  1. There is a lesson I have learned today. Chase Jarvis taught me: “The best camera is the one that’s with you.” Any camera is better than no camera!

  2. That’s not stupid at all! If you like it, it’s the right camera for you.

  3. I’ve just bought a Sony slt a65. Is that good, or am I totally stupid? :-)

  4. Ohhh snap, what do you think about a fish eye addaptor? Are they any good?

  5. i have the canon rebel T3 for about a year now its a beginner cam works great takes awesome photos but now I’m looking to upgrade to either he Canon rebel T3i or Mark 5D III, I’m also looking at new lenses thank you snap chick for all ur help full advice

  6. I wouldn’t say that Nikon is better than Sony. Looking at similarly-spec’d cameras, it really depends on how the camera feels to you.

  7. I want to shot action sports and action films. i am looking at the sony alpha a65 with good hd video at 60fps and fast shooting. but also the nikon d5100 the specifications are better at the sony. but is nikon just better. :)

  9. They’re evenly matched. Try to get each one in your hands and see which one feels better and how you like navigating the menus.
