Welcome to the Camera Resources Thread!

I think it's about time we have a place anyone thinking about buying a camera or need help choosing the right kind of camera for them can go to.

Well here it is! Here, you will be able to find a variety of camera's and resources recommended by createBlog members. Whether you are looking for a digital, single lens reflex, or whatever, you can probably find one suitable for you here!

If you still can't decide on which camera to get, you may also discuss it here, and may be given input from createBlog members. But please try to use the resources listed here already, as the purpose of this thread is to reduce the amount of threads asking about what kind of camera a person should get.

Contribute!
1. To contribute, post it here. Provide a link to the camera (preferably from the manufacturer's website) and the type of camera and it's price range. You can also add a comment if you wish.
2. Make sure your camera isn't already listed here.
3. If a link doesn't work, PM one of the moderators and it'll be taken care of.
2. Please try to provide cameras that you truly recommend.
