Q&A: What’s a good camera for a teen looking to professional photography as a career?
Question by 11:17: What’s a good camera for a teen looking to professional photography as a career?
I’m 15 and I want a professional camera for my 16th birthday, but I’m not sure what to ask my parents for.
For one, they feel that I shouldn’t have a professional camera until I’m in college or something. I try to tell them that photography is something that I’m really into and if it’s going to be a career, I should start now.
Thank you for your help.
You guys are saying Canon Rebel & Nikon d40. Those are both what I had in mind.

You shouldn’t buy top of the line camera (or even mid range) until you’ve learned all you can do so with a less expensive one. If you’re going to take any photography class, they likely will tell you to get a film camera. And in this case, a used Nikon manual camera (FM10, FM, FM2, etc) is perfect for you. Other brands will be fine, too. But if you want to jump into digital camera (what teenagers would not?) – get Nikon d40 or Canon digital Rebel XT – both under $ 500 and will give you a few years of use.
Getting a $ 5,000 camera won’t do you any good at this point and I doubt your parents will pay for it.

Q&A: What is a good Nikon zoom lense to use at concerts?
Question by : What is a good Nikon zoom lense to use at concerts?
I have a Nikon D40 and I am looking to buy a lense. I go to quite a few concerts and I sit anywhere from front row to nosebleed seats, depending on ticket prices. I need a lense that has a really good zoom but also works well given the lighting situation. Any suggestions?

You can forget that, they won’t even let you in the door with a dslr camera. These cameras are considered professional by virtually all concert venues and there are copyright laws you know.

Question by : What is a good pentax k1000 lens to get for beginners?
I am looking to get a zoom lens for my daughter, she is using a pentax k1000 camera. If there is any other lenses that are recommended please let me know. I am not sure of what lens to get. I want a lens that will bring things from a distance in closer. I am obviously lost here when it comes to photography, but any info would be appreciated.

Sounds like you need a telephoto zoom. There is a huge range available in the K-mount, but unless you give us some idea of a budget, it’s going to be hard to help.

I am fairly new to photography and am interested in buying a zoom lens. What are some suggestions for a good middle level zoom, that is affordable (I am thinking in the $ 500 – $ 600 range)? Must be compatible with a canon EOS dSLR.

The 55-250 mm is a good lenses to add to your current 18-55 mm lens.
IF you have any 35 mm EOS, you will then be limited to EF lenses only, since EF-S lenses can damage the mirrors in 35 mm and full frame DSLR cameras.
