Camera for semi professional
I am a travel writer and would like to take some pictures to go along with my articles - which camera is best to capture crisp clean photos to use on the web and in magazines? I would like to spend aboput $800.
An advanced compact or entry level D-SLR would give you more control of your camera in shooting conditions that you don't have control over.
A compact camera would be smaller to carry but the limitations of lens speed, sensor size and shutter lag time may become more of a frustration than anything useful.
The advanced compact will give you many of the features of a D-SLR camera without the interchangeable lenses. Most advanced compact's built in lens is already pretty fast...around f/2.8...which is pretty good for low light conditions.
The larger sensor on a D-SLR would give you much better color separation and clarity plus the interchangeable lenses would allow you to adapt to different shooting conditions.
There is many cameras to choose from that will fit nicely into your budget.
Stop buy your nearest BestBuy and try some of the cameras at the demo area. Look for one that feels good in YOUR hands.
