I'm looking at getting a camera to do some wakeskating photography as well as video. I'm not looking for a top of the line camera but something that will shoot hd video as well as take a decent picture without breaking the bank. What would you guys reccomend? Thanks. |

GoPro definitely for video. Any model of the Hero 3 will work. _________________ 1997 Seadoo GTX |

d7000 is a good for only having a dx sensor. |

I shoot with a nikon, cool thing about them is that their lens mount hasn't changed so you can still use old manual lenses that are dirt cheap. |

completely dependent on your budget, but any of the d5xxx series would probably be your best bet, an 18-105 is a good starting lens too |

That's right! we used the same model and I got great shots and this one is really fit with wakeskating photography.

Just to be fair, the t3i was competing against the d5100, the d5000 was the generation before. |

BryceBell, Nice! It really depends what you're planning on shooting and how you want to shoot it. A good place to start is with the kit lens that usually comes with that camera an 18-55 get to know how that feels than go from there. |
