So yea, I started photography buying from my teacher his Pentax 14D with a 18-45MM and a 60-200MM ( not sure on the exact number on that one but does not matter )

Tho, I want to buy a cam of better quality, that can shoot videos in good quality, and most importantly support a lens such as a 50MM 1,8f


Canon or Nikon ? There's soooo much model to choose from. I might be willing to put up to like 2000 $ or maybe more on this !


Thanks for any help !

Its not how much mp u have its about how well u can use a camera and how good u imagination is. If u have a good camera and cant take good photos theres no point. What are the specs on ur current camera? What do u manly take photos off? Do u do alot of walk around photography do u do close shots far shots? please more detail thank you! We will help u dont worry

damn xan, thank you for loving me so much.


With a 2k budget, I'd go for a Nikon D7000. It is superb at taking photos, better than anything at that price range. It also has video, but it is mediocre at best.

If videos are particularly important to you, a Canon 7D is your best choice. it is a little more expensive, but you can afford it (along with a 50 1.8). The 7D video is so good you can make 1080p movies out of it np.

oh Xan



imo I want to see some of his shots before I suggest a camera.

Just got back from soccer ill be posting shots tomorow. Ill check the 7D

haha, awesome



its better if we know what you want to shoot, landscapes, sports etc.....
is video the main priority or just a handy feature?

Get a used 7D + 50 1.4

Don't buy an expensive camera.
Glass > Camera.
Better having 2-3 good lenses and a decent camera rather than a gfg camera and 1 lens.
