Camera for beginners? I have looked at the T6i, but I have no idea as to what I should buy. Help?

I'm a dummy when it comes to photography. I have 6 children who play sports and have paid a hundred dollars over the years for action shots. My husband suggested I get my own camera and take some pictures. I would like to use the camera to take to many pictures of my kids playing sports. It's football season and I have 2 players to varsity in high school, 2 Peewee players and a leader. I'm sitting up in the bleachers around the 40-50 line yard (I feel like I can see also the two sense here) and I was about 50 yards away (give or take a bit of) the actual field. Kickoff is 07:30 here in Texas, and it is very close to sunset the Sun. When night falls, the lights of the Stadium are on like any other football game Friday night you can imagine. I want to know what the camera is a good camera for beginners. I have reflected on the T6 and the T6i, but I have no idea of what is the difference. They both come with a bundle, objective 18-55mm and 75-300mm EF. What is the difference between a DSLR and SLR? I need just broken down into language clear so that I can make a good choice. Which would you choose and why?

More mm, the highest magnification of the image that you will become.  The answers will vary widely depending on who you ask but to keep it really simple (at the risk of being wrong technically)... think of the magnification of the picture that you would get with binoculars in terms of x... I would use 50mm as the basis... which is 1 X.  So 18 mm divided by 50mm will give you 0.36 X and 55mm would give you 1.1 X and 300mm will give you 6 X.  To complicate matters, the size of the camera sensor, the final image is further expanded.  For example the T6/T6i (a cropped sensor device) will give you another 1.6 X magnification compared to a 5 d Mark III camera (a full frame).  The numbers aren't important, rather the idea... a number greater than 1 gives you more magnification - bringing the object more closer to you.

For digital SLR cameras (full frame), 50mm is normally considered to be 1 X - less than 50mm focal length, we call this wide-angle (lenses).  For FL 50mm more, we call this telephoto lens photo (lenses).

    Hello Cam,

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    I understand how it could be frustrating when things do not work as expected. Please, I beg you, don't worry I'll try my best to resolve the issue.

    ·         What is the exact error message you get on the computer?

    ·         Were there any changes made on the computer before the show?

    Follow these methods and check if that helps:

    Method 1:

    Step 1:

    Check if you have the similar problem in safe mode with network, otherwise you can try to put your computer to a State of clean boot in normal mode and check if it works:

    Start your computer in safe mode with networking

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

     

    Step 2:

    Follow the article to perform the clean boot on the computer:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista and Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Warning: After using the boot is a way to solve your problem step 3 follow-up to reset the computer to start as usual.

    Method 2:

    I suggest you to optimize Windows 7 for better performance and check if it helps

  • Windows Defender for add or remove programs in the taskbar, but...

    When you attempt to add or remove programs in the task bar , I get the message to turn on Windows Defender. However, I use Microsoft Security Essentials and I was told that MSE takes over and won't allow WD run. In addition, I don't see choice through MSE for add or remove programs in the taskbar. All solutions?

    I was trying to prevent a program from appearing in my taskbar. What do I need to uninstall to get there? In addition, I want to have MSE appear on the taskbar, and it isn't currently. I guess I'm trying to disable a startup program...

    RE: trying to prevent a program from appearing in my taskbar
    Can you not a RIGHT click on the program icon that is on the taskbar > click "unpin this program from the taskbar?

    RE: MSE appears in the taskbar
    Create a MSE shortcut on your desktop > drag the shortcut to the taskbar

    No, what you wrote, you don't want to disable anything of the program startup list.
    If you do, please give me the name of the program.

    Hello

    If you do not use a RAC database, I'm not sure that you use the SERVICE_NAME parameter.

    The SERVICE_NAME is used to specify the Instance (in a CAR) that you want to use for importing:

    http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/E11882_01/server.112/e16536/dp_import.htm#CIHHFIDE

    Otherwise, you can specify the complete connection string or set the ORACLE_SID environment variable.

    Hope this helps.
    Best regards
