| | | Posted by awsed I've been rocking the canon 5d for the last few years. For a petite female like me, the body and lens feel like a huge BEAST. It's big, heavy and totally conspicuous. It's really hard to be quick, quiet and nimble if you're taking photos with this thing in tow just due to the size and weight. I try to be careful not to break it, so that slows me down a bit because I don't just throw it in a bag and I try not to run or play too rough with it. But it's fucking solid and works awesome, so I put up with the heft of it. I would love something smaller and more compact but the full frame sensor is where it's at (for me, at least!) |
Maybe you need to buy a smaller plastic Rebel for those non-photographical-intent outings or a small G11 to pocket? | | | Posted by Mr. Fuzzy or a small G11 to pocket? |
| | | | | Posted by Sledgy Has anyone here had any experience shooting UE with a Nikon d3s?? Im a few weeks away from ordering one with a handy 14-24m f/2.8 but was just curious to see if anyones used one specifically for urbex purposes. Cheers |

| | | | | Posted by misstinavicious Someone showed me this website with used camera bodies. I'm trying to buy my first DSLR, I found a couple that are in my price range can anybody give me any advice on which one would be a good decision or not? One of these bodies http://www.keh.com...C029991148020?r=FE http://www.keh.com...C029990450080?r=FE http://www.keh.com...C029990711900?r=FE http://www.keh.com...C029990585330?r=FE And this lens. http://www.keh.com...0799907852205?r=FE Thanks! |
| | | Posted by Byberrian Fanman So.. what is your price range, exactly? To add: Every single body you have described is a baaaad idea. The lens is an even shittier idea, as not only does it fucking SUCK, it will not even work with the 10D, D60 or D30 as these bodies will only accept full-frame EF lenses, NOT EF-S. These ancient bodies were based on film bodies with full-size mirrors which will strike the protruding rear of an EF-S lens. |
| | | Posted by misstinavicious I see what you mean, my price range is about 300 dollars so I'm trying to find something decent in that price range. |

| | | Posted by Sledgy So long as that desert has shit to photograph i'll be down with that. Just leave me some food and all shall be sweet |
| | | | | Posted by Mr. Fuzzy It's kinda like buying a car (buying a camera). You could buy a brand new car (60D, XS, etc), or a 1990's or 1980's model still in decent shape that will get you around just fine (30D, XTi). But for good to ok quality there's a line where you don't want to go too far back and cross, let's say buying a 1960's car for a daily driver (D30, D60 which came out waaaaay back in 2000 and 2002 resp). Another choice to consider is one of the (more modern) higher-end point and shoots with DSLR features (say, a Canon SX10 or 20, G-series, or even an older S5 or S3). They're decent alternatives, but more importantly you may be able to find a used one within your budget and still get good results. That is, unless you really need the interchangeable lens capability or cleaner high ISOs a DSLR can offer (among other things). In that case, an XTi or better would be a wiser choice. Even though it's a kit lens, the 18-55 **with IS** is better optically than the one *without* IS that you were looking at. |
