Which Digital Camera Do you Own? Recommendations for SLRs?
Any input on good digital cameras that you own and would recommend is appreciated. Specifically, I'm looking at the single lens reflex digital cameras (ie Nikon D100 Sony; Cyber Shot DSC F717).
Thx,
Dave
I had the Sony F717, decent camera, actually pretty good if you can still buy it, maybe the best Point and shoot you can find on the market for its price. Its a bit cumbersome, but it has an amazing lense.
I also have the Canon Digital Rebel 300D, excellent camera too, the lense is ok, if you know a place in your town where you can rent lenses for cheap then you're all set.
www.dpreview.com They have lots of reviews and VERY in depth, more than any of us here could probably tell you.
Personally
We use a Canon 20D at work, thing is amazing. Best part about the canons is that their digital and 35mm lenses are all interchangeable. We also have a Nikon D100 SLR. It is good as well but not as good as the Canon.
I was talking to this girl at my girls sisters wedding and she just bought a Rebel SLR which she said she loves. That is more of an entry level SLR at only around $900 or so but has received some good marks.
These are your typical medium to higher level digital SLR's. There are some outrageous ones out there but I think Canon is the best under $2500.
Good Luck!

any noob asking about SLRS shouldnt get anythiing better than a Rebel.....thats what its for, for noobs, and, more importantly, it doesnt take nooblike photos, same sensor as 10D, i use a rebel, and ive done professional prints. came out VERY nice.

| Originally posted by kamil WRONG. A SLR is a single lens reflex camera. Light coming into the camera through the lens that takes pictures is reflected up by a mirror behind the lens onto a ground glass screen above. You look at this screen through the viewfinder and a 5 sided glass prism (a pentaprism) is used to turn the image the correct way round. so, does the F717 have a mirror? No, i didnt think so... ps. PWNED. |
its ONLY SLR like.....trust me, i get payed for photography.
SLR = Single Lens Reflex
meaning, it needs a mirror, meaning SLRs use a mirror, therefor, anything that isnt "single lens reflex" is not an SLR.

| Originally posted by PeacefulWarrior How�s the resolution and exposure metering on the rebel? Are there problems with the lens conversion factor on the canons if you use older canon lenses? Do you own the D60? I was checking out the D100 but it's a little steep at $1000 just for the body. Thx |
PeacefulWarrior:
everything is exactly same as the rebel as on the 10D, except: slower fps, no spot metering, no 3200ISO (i think 10D has it), no AI-Servo, and no temperature controls. Basically, you wont really NEED those extra features, theyre nice, but not a necessity.

AFAIK the 300D has AI Servo...it just switchis between it and one shot automatically (doesnt let you choose) which can be a bitch...
You guys should stfu and try to help this guy out instead of comparing photo penors.
