Well on another forum i frequent a member brought a good thread about taking pictures and asking how and what cameras to use. And examples of pictures taken by fellow members and the camera they used.
So here's my submission: Following pictures were taken with my Konica Minolta Dimage X60 5MP + 12" Mini Tripod. (http://www.steves-digicams.com/2005_reviews/x60.html) ***Tips: Play w/ angles, try taking a picture from ground level (on the floor), use Photoshop only to adjust lighting (contrast/brightness), try not to use flash when in dark situations try using artificial lighting, get a tripod (no matter what size) steadiness counts, to get those light streaks at night dont use flash and have a steady shot, good practice is taking pictures of inanimate objects, that's all ive got in my photo snapping arsenal*** (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/PICT3772-1.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/PICT3771-1.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/PICT3780.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/PICT3768.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/PICT3767.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/Azusadownhill2-1.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/PICT3680.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/AzusaDrift.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/JPnDLO914.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/HachiModel.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/Targa.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/IMG_3601-2.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/PICT0022.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/TeamNarpSM.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/PICT0404-1.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/PICT0045.jpg) (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/danlo830/PICT0008.jpg) |

It's been 10 years since I packed up my Nikon FG and put it on the shelf. Recently, I've been thinking about getting a DSLR. I already have a Canon point and shoot (which I hate), as well as a 'tween' camera Canon S2IS (which I love), but it's still no SLR. Speed and flexibility are the main things I miss. A DSLR would not replace those, but rather supplement them depending on conditions.
I noticed that Nikon has retained compability with their old F-mount lens system, so Nikon would be a natural choice for me because I could use my 50mm and 70-210 Nikon lenses (all manual focus). I looked at the D40x and the D80 the other day. I actually preferred the D40X due to it's smaller size & weight & simplicity. The D80 was simply overwhelming - and truthfully, the D40X was a bit overwhelming too. Neither of these cameras was intuitive and both would take a thorough reading of the owners manual to begin to understand. Then I looked online. I was very surprised at the price differences. I mean, a D80 with Nikon 28-80 and 70-300 lenses for just over $600?? D80 package This seems unbelieveably cheap. But the store is highly rated, says everything is new with full US warranties, etc, etc. The D40X actually costs more at this store, so it makes it awfully hard to justify buying the D40X over the D80. Actually, the D40 might be a possibilty since I'm not sold on the concept that more megapixels is always better. I know my limitations when it comes to photography. I don't need a high-end camera. My SLR's have always been 'entry level' and that has always met my needs. I prefer simplicity over tons of features I will never use. If I could buy a digital version of my old FG, I would do it in a second. So simple to use, yet still flexible. Any thoughts? |
