| I just ordered a Nikon D80 with the 18-135mm lens, and was wondering what equipment you have to take pictures with. |
| i have an eos 400d with a Tamron AF 18-250 mm Di-II lens, it's good but doesn't have an image stabilization. i also have a UV filter, not really needed, i just use this so that my lens won't have to deal much with the dust. hmmm.. what else.. a tripod perhaps? i had the velbon sherpa 600r but i haven't use this for photography yet. i want to add an external flash on my wishlist, i realized that it's actually very useful. |
/spoiler]
| If I'm right those are manual SLR's? |
| yes the Canon has an aperture priority program, and the Zenit is completely manual all metal hammer. |
| I have a cheap Pentax Optio60 camera >__> |

I have a Sony Cyber-shot DSCT33 and there is something wrong with it at the moment, I need to take it in to get repaired. One day I'll be rich and buy myself a Nikon D50 or something along those lines. I don't have a SLR either you know! :O |

You could have the most modern camera and not see the picture possibilities. I see picture possibilities in many things. I see pictures all the time. I think like this." - Alfred Eisenstaedt i always get told like that too. its an awesome quote and it stays in my brain all the time.. even if you have the most coolestawesomestnicestmostexpensivegadget it wont make a different if you dont have the eyes.. :o |

| I have a Canon Rebel XTi...it's about a year old now, but it's my baby. X) Got a nice macro lens for Christmas, and I'm hoping to get a decent telephoto soon, too. I also have a couple point-and-shoot digitals and an old T70 that, sadly, doesn't see much action anymore. |

| I don't have manual cameras and/or SLRs. I only have a digital automatic Kodak C340. It would be a waste of money to buy good camera when I am the amateur of all amateurs! I am still learning. It would be great then if some of you more experienced people will share some tips on photography. |
     |
| I tried to share interesting parts of some books I've read but I have to admit I'm a failure as translator so unless you understand Spanish I won't be of much help. |
| I have a Canon Rebel XTi ^^ Now a new one's coming out though, the XSi x__X |
| My camera is a Casio Exilim Z110. It's a simple point and shoot digital camera that I bought in 2006. Up until last month, it didn't have a bag so it has many scratches now... XD It was my first camera... and I love it <3 and I named it "Ami" |
     |
| Awesome ancient cam :3 |
| It's pretty old, with film and stuff.... |

| I have a few questions for you guys and would really appreciate any feedback on this^^ So I have been thinking lots lately about getting a new camera and i would like to buy my first DSLR. I have never used an SLR camera before so this will be my first time using it. My questions are: Do you think the Nikon D40 would be a good buy for a first DSLR camera or should i start with the D80? I've heard that it's better to start with the D40 because it's really easy to use, and i don't really want to spend tons of money for my first DSLR, so do you think I'd be happy with the D40 if i got it? |
| I think you would get really happy with a d40. I doubt that you will see much difference in the pictures whether you shoot it with a d40 or a d80, only if you go pixel peeping, or if you like to crop your pictures a lot. The only reason to get a d80 over the d40 is the ergonomics and the possibility of using older lenses on it and some of the built in features, it might also be faster and a bit better in focus speed. If you can find a d40x or a d40 for an affordable price get it - I'm sure you'll get happy. |
| Mine is the Fuji Finepix z200fd |
 |
| Canon EOS-1D. OLD. But it still rocks someway. |
| I've had my Canon PowerShot S5 IS for more than a year now and I still like it a lot. The way the LCD can be rotated and placed pretty much however I want it is a big plus. It also has great video recording for a regular camera from that time. I have extended the functionality with some add-on lenses and stuff which allows me greater flexibility for a not too high cost (read: without having to go DSLR). ^^ The successors are out in stores now with improved zoom, better LCD, better sensor, full-HD video, and more, but I can't say that they are worth switching up to at the moment. I'm still learning my camera and am improving my photography little by little. :) |
