What camera I should buy?

If someone asked me what camera I should buy, I will not answer it right away. That is a very common question from someone who is about to purchase his first camera. Well, usually I will ask him back to know what of his motivation and what he is going to do with his camera. Then I will ask him his budget. I need to know if his budget will cover what he is going to do with his camera.
There are many ways of what you can use with your camera. Just for taking family pictures, remembering great holidays, capturing your daily activity, hobby or learning photography in more serious way. If you will use your camera for taking your family holidays, for sure I will not suggest you to buy a new DSLR from Canon. Instead, I will suggest a compact digital camera which handy and easy to use.
How about the budget? They are variety of camera available in the market now with variety of prices. Your budget then will lead you to what camera you are going to buy. Today I can say you may have a good camera with less than USD 500 if you only need it for taking pictures of your children. But if you are about to be serious with photography, I have to say that you will need more.
Well, basically if you asked me what camera I should buy, it’s really up to what do you do with the camera and how much budget you allocate for it. In digital photography world currently, I can say that quality comes with the price.
