Landscape and nature photography but also family events and sports


Laura-Simmons-Taylor | Asked  over a year ago | Last response was over a year ago

I would would consider myself an advanced amateur. I took courses in high school and college back in the days of film and shot with a Cannon EOS 650 and a Hasselblad. I could not afford to move into the digital age with anything more than an advanced point and shoot and I am looking for a good model to bring myself up to speed on.

Which camera do you recommend for Laura-Simmons-Taylor?

Sony A57 - $499
16 MP|APS-C CMOS|3" LCD
Nikon D5100 - $497
16.1 MP|APS-C CMOS|3" LCD

    over a year ago Diego-Tony-Silva recommends the Sony SLT A57

    The A57 is much better than D5100 because:

    A57 has image stabilization !! "all lenses with vibration reduction"

    More focus points15 vs 11 
    More cross-type points 3 vs 1

    Video Autofocus phase detection 

    Shoots 12 FPS wow its better than nikon D4 and D3

    and  60fps in Full HD !!!
