pro level equipment, but has enough features that you can learn technique and skills from it.

A real pro would look at this camera similar to the way DJs might look at the Pioneer DDJ-SBII. It's functional, and I could rock a party on it, but I'd much prefer my actual professional level gear.

I was just having fun. This is a starter DSLR camera and for me since I don't know a lot about cameras or photography it would be pretty well advanced. I haven't learned everything there is about the one I have now. You are right about what a true professional would use. What a true professional would use more than likely will cost more then 1k. That might just be for the body alone. Normally as you learn more and understand more you will upgrade to better gear. That holds true with DJ gear. Normally when starting out a person will buy stuff that is low end because they can't justify spending all this money on something else. Until they see that what they have is not all that good and they need to buy better quality gear if they want their performance to be better and they want to last in this business. I have that same controller. I have it for a backup. I'm not crazy about it but I can make it work well. The reason is because of my many years experience and knowing what to do and what not to do. Knowing it's limitations and not trying to go beyond it's limitations.

It all depends what you want .. the cheapest dSLR I use cost me $800 for the body (Canon 60d) and I shoot most with my 7dII and 5dII which cost $1650 and $2500 respectively. So, yea, the Rebels are "starter" cameras if you intend to move on.
 
yep for a throw around one thats all I would use as above
but when you start doing professional photography then spend the $$$$$$

if a photographer just starts out then thats just fine for them

but dont preach that its not good enough or we could say something about your so called dj gear....

so how long you been a dj for ? 5mins or 38years ?

I just looked up that camera and they have bundles with that camera for some great prices. I say those would work great for your needs, since you said like me you're not a pro photog.
