If you want truly high quality video and photo you need to get a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex). There's a reason the pros don't use their cell phones. With a DSLR you can swap out lenses, have a variety F Stop settings, better shutter speed control, etc. For the average person it's not really necessary. For the amateur to pro photographer it's a must.

Years ago I was on a forum where 1 of the guys was a ���� camera guy and occasional performer. He was using high quality Canon cameras for HD ����. At the time, 10+ years ago, you were talking $3k per camera with the extra lenses needed. If you really wanted to dabble I'm sure you could find a used one to start with that will shoot studio portrait quality.

I want to get the camera for the sake of my music career. I checked on the DSLR on amazon and I'm seeing different types with different prices. The prices ranges from around $396 to $3289. What's the difference in these cameras? Is it that the cheaper DSLR have lower picture/video quality?

Sorry guys this is off topic

You get what you pay for. As far as how good do you need I don't know. I'd go Nikon or Canon though and read reviews. Both have been known for their quality going back to film days.

Alright, thanks for the suggestion. I've saved the URL of this thread for future reference when I'm ready to buy it.

I am by no means an expert but that generally carries true with electronics. The last digital camera I bought was a Canon (not a pro one, just regular use). Even after reading reviews that said "this model is lightning fast, this one is slower" I went with the cheaper one for $50 less. It was faster and better than the camera it was replacing but damn was it slow between pictures. A few months later I bumped into someone with the better camera and it was day and night difference on speed. I didn't cheap out because I couldn't afford it, I just thought I wouldn't need it.

I'd suggest finding some cameras in your budget and then Google them. There's forums for everything so when the results lead to them go read what real users say, not just the reviews on the website selling it.
