Anyone else have a dSLR?

[Bighat]

Yes, bought a Cannon EOS 400D a couple of months ago, but used it only today for the first time.

Used to take a LOT of pictures a few years ago (mainly of aeroplanes), but today was taking some shots for publicity purposes.

Used it on full auto (haven't had time to read the handbook) and was very impressed with the results. The weather was dull/overcast.

Definately the camera for the lazy or incompetant!

Can you upload some to the net so I and others can see what the 400D can do?

 

[PeterH]

ive got 2 x D200 and a D2X with 50mm 18-70mm and 18-200mm its a lot to carry about

 

[Wayfarer Sam]

I use a EOS 400D. Its is not good for railway photography on fully auto mode. I use manual at all times. Example images can be found on my site (see below)

I'm currently using a Pentax K10D DSLR with an 18-55mm and a 70-300mm lens, a fab camera with plenty of functions etc.

I upgraded from a Fujifinepix S5000 (3mp)bridge camera to a Samsung NV-7(7.2mp) super compact, (excellent camera still used) and now to the one above which i shall keep for quite a few years.

The Fuji ones are a great start to take you up to a DSLR.

Is that the one Under £300?

 

[David]

Nope, that's the top of the range model. Body only is something like £450 (cheapest I could find, and that was an offer)

 

[kestrel]

i think you can get the K100D for about £300 pretty good 6mp camera tho

 

[petethetim]

Thanks I've lost touch a bit since I was Ill , I bought myself a Fuji 9500 ,last year & only got to use it last month for the first time , But in the hope that my health improves I'm gonna hold on to My D100 ,E20 & Fuji Pro s3 as selling them second hand is not worth it & trade in would be even less attractive

 

[petethetim]

I see the 100D has went well over £300 again I recall in August Jessops & few others doing it for £229- 249 was that just an intro price ?

Is that one of the stores that is closing? If so, then everything would be reduced. That's the main reason I bought 2 new lenses for my camera from the Jessops here.

 

[petethetim]

NO I saw it in several places but Jessops were doing it for 249 & others were as low as 229

I bought an EOS 400D in June when the cashback offer was on. Bought a 90-300mm lens a couple of weeks back. still got my Nikon Coolpix 4200 though... its small enough to come with me to work!

 

[Snapper]

Nikon D2X

 

[petethetim]

I see they have a d300 coming out

oh by the way Sorry For Not Replying sooner I was in A&E most of yesterday as my health as took a bit of a nose dive again.

Yes, just treated myself to an Olympus E-510. It felt 'just right' in my hand in the shop and reminded me of my glorious OM-10 from the 80's. I'm starting to experiment with it at the moment...

Wonderful cameras Olympus'. I have an E500, wonderful thing, especially with the dust reduction system, and the 2.5" Hyper Crystal LCD screen, my photos look better on the camera!

Glad to hear it because Dust on the sensor was a bugger on both the Fuji Pro S1 & S2

My dad's Pentax K100D has that problem, I laugh at him

Has the E510 got the pop-out LCD? That looked a tidy gadget.

my old Olympus E-20 had a tilt able screen but not sure about the E400/ 500 range

 

[Demps]

i use a 20d grip and canon 10-22, but its mostly a workhorse setup, drains, sewers, dust, high things, (rephrased as it actually is in pretty ok nik) so it has the odd scratch, but she's a good old gal.

Also use a 400D + 17-85mm f/4.0-5.6 IS lens. Getting a battery grip and 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens next
Quality lenses, wont buy any other lenses other than those!

Not at all.

Its basically a compact with a 'big lens'

@ Class 313 - absolutely love it. I'd certainly recommend the E-510 to anyone.

I'd second that without a doubt
