What else do I need to buy that is essential, if I buy this camera.? What about the white balance? (For taking pictures at a wedding &amp; reception)

I recommend to buy a bag and 64 GB memory card. Probably you will need also a tripod. That`s all. Concerning WB for taking pictures, remember that it is a Camcorder. So its primary function is to tape. Although it takes pictures...Tha pictures are very nice.

Yes you will need to buy a card, this camera does not come with a card. Get a high speed one. It will make the camera quicker (like time between shots). They are fairly inexpensive these days.

Thanks so much for the response. After much research, I know I want this camera. What a great deal, I'll order mine tonight!

I bought four of the same type. Not sure that it really matters much if you are setting the white balance of your camera before shooting. That should compensate for differences in light spectrum.

Panasonic sd 60k get more picture wide len and more zoom and &lt;&lt;optical&gt;&gt; image stabilization. I got them both and in the end of testing, I return sony cx 150. there is one down side thou the 3.5 hour battery is expensive for panasonic. and sometime the auto white balance is a bit slower but in the end it all good.

Try B&H; Photo Video Pro Audio. 212-465 0171 / 877-849-7260. They were really helpful after I did a lot of research online and narrowed down my needs. Live Chat option too, so have all the techie stuff to hand to save time. I thought I was going to have to buy a new camera but at $300 the lens was just super. Brand new out of the box. I'm an artist and need great shots for uploading and reference.

To be totally honest, you don't really need to purchase anything else. It comes with a 32gb internal memory, but has 2 slots for additional sd cards. (so you might want to purchase a class 10 sd card.) I am including the original battery & charger as well as an extended battery & wall charger. It comes with a remote, and upload cable. You Might want to purchase a tripod, but it has a built in stabilizer that makes had-held filming wonderful! Hope this was helpful! It's a great camera!

If you really want to use the camera I would suggest buying a card. They are not expensive, as a matter of fact I always keep an extra card or two handy just in case. The alternative is returning and waiting for them to resend. :)

If I remember correctly I don't think you can. It's just the five or so presets you'll have to choose from. The newer models might be able to but, for now, you're just going to have to rely on post to get a real white balance.

You should have went with your original pic.All you get here is a bunch of canon ads.Any camera mentioned turns into buy canon.Ive been a pro for over 40 years.I use Nikon. Canons are about the same.In point and shoot Its a different game.Just a word of caution. Protect the lens.When not in use KEEP IT IN A CASE!Putting it your purse or pocket will let dirt into the lens.That's why everyone says my lens stopped working after a few months.You bought the inferior camera.Sorry

I upgraded to this from a T3 myself, and it is absolutely worth it. Better white balance, better colors, faster autofocus, larger screen that swivels, better feel to the camera, ability to use a wireless shutter release, better kit lenses, better feel to the body, silently changes focus while recording video etc. etc. I've written a detailed review myself, and even compare it to the T3 I upgraded from.

You'll have to inquire from the vendor. I bought mine on Amazon and use it at every wedding I shoot. It's a great lens. It's superb for balcony shots or stair shots for getting the whole wedding party in one shot.I doubt that Amazon would have a vendor that sold non-warranted equipment.

Set the camera dial on A, or S. Press Menu. "Shooting Menu" will show on screen. Click down to White Balance. then over to the options. You can then select for the shooting condition you are in, inc various types of lighting conditions.Suppodsedly this keeps white frpon coming out yellowish in your print - I think ! Look up White Balance on Google or other, if you are really into Photoshop stuff etc. Good luckHarry Dub

I just bought the A570IS a few days ago without seeing this alternative, so I hope I'm not wasting my money by not getting a better camera for pennies more! We shall see, I guess. Sometime next week I'll let u know if I was impressed with the A570IS.. (all of my friends have told me it's great, btw).

I bought an used white body in like new condition. I already had a dozen or so Pentax lenses to use on it.
