CAMERA BODIES
The camera “body” is the heart and soul of your digital equipment. It houses the electronics that make a camera a camera. You attach your lenses and accessories to it (SLR) or it is in fact the center of your complete camera system (Point and Shoot).
As technology progresses, we are continually bombarded by the latest and greatest advertisements from the 2 “market makers”, Nikon and Canon. Both companies offer a variety of cameras to suit your budget and style. If you intend to make photography a business or serious hobby, you need to invest in a DSLR to give you the features we’ll talk about in this book, as well as give you the ability to change lenses and accessories.
Here are my recommendations from each company, but I suggest you research them on your own or visit my website for more about each model:
