ParticipantI like the sub shot.
Mofo: That works… It’s weird but it works.
ParticipantI’m still uploading photos to flickr. It’s my theme you would think I would know what I am gonna use 😉
ParticipantI would agree with the Nikon D40 as a good choice, so is the Rebel.. However in my opinion the best value in “entry level” DSLR is the Olympus E520 w/ the 2 lens kit.
How can you beat this deal?
The camera is very very good. I owned one before I switched to Canon. I started out with an E 500 which I absolutely loved.
The Zuiko lenses are very good quality and not terribly expensive because unlike Nikon or Canon the IS is in the camera body.
The only con I can think of with this camera is that unlike my E 500 it is very small. I am a big dude with big hands and really wasn’t comfortable using it. Had I known that Oly was coming out with the E30 I probably would have stayed with them or maybe I should have bought an E3 since it was the same price as my 40D
Those packages are usually scams.
I bought from 17th st Photo before. They are on the up & up.
Thats about the price Circuit city had the package for before they closed.ParticipantI would agree with the Nikon D40 as a good choice, so is the Rebel.. However in my opinion the best value in “entry level” DSLR is the Olympus E520 w/ the 2 lens kit.

ParticipantShow what keeps us apart.
I was leaning towards this aspect of it for at least one, possibly more of my shots. It’s none of the specific examples, but defintely fits this part of the description. Although, if need be, I can recompose my shots to include items off the list. It is NBD‘s theme, so…..
I’m pretty flexible.
ParticipantI have a question: does a screened window count? I have a picture of a cat that is very clearly behind the screen of a window.
“Stone walls, fences, borders, gates, doors, moats”
I don’t really think windows fall into those categories, but if the window screen is keeping the cat out? hmm..I don’t know. Anyone else?
ParticipantThanks everyone!!
*High fives myself*
My lil hummie beat sooshs eagle?
I feel so validated! *sniff*
ParticipantIMHO the best dslr on the market right now is the Canon 5D mark II.
Nah, the D700. But I guess if you have to shoot Canon the 5D mk II will have to do.
I just made a decision between those two systems. It seems to me that either way, the photographer would be very happy. The Canon and Nikon seem to have very close performance ISO wise. The Canon brings a kajillion pixels and 1080P video; Nikon has superb AF. It probably depends on a particular photographer’s typical camera use and likely subjects.
/anyone want to buy some Canon lenses?
What do you have?

FTFY 😀
ParticipantNice camera, too bad it’s a Nikon 😉
I’v read some reviews and like you said they are all glowing.
However…

The high ISO capabilities of this camera are amazing. ISO 3200 looks like 400
Also it is 1/2 the price of a D3 and 1/3 a D3xPennies are going into the savings jar as we speak.
ParticipantI gave up on trying to guess the voters long ago. I post what I like and if y’all don’t like em “F” ya!
Just kidding! please like my photos!! Please!!!
ParticipantMillera9. Yours suck almost as badly as soosh’s.
/oh yeah. today is Opposite Day
Ni kidding…
I thought I had some good ones for this week, now I’m embarrassed to show them!
ParticipantAnd welcome to the party, Steamboat!
Party?!? No body tole me about no party!!! 😯
Participantfrom sigma’ site Optimized for digital SLR cameras so it seems the previous owner can’t use the internets*. but that worked out well for you since that site also has a MSRP of $750 USD.
*except for ebay.
nice shots so far.
and speaking of not knowing things, it wasn’t until i read the specs for that lens that i found out lenses now come with one F stop though out their zoom range.
The seller was supposed to be a photo shop. Guess they are not a very good one. Reading the feedback there was a lot of comments to the effect that they were not very up on digital. I paid $650 for the one I took back so I think it’s worth $200 for a used one that seems to be a good copy.
I took a few shots today at the cemetery and so far am liking the sharpness of this lens. I did notice that it does not like focusing at 70mm with all the focus points activated. I think that is my camera though as it is always a bit skittish with faster lenses.
ParticipantWow! That’s frigging awesome
