Some cameras only accept sd cards, while others cf. Newer ones even accept both :D But yeah cf cards can be faster than sd cards, but the newer sdhc ones are getting faster.
Yep, hoya uvs are pretty decent...of course if you want better ones look into the B+W brand. More expensive uv filters are thinner and have better coating (i think), so this reduces the additional ghosting/flaring you get when putting extra shit in front of the lens. Idk about older lenses, but if you can live with full…
I am sure you are all tired of seeings these "best camera" threads, but I tried searching and I couldn't find any pre-existing thread. I am thinking of getting an entry level DSLR and I did some research, and I inclined towards a Nikon D60 if I can find one, or a D5000. I am not really sure about the Canons, they seem to…
just a few words on taking pictures when you set your fstop you set it depending on the effect you want. The shutter speed setting will be determined by the light meter. The camera will tell you if the image is averaged, underexposed or overexposed. I say averaged because when the camera says the picture has the perfect…
Wasn't this the camera the thread-starter ended up getting? I began my DSLR journey with this camera as well, and not having done that much SLR photography, this ended up being a good choice for me, it served its purpose as a introduction to the world of (D)SLR photography and photography in general. Although that was 4-5…
Wow guys, thanks for so much input! :D Poop, you're right about inexperience. I have actually wanted an SLR for a long time but I convinced myself that it's just me being bad and not the camera. Even now I am not 100% sure I really need one, so in the end I might not end up getting anything at all haha. Massive thanks to…
Ha, Poop, I didn't think this would happen, but it seems that I might actually end up getting a 20D. There's a used one at B&H, and I am going to be in NY for about 10 hours so I might pop-in and if the condition is good enough I'll get it. I went to the store today, to hold stuff, and I almost bought a D90 with some…
No need to get defensive, I was just trying to point out to EQ how a uv filter might come useful :) A good uv filter really doesn't degrade that much quality (so far I haven't seen any real tests proving that it does) unless of course you're shooting really really low light and have bright light sources, in which case some…
