i got the 500D and i love it...slightly regretting not spending the extra for the FUll HD video of the 550D but not too much at the time the differnce was nearly £250 and a DSLR is so versatile.... way more than a compact will ever be....
Thanks a lot EQ :D The thing is that i have the new d5100 + 18-55mm + 55-200mm for 1000 euro, and the same kit of lenses with the nikon d5000= 599 euro. I saw that.. and i thought, "that may be a good deal". But knowing that canon has a wider and better range of lenses it makes me to doubt about buying a cheaper nikon :).…
I'm thinking about getting a camera. For taking really nice reference images, but also for a bit of fun trying my hand at photography. I am particularly interested in HDR photography and low-light situations (I love the night, and would love to be able to capture it in some form). I was looking at getting a pre-owned Nikon…
I've been polling friends, freelance photographers, amateurs and photography professors about entry level DSLRs for the last week. What I've found is that opinions are evenly divided right down the middle in the Canon vs. Nikon argument, haha. After some careful consideration, I'm leaving towards the Nikon 3100 again. A…
Dose anyone have an experience with a Macro lens? Fairly new to photography but really enjoying it for personal fun and the more I think about it the more I would like to add a Macro lens to my kit. I have a T3i with a 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens and a 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS II Telephoto Zoom lens. And shoot with a tripod if…
Ah thats exactly what I'm looking for EQ. Something that I can quickly and easily just take around with me for outdoors/vacation/random outings. Light and cheap. I know once I get deeper into things and acquire more lenses I will want to get something more sturdy like the 300 dollar tripods suggested. But I am still really…
Honestly, there aren't any good ones at a sane price. I bought a 250$ under water camera for snorkeling and it started acting weird the first time I took it out. The guides said they have about ten backups and go through them all monthly. The GoPro is the only real reliable camera and casing I've seen and used but it has…
Ebay is where I buy all my used gear. I've made a few posts here in the thread on"why ebay isn't evil", that you may want to take a look at. If you still feel leery about ebay; keh.com is a great place to look. They tend to have the largest selection of used gear, and at good prices as well. A 20d body should cost you…
Yeah, primes are where its at. Its really a huge shame that these Nikon bodies do not have a focus motor. Just a few lenses like: 16mm 18mm 20mm 24mm 28mm That you can get for Canon/Sony but not for low end Nikon, just sucks. Where these lenses hit their prime in the 4.0-5.6 range, the AFS cheap zooms for Nikon start…
One super huge, amazinly great thing about sony is this: All those Minolta Maxxum AF lenses? Well maybe you've never even heard of them, but there is a good selection of old used Maxxum lenses, that can be had on the CHEAP people do not realize Sony bought Minolta, and Sony alpha dSLRs fully support these old Minolta…
