Digital SLR Camera discussion thread
Just like "filmers discussion thread" but for Digital SLR cameras. I'll start: Well, I am thinking of buying a Digital SLR camera sometime. But want to research what is best and learn more about it. How is the Canon Powershot S5 IS? I wanna pay like $400 at the very most. I'm quite new, so...just help me out on what's best and all.

This is probably the wrong forum for it, maybe just conversation would be more appopriate. Having said that, I hope Gilby keeps it on RSU. I think it's something lot's of unicyclists are interested in (getting good riding shots). Look forward to seeing some of the replies. I'm saving up for a digital SLR myself.

Are you certain that the Canon you quote is an SLR? It looks to me that it is a regular digital in the style of an SLR, nothing wrong with that, my Fuji camera is exactly that type of thing and I have been perfectly happy with that for several years. I believe that the SLR Canons are branded EOS rather than Powershot. -- ian.stockwell All generalisations are dangerous, even this one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ian.stockwell's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12265 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/72609 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

A digital SLR (Single Lens Reflex) camera would cost a lot more than $400. Take a look at the Canon PowerShot A620. I have one and it takes great unicycling photos. I bought mine 2 years ago for $337 US. That included shipping. -- Wheel Rider A man can fail many times but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame someone else. - Waite Phillips The art of medicine consists of keeping the patient amused while nature heals the disease. - Voltaire ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wheel Rider's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10656 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/72609 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Is that not a Nikon, the Nixon will probably look fine to start with and then do something underhand and illegal. -- ian.stockwell All generalisations are dangerous, even this one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ian.stockwell's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12265 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/72609 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

isaac steiner wrote: Yeah, now I am really wanting the Nixon D40. http://tinyurl.com/6nwwo5 How is that? -Isaac The Nikon D40 is a great camera. I bought one almost a year ago, and have found it fantastic. As an entry level DSLR it is perfect. Ok, 6mp isn't that high compared to some cameras, and there are some natty little features it doesn't have, but I'd still recommend one to anyone looking in to getting in to photography. I'll point out though that I'm not a great photographer myself - however, with this camera it makes me look like I know what I'm doing and turns out really good results too Just to keep this on topic for RSU, have a look at some of the photos I took at Ride The Lobster with this camera; http://tinyurl.com/6k95fb Edit: Some of those photos were taken with a bigger lens than the standard 18-55mm it comes with. I bought a 200 and a 300mm zoom lens, which I used for the eagle and moon shots.

isaac steiner wrote: Yeah, now I am really wanting the Nixon D40. http://tinyurl.com/6nwwo5 How is that? -Isaac That is a great camera for the price, however, in today's standards it has a rather low pixel count. I would also recommend looking at BH Photo rather than somewhere like BestBuy. True camera stores have much more background knowledge. -- oneisenough Plaeze x-cuze mi spelin' (If its wrong) 'Youtube' (http://www.youtube.com/user/RookieFilming) 'Vimeo' (http://www.vimeo.com/user496125) The UniSLAB wrote: Go big or go home, don worry about those little clown tricks called flips and wrap arounds.

So the Nikon D40 is a good choice.

It had a good review in the local paper. http://tinyurl.com/5g5wum But over here in Aussie...it costs almost twice as much. I think I might be getting a Panasonic TZ15 as a point and shoot camera and maybe the Sony DSLR or a Canon. -- GizmoDuck The Uninam Tour 2008.....Hanoi to Saigon!!! www.uninam.net The SINZ Unicycle Tour 2007....South Island, New Zealand www.sinzuni.org The Induni Unicycle Tour 2009.
