Can you use a camera on AIM?

What camera would be best for this criteria?

• Heya, I've asked this once before but wanted to ask again to see if I could get some more suggestions e.t.c 2nd and Last time I will ask :) I know I'm asking this question with very vague information given so you don't need to point that out. I'm asking so I can get some general ideas of suggestions and maybe look into them. Basically at the moment my photography knowledge is minimal, but I aim to do much research in to photography later on but I'd like to make an investment now into a camera- so I don't mind if it is one that I don't understand very much till later on, although it would be helpful If It was a camera that I could *easily use now as long as it has *advanced features e.t.c that offers more as my knowledge grows. In terms of money, I wish this wasn't an issue but hopefully a camera less than *£600 give or take depending on the camera. Yes I sound basic here but please go with it.. Need a camera that can shoot extremely well at *night, as well as capture landscapes at night and *architecture, has a range of shutter speeds that allows for *light painting as well as some possible nature shots. Has a *high amount of pixels (yes I know the myth but i will later look to blow the images up to large sizes), captures *detail very well, large sensor e.t.c As well as the potential to take good photos in the day time e.g nature shots/animals and landscapes (but mainly at night, daytime is less important). As well as the potential for close up images without blur and a good zoom, however i'd say that a *wide lens is more important as I will need this for taking photos of architecture. I am definitely not looking for a basic or point and shoot camera. I hope that helps give a little indication as to the kind of camera that I am looking for, sorry for my current lack of knowledge here. I hope that you can give me some helpful suggestions and don't just take my current lack of knowledge as not being serious- as later on when i get the time i aim to be. Thanx in advance. Please feel free to ask questions and I will get back to you. Peace. ----- P.s My other quick question: How much could I sell these 2 tickets for? http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuIviIndul8.QuvewcaIlCsgBgx.;_ylv=3?qid=20120215160024AA0MglB

• Answer:

  Okay You will need a camera like the Nikon D7000 or Canon 60D They both have long shutter speeds, up to 30 seconds plus Bulb which allows you to lock the shutter open with a remote shutter release. Here is how their sensors perform under low light conditions. http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Cameras/Compare-Camera-Sensors/Compare-cameras-side-by-side/(appareil1)/680%7C0/(brand)/Nikon/(appareil2)/663%7C0/(brand2)/Canon To shoot architecture, you will need a lens like the Nikkor 10-24 mm or Canon 10-22 mm lens. You will also need a tripod and pocket level so you can make sure that your cameras back is parallel to the walls of the building In addition, you may want a general lens like the 18-200 mm lens for when you are not shooting building interiors or exteriors Note: If your total budge is less than £600 you may want to look at the Nikon D5100 or Canon 600D, but even then, you will not have the budget to buy the wide angle lens or tripod if you don't already have one
