the Canon and Nikon cameras

Digital SLR photography professionals often shun the Canon and Nikon cameras. Thus, if you want high-quality photos some people recommend other brands, especially the brand names such as Sony or Kodak. Photography takes skill no matter which type of camera you posses however. Thus, if you are an amateur you can start out with a less expensive digital SLR and work your way up to a better camera later.
