Camera recommendation

[jaws7777]

Can anyone recommend a good camera ? I really know nothing about them as i mostly use my cell phone. Im guessing dslr are the way to go.

Inwas thinking of getting something that was geared to more of a beginner level to take better pics/vids of the fish and family. We do have a nikon but unless im using the flash the pics come out crappy. The shutter speed is too low (i think) tried raising it but it still comes out blury.

Canon or nikon is more of a personal choice, as both brands have great entry level cameras.

Dslr don't really give you great pics, until you learn the basics of shutter, aperture and sensor sensitivity.

For videos, you're better off with a good mobile phone.

Light are the most essential for photography, the three most important basics are about controlling the amount of light you're going to capture. So flash are going to be necessary with a dslr too.

About buying your first dslr, I am partial towards nikon, and after comparison with my friends Canon, I find nikon has a much better dynamic range and Canon shoots more warmer images, while nikon being more neutral.

Entry level cameras come along with 17-55 lenses, these are one of the sharpest lenses under both the brands nikon and Canon.

So that's my take, there's not much to decide, other than going with Canon or nikon.

As far as ahutter , aperture and sensor sensitivity is it mostly trial and error andessing around with the settings (Dslr)

I think i can handle that.

Can you recommend the nikon model i should look into ?

Try using metering, that should help.

Shutter is for getting either blurry or sharp images, so you need atleast 250 and above shutter for capturing stills of fish.
Aperture is for depth of field, and since fish are photographed at close range, you would need a smaller aperture(that is a larger fnumber).
To get those black backgrounds and smooth images, without grains, you need a smaller ISO (sensor sensitivity).

For personal use and fish photography, the basic dslr should be great.

There are two d5600 and D 3400, they both have pretty much the same photography capabilities, although the 5600 has an inbuilt mic for video coverage.
