/geek.

where'd ya get those bulbs from?

 

thats a good question tim, but i have no clue.haha there is a kiler deal right now for the nikon D40 at circuit city, going for $539

 

Hmmm seems like a deal. Damnit I may have to check it out.

 

Guess I'm gonna try to get some sleep.. later guys.

I heard that DSLR lens can cost just asmuch as the camera if not more.......hmmm perhaps I won 't check into that deal....haha

oh ok, it's a baby dslr. My buddy's d200 did not come with a lens. His lens cost $1600.

 

yes its a baby dslr...**** that, im not trrying to spend that much on a lens or the nikon D200, im no pro...this is for the baby, and my car of course.

 

this is definetly an upgrade from my sony cybershot 3.2 megapixel

 

Remember that you can't use the lcd as a view finder on dslr's. Oh and no movie mode.

 

i know, thats why i still have my cybershot for, the mpeg is pretty good for what it is..i used it to shoot all my exhaust videos

 

I need a new camera also. My canon s230 finally crapped out.

 

dslr lens' range from around 300 to 10,000s depending on what your're looking for

an average f2.8 zoom lens will cost you around 2 grand

an average f4.5 zoom lens will most likely be below 1000 dollars

while fstop is important you should also look at things like focus speed and image stabilization

your image quality will mostly come from better optics of the lens while the camera body will help with features like flash and supported mega pixels

the main difference between a DSLR and a regular point and shoot, aside from obvious features and the ability to swap out the glass is that DSLR photos are unprocessed while most point and shoots nowadays have built in software to adjust the image IN camera such as saturation and contrast. While with DSLR photos you have to touch up with photoshop to get certain desired effects.

Also Its great to show in RAW format



Edit: the D40 is a great beginners camera since its simpler while still being able to use highend nikon lenses, if you want to do some amatuer photography i'd suggest it or the canon rebel xt

 

Good info. Thx

 

thats me, amateur!

 

Your losing your agility

 

Never!!!

 

well, once again, that sleep didn't last long..sigh.
