Decided last minute to go shoot the fireworks for the first time. Wish I would have gone out earlier and found a good spot.

I can only speak for Canon. I know there are guys who use Nikon, Fuji, and Sony here who can speak on those brands, but you can get a good startup Canon for under $700. The camera is only the first part though. Eventually he'll start "needing" or wanting new lenses and that's where it gets expensive.

Are you a Canon expert breh? :leostare: I am thinking of upgrading my canon sx50 to a SLR. But I am not sure which one I should get. I am not quite ready for the 70D though (:whoa: my budget and my frequency of taking photos can't justify that price tag) I do want to take nice photos of the night sky, good zoom (but I guess that is based on the lens). Basically take wallpaper quality photos (:lolbron:)What do you recommend?:lupe:

true. i dont typically see too many people, or didnt use to see to many folk in the chi rockin teklife stuff unless they were damn near in the crew, which is why i asked. any of your peoples treated?
I shot a video with The Boy Illinois who I believe is down with Treated, and the breh Hollywood **** who Kanye signed not too long ago, went to the same high school as me. He's a few years older though. I know he's been reppin' Treated for a minute now.

I don't want to claim an expert by any means. I'm not sure what your price range is, but I just saw this. The sale is through Ebay, but the seller has great feedback scores and the fact that Canonpricewatch even is posting about this deal lets you know it's legit deal. The lens isn't amazing, but 18 (landscape)-55 (portrait)mm will allow you to take different types of pictures.

A 70D is actually better then my current camera. I only have a 60D with a 18-135mm Lens. The lens does allow me great range in different types of shooting, but it's not a full frame camera like the 70D so I'm loosing a little bit on my pictures.
