Posted by Billy So I have been using a Sony Cybershot T-100 and a Canon S5 IS for about the last two years between the two for my exploring, and I am finally getting to where just having pictures despite quality isn't enough for me! I want pictures that arn't grainy, that I didn't have to take six times to get a good clear one, or that look good on the 2 inch LCD screen, but when I get home I find are blurryish or just plain not that well. I'm tired of point and shoot at 8 mega pixels damn it! So i've decided to take it up a notch. I was wondering if anyone had any pointers, tips, personal stories of trial and error, encouragement, discouragement, anything. |
Posted by turbozutek What the hell is this? Since this comes up about once every 3 days, from now on new threads about camera recommendations will be merged into here. Hopefully this will encourage people to read through the existing recommendations instead of posting a brand new shiny thread. The original thread is here: http://www.uer.ca/...d=20001&currpage=1 and this one serves as an updated version, with advice relating to more current models of camera. |
Posted by AnAppleSnail DSLR Catechism Best advice ever. |
Posted by Billy Ah man I apologize. I didn't do any searching really, just on a couple pages on the forum. I should have used that nifty search function. Don't hate me? |
Posted by phrenzee Being a dedicated Pentaxian, I would love to buy this, but will have to wait until it comes down in price a little. Pentax reveals 40MP DSLR monster, the 645D |
Posted by ElExplorador So, how do I know when a camera is obsolete? I see lots of cameras on craigslist in my area for around 200-300, which is my range, but I can't tell what good they are because reviews seem to be so dated. It seems a 10D or a rebel w/lens for under 300 is market price for entry level, but is this a good price for a worthwhile camera, or would I quickly discover that I would have been better off saving the money and getting something more expensive later on? |
Posted by AnAppleSnail Dig for comparisons. AF, noise, and white balance can be 'dated.' The lens sometimes is. |

Posted by ElExplorador How do you mean, dated? |
Posted by ElExplorador Good to know. Manual focus would probably be preferable in most instances anyways just so you can get exactly the shot you want, no? |
