Pwede din ang normal na digital camera. Hanapin mo ung may manual override. Ung cheapest yata is ung Casio. un ung dati ko. nasa 8k nalang ngayon. maganda na ang kuha. 10megapixels na yata. Search mo nalang sa net kasi mas ok may reviews.

Yan bro. Philippines Price yan. check mo sa Hidalgo sa gilid ng SM Carriedo or dito sa mga multiply sites na to.

A digital single-lens reflex camera (digital SLR or DSLR) is a digital camera that uses a mechanical mirror system and pentaprism to direct light from the lens to an optical viewfinder on the back of the camera.

The basic operation of a DSLR is as follows: for viewing purposes, the mirror reflects the light coming through the attached lens upwards at a 90 degree angle. It is then reflected twice by the pentaprism, rectifying it for the photographer's eye. During exposure, the mirror assembly swings upward, the aperture narrows (if set smaller than wide open), and a shutter opens, allowing the lens to project light onto the image sensor. A second shutter then covers the sensor, marking the end of the exposure, and the mirror lowers while the shutter resets. The period that the mirror is flipped up is referred to as "viewfinder blackout". A fast-acting mirror and shutter is preferred so as to not delay an action photo.

All of this happens automatically over a period of milliseconds. Fast cameras do this upwards of 10 times a second.

DSLRs are often preferred by professional still photographers because they allow an accurate preview of framing close to the moment of exposure, and because DSLRs allow the user to choose from a variety of interchangeable lenses. Most DSLRs also have a function that allows accurate preview of depth of field.

Many professionals also prefer DSLRs for their larger sensors compared to most compact digitals. DSLRs have sensors which are generally closer in size to the traditional film formats that many current professionals started out using. These large sensors allow for similar depths of field and picture angle to film formats.

The term DSLR generally refers to cameras that resemble 35mm format cameras, although some medium format cameras are technically DSLRs.

ahhh un pala un... hmmm... interesting nga... ipon na cguro ako ng mas malaking halaga... thanks for the info sir... appreciate it...

aside from the suggestions already mentioned, you can also try starter dlsr models from Pentax, Olympus, Fuji you'll be amazed by the features they offer at a cheaper price. non-dlsr w/ manual settings is also good to start with. i started using canon a95 (w/manual mode) and that's where i learned how the shutter/aperture/iso settings works. and if i have the $$$ now i'll get a Lumix3. getting a second hand older model is also is another option. my boss still uses the very old canon 350d and i still envy his shots (he got pricey lenses though=)).

i recommend Nikon D60, medyo mura na okay pa ang quality...and you can get cheaper accessories from nikon compare to Canon...and also sa Color Quality okay yan....pero im not sure kung may available na battery grip for Nikon D60..

BTW, im a canon User, im geared with Canon 400D, old model pero nasa lente pa rin ang tiwala ko..personal opinion ko lang po..

again, i recommend Nikon D60...

mahal pa din... pag lalaanan ko lang sya sana ng 15k.. meron bang may ganung presyo?

not sure kung meron DSLR na 15k.. even mga "SLR-like" models tulad ng Canon G10 over 20k na rin.

for me i'd suggest you go for the Nikon D40 (instead of the D60) if you are on a budget.. otherwise if you have 6k+ to spare go for the D60 na. kung entry level talaga ang habol mo. I had my D40 for years and it still works great... minsan mas madalas ko pa siya gamitin kesa sa upgrade camera ko.
