Posted by RazWhir Okay, practically everything I've found, and most of what people here are saying, is that the T2i's probably my best bet. As this will be the first DSLR I actually own, however, I know nothing about buying lenses. I don't even know where to start, TBH. Help? |
Posted by AnAppleSnail Start with the kit lens, and buy the fixed-focal length 50mm (No zoom, very sharp in low light) or a wide angle lens, maybe. |
Posted by Adv.Pack Yeah. BUT even a used 5D Mark 1 goes for $500 more than a new T2i. Let alone the Mark 2 which goes used for $1500 more. |
Posted by budda No digital camera is a dinosaur until they make a phone camera with a higher megapixel count. |
Posted by Shawn W. The upcoming Droid X has an 8MP camera. |
Posted by budda I was speaking more of your average phone. Most i've seen range in 1.3-3.5 mp. |

Posted by budda So i think a better rule is if your camera uses one of these it's a dinosaur http://www.olympus...B-SmartMedia_m.jpg [/eimg] |
Posted by cincysteel I will be moving from the Cincinnati area at the end of July and have to give back the DSLR I have been using for the past year. I can't afford a brand new one but am looking to spend on a used if anyone knows of one or is ready to let one go themselves. I am moving to DC but will pay shipping if necessary. I realize this is a longshot but I thought I'd throw it out there. Thanks all. |
Posted by mastrpwnage I would like to upgrade my fuji p&s to a dslr in a month or so... Right now i'm leaning towards the canon XS with lens kit (18-55 IS) but i've also been looking into the nikon D3000 but the canon seems to have better compatibility with lenses. Any thoughts or better cameras out there in the same price range? Thanks. |
