I am really conflicted. I have no idea which brand of SLR camera I should get or which one is going to be best for me.
I've never used or bought one before, but my current camera isn't cutting it. I definitely need good zoom, but also love a camera good with macro settings. I'd love to be able to use long-time exposure settings. Live view is nice. I need a camera that can withstand some hard conditions (like getting dropped occasionally, and being outside in most weather conditions). My budget is a little tight, so nothing over $1,000 - which is still pushing it, but I can make some sacrifices, haha.
I've seriously considered Sony, Nikon, and Canon. Opinions and suggestions welcome. Thank you.
Best wishes
