I went ahead and traded my Rebel XT in for a 30D body. The XT just felt to small in my hands, the 30D on the other hand is the perfect size for me.
Currently a crappy Olympus D425. It's 4.0mp and only has digital zoom But... I hope to be getting a Nikon Coolpix S7c for christmas!
I use a 1d mkIIN , 1D, 20D and a miriad of lenses from 24mm to 600mm, but most of my reptile images are shot with a old 4mp fuji A340(light and simple)
Here are some of the pictures I am rockin with my Canon Powershot A620. All stock. All of those photos have been resized and compressed to fit onto photobucket without losing the actual size of the photo, so the resolution isn' as good as it is in the original photo. I can't imagine myself needing any better pictures than those unless I was getting paid a lot of money to take them. And that camera only cost me about 300 bucks. -Ans-
I have: Canon Rebel XT 8 mp 70-300mm Tamron tele-macro 18-55mm canon Canon A640 10mp And a mini studio set up in my front room. XD
I have a Konica Minolta Maxxum 5d KM Maxxum 7 KM 18-70mm Quantaray 100-300mm Tamron 28-105mm Tamron 28-90mm (I think lol)
I'm working on one I like the canon 100mm, but I also want a lens to replace the kit. The 100-400mm is a beast!
the 100 is a great lens. A CHEAP,yet good, lens I have as a kit lens is the tokina 28-70F2.8(3 YEARS OLD). I find the 100-400 to be a treat over my big guns(600f4). A 1D/100-400 is my walk around camera, though I have no time to shoot anymore lately.
Right now i am using a Nikon D70s SLR body with a couple different lenses. I am thinking about Making the switch to the new Cannon Rebel XT due to the smaller more compact size as i tend to do longer hiking trips than i used to and the D70s body with my 3 lenses is to much to carry around the body is just to bulky. How do you think the cannon performs compared to my D70s?
I'm looking at getting into dslr but can't find a comparison between the canon rebel xt/EOS 350D and the nikon d50 that isnt just people saying 'its great, buy it'. i was wondering, esp for reptile photos if there was any great pref here?
I would go with the Rebel XTi. I recently used the Nikon D70s and just today picked myself up a Rebel XTi and i LOVE IT!!
I use a nikon D50 digital camera with a 18-55mm and a 55-200mm zoom lens Both Nikkor DS lenses. although my 18-55 as went awhal since my trip... grrrr.. hopefully its hiding in hubbies truck. I really want to get a macro lens, and longer lens too.
