I'm going to sell my XTI and get either a XSi or a 40D..... I need something with live view
Guys in the NYC or Miami area could check Craigslist for sweet deals.... Lots of well taken care off stuff on there for decent price

Dragist,love the greenry

[Dragist]

Thanx Samo .

Scullman that's the same B&H Bogen / Manfrotto kit I was looking at

[Dragist]

Oh Hold that

[Maserati]

anyone using the Canon Rebel XT, I know it is a bit old but I'm now getting into the SLR scene, getting a used one with 18-55mm/80-200mm/3 Batt./1gb card/Bag - $500CDN.

[Dragist]

^^^ That's what I am using Rebel XT , That looks like a good deal Is that the 18-55 Kit lens ?

[Maserati]

It is the 8-55mm lens and the compact 80-200mm lens he said.

Seeing the Nikon 40D body alone for $382.76 new as well.

[Dragist]

Interesting I never heard about a 8-55mm I just did a search and found nothing

[Maserati]

my bad is the 18-55mm lens as you said. mistype on my part.

check a store by me the 18-55mm is $234.63 CDN and the 80-200mm is $199.95 CDN.

[Dragist]

And another thing if it's a 80-200mm 2.8 L it's a older lens and the AF is a bit slow Image quality is great , also lovingly called the magic drainpipe .

Some photos from that lens

If it's the Canon 80-200 4.5/5.6 II , not so special

[2NR Smurf]

alyuh fellas good yes..

[pugboy]

Maserati you must mean the D40 not 40D
the Nikon D40 is a nice camera but these models are rather small and mickey mouseish

[Maserati]

Maserati you must mean the D40 not 40D

ah yes the D40
out of it today

[pugboy]

500CDN is a real good deal for a very widely known proven camera
you should try and find out how much clicks it has on the shutter

it nice to own the latest and greatest camera but I think unless you are a pro the margin of returns on a camera costing twice as much as another will be very negligible
very often when shopping for expensive electronic items, big screen tv, laptops, digicams etc the person will read every tom dick and harry review and pick nits with all kinds of things, after they spend their money they soon forget about all those things

this is a very good read

I must take some time to thank Draglist for inspiring me to run out and buy a DSLR
Who ever thought that a V8 man could influence me into something but it was a good decision because now I'm hooked on this sheit...
I'm going to upgrade my camera to maybe a 40D and start building a collection of lenses to keep be busy over the winter when I can't play with rotarys

There's so much more to a camera than the "auto" setting
I've learnt some major sheit by reading all the infomation available on the web, plus youtube got some great basic tutorials... Now my camera don't come off "M, TV & AV" with 3-4k clicks in under 3 weeks

[Dragist]

^^^^ Sniff sniff Great move I myself am looking at upgrading to the 5D though , Manual all the way I moved from "Green box mode" when I had the P&S .

Well for the cheap arse fellas like myself with millions of old cell headphones throwing about, now may be a good time to use them..
Fork buying a Canon remote shutter realise, just chop up a old headphone or go down by steves electronics and tell Andy yuh want a mini push botton switch and a mini headphone jack... I just tried it and it works like a million bucks Buy me a beer when you see me

[Dragist]

You know how I have been meaning to make one of them

[RoTaRyBoYz]

would you believe that im actually walking around looking some sheit to snap The bug has bitten real bad

[pyromaniax]

i looking tuh buy d nikon coolpix p80..anybody using dat?

[pugboy]

you can get generic wireless remotes on ebay for cheap also

[Dragist]

So I am trying Macro now

[obeiron]

Nice pics people. Impressive fly Dragist!

[.:PROZAC:..]

bad attempt at tusing 'bulb' mode at night. Pointers or general rule for ISO?

[Dragist]

Looking good Prozac I see no problem with your ISO in the first pic you had more ambient light

[.:PROZAC:..]

Thanks dude. What surprise me is that stars actually showed up in the pics of the night sky. I went out again and I couldnt see them witt the naked eye at all.

[Dragist]

Yes I see that you used between 10s - 14s Shutter speed's for the sky shots you will pick up the stars

[Notorious Scullman]

Why use BULB for 8-14 sec exposures?

Why not use Tv (shutter priority) if you have an idea how long you want to expose for?

Or even Av, if you know what kinda of Depth of field you'r e lookin at?

I see the last shot was at Iso 200, so if you wanted more for the motion blur in the clouds as well as better clarity you could have used Iso 100 with twice the shutter speed
