| | | Posted by GORE You are probably right, I was referring to the fact that it is full frame camera so you would need full frame lenses unless you don't mind cropping a bit. I should have been more clear. |

| | | | | Posted by Miles- Its a good set up, but for UE, you should also get a prime lens like the Nikon Nikkor 35 mm - F/1.8 As its the cheapest new prime lens you can get that will auto-focus with the d5000. |
| | | Posted by Ogre Battle You'll need a wider lens, sooner rather than later, particularly for "exploration". I often use a 12-24mm zoom but it might be more than you want to spend right away. If cost is an issue, you might want to look at the 18-55 or 18-85 kit lenses as opposed to (or in addition to) the 55-200. |
| | | Posted by aaron_tamachi thank you very much there's been a ton on places I've wanted to go, but I didn't have the proper camera to do ue any justice. I'm excited to get this camera and lenses lol how much did you pay for your 12-24mm lens? Money isn't a huge issue, but then again Christmas is right around the corner so I should save some for family gifts too XD I'm in need of the best bang for my buck, but I've always believed you get what you pay for |

| | | Posted by Miles- Also, more megapixels don't exactly mean better, For example a point and shoot with 14 megapixels doesn't have better quality than my Nikon d200 that has 10.2. Prime lenses usually are sharper than zooms and they do much better in low light. |
| | | Posted by TheVicariousVadder too many megapixels on a small sensor results in increased noise or so I've heard. Though, I still haven't seen concrete evidence of this in dslrs but supposedly the t2i with it's 18mp will be much noisier than an XT or XTi with their 8,10 respective. |
| | | | | Posted by The Seeker Looking to Upgrade from my Canon 450D (XSi)... looking at the 7D... opinions...? |
| | | Posted by Washu What do you shoot (other than UE of course) and what do you find lacking in your 450D? I have a 7D and if I only shot UE then I would have gone with a 60D instead. The 7D is an awesome camera, but it's also expensive overkill for a lot of things. Look at the features of the T2i/60D/7D and see what best matches your needs. Depending on what lenses you have spending more of your budget on them might be wiser. |
and I shoot portraits every once in a while.. I ALWAYS shoot candids when im out with friends, I shoot a lot of sports stuff... mainly hockey... so the 7D seems my best bet... good ISO range, good noise reduction, good fps rate, it has video (although im personally not crazy about video) it has better, faster shutter speeds, a better shutter life, it has the DUAL processors... it's just overall, a FAR better camera then my XSi... and I have had my XSi more then long enough.. I just feel the need to upgrade, and i need to extra performance the 7D offers for shooting hockey. | | | Posted by The Seeker oh, trust me... I've done my research... and I shoot portraits every once in a while.. I ALWAYS shoot candids when im out with friends, I shoot a lot of sports stuff... mainly hockey... so the 7D seems my best bet... good ISO range, good noise reduction, good fps rate, it has video (although im personally not crazy about video) it has better, faster shutter speeds, a better shutter life, it has the DUAL processors... it's just overall, a FAR better camera then my XSi... and I have had my XSi more then long enough.. I just feel the need to upgrade, and i need to extra performance the 7D offers for shooting hockey.mayy sound a bit ridiculous to some.. but it certainly would NOT be overkill for me... I used the first one in Canada on Demo... been in love since.. I've just been trying to save up.. I already have 4 lenses as well... |
