It wasn’t long ago that I set up my fancy Google Profile. If you haven’t set up your own, it’s a privacy advocate’s nightmare. This is a system whereby you willingly inject Google with your personal information to “improve search results” when people search for you. I didn’t give them the Full Monty, but you can find own everywhere I’ve lived, which may or may not be useful for … whatever.
The point is, last night, for the first time, I received an email through my Google profile from a friend. A friend who didn’t know my email address, and found me through Google. Profile. Man, this system is rock solid. He wanted to know if I had any thoughts on picking up his first digital-SLR camera. Well, I’ll let him tell you.
I want to get a DSLR camera for Christmas, but I do not know much about them. I was hoping that you could shed some light on what would be a good first DSLR camera for a first time user. I am interested in Nikon or Canon, but that is only because of name brand recognition. I am looking to keep the cost around $500.00 for body and lens. Any thoughts?
Do I have some thoughts? Sure I do. This one’s for you, Dave.
