Re: General dSLR advice
Well, cheap filters are cheap! I have a $20 set of 77mm Vivitar UV/CPL/ND4 that are just fine. Would $50-100 filters be better? Probably, but would I notice the difference in real use? Probably not. Step up rings are on option, but then you've gotta bring step up rings, or always have them installed on your lenses. If your… -
Re: General dSLR advice
I saw a 'Fuji 52750 12MP Bridge Camera' today going for 190 euros (on sale, apparently), so I came home to check it out online, but couldn't find a single mention of it on google. Anyone know why? Are Fuji cameras generally good enough? As a first time camera buyer, am I even going to notice half the things you guys… -

Cameras near that price: Nikon D80(you can get a body for $350-450 used) Canon 40D($450-500) Nikon D3100($450-500) Canon T1i, this actually has 720P video($500-550 used) Canon T2i($550-650) These are eBay prices for used body only setups. The 40D is going to offer better ergonomics, controls, faster shutter speeds, and… -
Re: General dSLR advice
Thanks a lot Ark, yeah honestly the SLT thing doesn't scare me off too much, its the tiny uncomfortable grip of the A55. I'm trying to find an A560/A580 locally in a store here but having no luck atm. Looks like the super popularity of the A55 is keeping retailers from stocking the SLR designs. If I go Sony and am forced… -
Re: General dSLR advice
This is my motto when it comes to buying gear. My best lens cost more than my camera body. When you get a nice lens that you like, you're far less likely to replace it, now with a camera body, dSLR tech is moving so fast that you'll probably be looking at a new body every 2-3 years(just like a PC, lol). Lenses also tend to… -
Re: General dSLR advice
12 megapixels is all we amateurs need. (original picture here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mr_chompers/5065163353/sizes/o/in/set-72157625069193615/ This is a 90x120cm print from my 5D, a 12.8mp camera. It's plenty sharp and looks great. I'll take a 12 megapixels good body like the 5D over an 18mp 7d or whatever the newest… -
Re: General dSLR advice
Ok, back to it. Canon 500D(T1i), this is the bottom of the line camera that has live view and video. Its a 15MP camera and it does 720p video, which is plenty for just messing about with video, sure you wont be making your own full length films with this camera, but its a nice feature to have. Technically the XXXD line is… -
Re: General dSLR advice
No problem, I'm a camera nerd so its fun to write about this stuff. Yeah that is one thing with these MTF cameras, they're compact, but not small enough to throw in a pocket and take with you everywhere. The times you wouldn't take a "real" slr with you, you probably wouldnt take a 4/3rds Lumix with you either, as you've…
