Actually was originally going with a rebel t4i but I'm ordering it and they had a recall of some and if I got a lemon I wouldn't have time to get it sent back before my mule comes in, so I decided on a Nikon initially the d3200 but I plan on using it for a while and decided that I rather have the flip screen option and not use it that to need it later and don't have it, so then the options became the 5100 or 5200. Taking cost out of the equation between these two which would you guys choose or so similar can't go wrong either way.

this ugly boy is me, using old ass D80 and with good-ish glass






this is my brother using the same D80, just that he can make it sing. " i'm an artist, give me a tuba, i'll bring you something out of it"

DOh study it pardna - your pics just go to show that you don't need the latest and greatest camera to take good pictures.... I myself have a USED D200 (bought off EBay UK) which is the same generation as your D80 (both are 2006-era).

Case in point:


Taken with D200 and Nikon 50mm f/1.8 AF-D (camera made in 2006, lens made in 2002)





Same D200 camera and an older Sigma 70-210mm f4.0-4.6 AF-D which was made in 1991



Glass is more important than body, 99% of the time.
Go take that D80, buy yourself a nice prime like the 50mm or the 35mm.... and show that ol' camera a good time!!

[.:PROZAC:..]

Yups been using 35, 50 70 primes and the 10-20 for wildness. We've had the D80 for a few 4 years now and with the price reduction on the D7000 , this seems like the next step.

ptsshhhh.... d7000...


dude for spite i go buy a used D50 and shoot the fack out of it


but imo the D7000 is a VERY good enthusiast camera. Used one the other day from some dude who was taking family pics.... very smooth and quiet, same ol' legendary nikon ergonomics. Too bad he had on an older Nikon 70-300 G lens, didn't take full advantage of the camera's amazing sensor.


I myself am considering either a D7000 or a used D300s as my next upgrade.... or maybe a used D3!!! (dun-dun-dunnnn!!! :-O )

I personally think the flippy screen is great for portraits where you need to use your remote and be in the picture. Beats running back to the camera and checking after every shot.

[.:PROZAC:..]

Brother has been doing some of these. We're kind of limited to only when we can get back to Trinidad.
So this December he took a few, as did I. We then realised most of the pictures were taken in the front porch.
This is a 20 year old shot, Great for outdoor ones where the background has changed.

You could have tried to match up the perspective as well... that is when these work best.

[.:PROZAC:..]

dude it's harder than it looks without a tripod.

[RBphoto]

I know it hard.. you need to recreate the original shot, use a wider lens, then insert the photo in the exact spot.to be saemless... lots of work to be done right.

[.:PROZAC:..]

That's right. Well this trip we didn't bring any camera or gear. We had to depend on dad's dinky D200 and the kit 18-55. For what it was, didn't come out too bad.

Dslr in one hand and keeping that photo level in the other? Bloody hell man

Nice shot, woulda look real boss from a lower angle with the camera looking up at the runner..

heats.25.01.13-11 by photo by KiD, on Flickr

Not bad... if u had waited a split second later you could have gotten the runners a little further down the track and gotten those ppl out of the background, get some nice separation ans focus on the runners.

[stikid09]

Thanks for the comments :3
I got this one further down although bit unfocused.

guys, I have a piece of dust on my sensor I cannot get off at all.

Remember the spot that I mentioned a few pages back? well I got rid of that! *phew*

Now I have this new piece of dust on the lens and no matter what I try (rocket blower & lens pen) btw... thought on the lens pen?

The dust is not goingggg...

At least its not showing up in the pictures now. Just annoying to see when I peep through the viewfinder.

It's on the focus screen most likely. Best to just live with it, if it really bugging you check the video. Use gloves (not powdered) and be very careful to only handle it by the little piece of plastic jotting out the bottom. Changed the one in my t2i. The 50d's should be easier to remove.

Never used a canon

They based on the same mold as the 580 ex II. For the price, they are awesome and the YN565 I have works flawlessly. Its pretty solid and feels well made. Same with the yn560 II, however it does lack alot of features of the yn565. For the price, they are hard to beat.

wat lens u use to do the macro

wat lens u use to do the macro

18-55 on extension tubes. Eventually I hope to get a proper macro lens because shooting at f11 constantly and manual focusing is a pain :/
