I'm thinking of buying a DSLR, my ixus is great for on the fly pics but no good for professional type stuff. Anyhow I've been looking at the Fujifilm S9500 and the S7500, it seems the best for the money, although the fact that it doesnt take SD card is annoying (as i can get 1gb for a tenner). Anyhow I dont know much about DSLR's was just wondering what people thought, bare in mind I'm only looking to spend about £300 because i can't afford to pay £600 for a lush canon! |

Wait until you can afford something like the Canon 350D which you can pick up new for 450. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yeh pay the extra and go for the Canon. My girlfriend swears by hers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|

prepare to spend money on good glass a good body with mediochre-shit glass is going to make you unhappy. sacrifice a better body for better glass |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
glass? you mean lens right ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, sorry |
||||||||

|

GET A ROOM! |

Bollocks. You should never sacrifice on the body of a Digital SLR in favour of the 'glass'...the quality of the sensor is as important as the lense. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats why i like dthe look of the S9500 they seem to have put some real thought into the sensor! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also I've no intention of spending loads on a cam and then loads on a bunch of different lenses, i like photography but i don't need a whole array of lenses for it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wait until you're in Japan dude. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats where I'm gonna grab it. Cheaper out there :) They build em don't you know! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well then, you'll probably get some model we would either never see or wouldn't see for about 10 months and for about half the price. Get me a 100" TV while you're there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OK but you'll ahve to work out how to sneak it on the plane as hand luggage ;) actually i've been looking and for 100 yen (50p) i can get a mobile phone that ahs digital TV on it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ecnad, on a budget, a 350d or equiv will be PLENTY of sensor quality for him go full frame and youll need primes anyway vignetting + full frame sensor = will multiply the flaws in cheaper glass faster than 1.6x crop sensor. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
|

|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no experience with that, sorry |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, I agree with that. I thought you were saying it would be OK going sub 350D level on the body for better lense quality. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fuji compacts really suck. ha ha just look at that so called tilt screen, lol. seriously tho, the 9500 looks pretty ok. but go to dpreview.com instead of fujifilm.com. that said, i'd also say go for a 350d. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
please don't say 'lense'. it makes me itch. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think fuji is coming out with one that will do IR and UV as well. That would be hot doing IR with cheap filters = introduces a lot of noise i have yet to master it but then again ive only taken like 20 IR pictures total over the past couple years need to start it again |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
IR is fuckin' sweet. from what i've seen, modded canon G3 and G5's work really well for this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah exactely i dont have the funds to get a 10d or 300d and have it mod'd for IR only but ffast shutter speed IR would be soooo lush ugh 20second exposures make my nilly limp :( tripod required :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wtf is IR? Infra Red? Im a camera newb guys you ahve to bare that in mind, I'm new to all this hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it's infrared. http://www.kleptography.com/notes-irconvert.htm http://www.pbase.com/polloloco81/infrared |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
BTW what is HDR, i found some amazingly nice pics using HDR i imagine its some sort fo filter? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cameras have limited dynamic range (measured in stops of light) to keep it simple pointing your camera at the sun the camera isn't going to capture all the detail in the highlights and the shadows it only has a range it can account for hdr takes 2 images (say, one image exposed for the highlights (bright sky), and another image exposed for the shadows (say, trees, shadows, etc) then they are merged / layred on top of each other |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahhh, its ana amazing effect! gives real life to the pics! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll have to look into having a go! |
||||||||

I just found a Canon KISS with EF-S18-55mm F3.5-5.6 II USM lens on amazon jp for only £377! what a fucking bargain! I've no idea what the KISS is though it looks just like the EOS 300D Buy my ixus and I'll get it when i arrive! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no idea the kit lens is pretty soft (18-55) i'd suggest www.fredmiranda.com and www.dpreview.com i really like the FM forums go to the reviews section and start reading i wouldn't buy anything right away spend a week or 2 just sifting thru |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The KISS is actually the EOS 350D, admitedly teh lens isn't rated to high, but it might be a cheaper option untill i can afford a better lens than just buying the body, but then i dont know jack about lenses lol! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you dont want to spend the money for a canon, get a pentax, i hear good things about the brand, though i shoot a canon myself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a good starter lens if you go with the canon tamron 28-75 2.8 sharp sharp sharp build quality is OK, it's kinda loud AF, not the fastest AF (compared to L glass) but it is sharp as HELL most of the photos on my image dump were taken with it can't beat it for the price, like $300 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OOOOO Nikon D70 is only £270 BARGAIN! So now I'm torn between... £377 £270 £300 /head explodes! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
canon and nikon are both good, they will give you lots of room to grow. |
