so i did a lil read up on the Canon T1i/500D

on paper it seem to be on par with a 40D give or take 1 or 2 features...

who care to give an input

who care to give an input

The T1i has the digic 4 processor like the 50D
but its much slower than the 40D even though the 40D has a Digic 3.
the 40D shoots at 6.5 frames per second in burst mode
The T1i is only 3.5 frames

Unlike pro (1D, 5D) and semi pro (20D, 30D, 40D and 50D) SLR cameras the T1i has no LCD display for settings - you get everything on the main playback screen which makes it cumbersome for quick use.

The T1i has HD video though with mono audio - which is very cool.
Only the 5D Mark II has video - but a 5D Mark II is 21 mega pixel and costs US$3000.00 for the body alone without a lens and flash.

The 50D and T1i are both 15 mega pixel, but because of its small size (just like the other Rebels) the T1i has gaps in its censor while the 50D is gapless.

Does anyone really use the LCD displays?
I hardly do.

Postby **Duane 3NE 2NR** » May 4th, 2009, 2:25 pm

^ you hardly use it?
how do you see settings, shots left, battery life, white balance, drive, AF.
Yes some info shows up on the HUD in the view finder but not all

Aaron 2NR · Postby **Aaron 2NR** » May 4th, 2009, 2:33 pm

ok well i guess im gonna stick to the 40d idea lol..

ok lens choice now...

im thinking of buying the sigma that duane has for motorsport and everyday shooting...

i used this lens over the weekend...wow

EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM

i want a shorter lens for night photography for parties etc but the price tag for this lens is way outta my budget.....

Rensh post up some of your latest shots nah - long time you ent post nuttin!

Aaron2NR, L glass is always WOW

a 24-70mm f/2.8L might make more sense
16mm may be too wide to be shooting people

seriously though I think it might be a good idea to get a good 580 EX-II Speedlite flash and a flash mount grip and a good diffuser.

Lighting is important.

Aaron 2NR · Postby **Aaron 2NR** » May 4th, 2009, 2:49 pm

^ yea i would be buying that as well.....forgot to mention it before....

but other than the L series, is there any other lens that could be recommended

Postby **Duane 3NE 2NR** » May 4th, 2009, 3:20 pm

well the fastest one you can afford
meaning the one with the widest aperture you can afford

Rebelb14 · Postby **Rebelb14** » May 4th, 2009, 7:42 pm

Some shots with my first ever camera.......lol a Canon 590 IS. I use a rebel xt in work, but not in the big leagues as yet so this was the best camera i could get. decent point and shoot with potential nuff features....
Date on pics wrong was trying out different settings and didnt realise they came up with crtain ones.

what u guys think?

Duane 3NE 2NR, ok so change in plan...im thinking about keeping the XTi for a while and buy

or

over the next couple months....i just need to get someone to walk it thru because skybox would buss my head with taxes....the sigma may be able to come thru the skybox without much taxes

and prob at the end of the year ill purchase the 40d or 50d....

Yup, he used Sigma 10-20 wide angle lens. He said so a few pages back.This lens easily gives a shallow DOF, so i'm guessing he stepped down quite a bit. Plus a 50D body would help :lol:

Would be nice he posts the settings.

Hmm, maybe is my connection, because Mutt's shots are loading only partially.

Aaron, there's a Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 and a 70-200mm f/2.8, that give similiar results to the L-glass, but is not sealed as well, hence cheaper. Of course it's not L-glass.
Have a look:
