Guest Stefkov Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 I use a Nikon D70, I love it to bits even though I think the technology in the camera is 5 years old now. Yeh your right about the tracks, I just saw a diggery/JCB type thing hanging around with no one near it, so up I went and took that snap. Ah the D70. What do you think of the new D60 and the 450D they announced in Feb? Worth the money if you're just starting or would it be wise to go for the 400D or D40X? I have a strong feeling I've asked this before but I just wanted to know your opinions on the new cameras. The new Canon uses SD cards instead of CF now but the D60 had some things different, I can't remember if it still uses those lenses the D40 can only use.
KKOB Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 What camera should i get? I'm pretty sure i want a nikkon, my mates been telling me to get a d100, but i want a more recent one for about £250. Any advice?
Fuzpoy Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Oh poops! It sounds like its not the hatfield near me, I knew it wouldn't be. I'll still check your photos out though! *Goes and sulks in a corner* Yup, very much not near you. Maybe these will cheer you up though, its just a few images that day, the ones i thought you'd like.
Maiky-NiSuTe Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 @ Maiky Youre camera is very good though, so I dont think you'd need photoshop! Oh! thanks Letty!! that looks awesome. i have photoshop on my computers (because our members said we need it on our systems and so i did) altough i realy rarely use it and when i do i dont know what i am realy doing. i sometimes use Level and the repair tools and that is about it ... >.< but you seem to have mastered it more than i do!! great jobe !!

The new Canon uses SD cards instead of CF now but the D60 had some things different, I can't remember if it still uses those lenses the D40 can only use. I didn't hear of the D60 till last week and from what I've read about it myself, it sounds as if you might as well same some money and grab a D40, not even the D40x. I haven't used a Canon DSLR, but they seem incredibly popular alot of my friends have the 400D. So I can't wait to try one of theirs out, I've always thought that the 350D/400D looked as if they were a toy the plastic just looks real cheap, but I really shouldn't judge a book by its cover, pictures ive seen people take with it, make it look a real good camera. I never went for the D40 / D40x because it just felt too small in my hand, Ideally I wanted the D80 but it was a little to expensive for a hobby I didn't know I was going to like. So I went on eBay and got my self a D70 for ?300 and I love the build quality, the size is just right, and everything is layed out just like it should be so it works a charm. I'm unsure what to purchase next, I'm thinking before I start buying more lenses to make sure I'm happy with my Nikon choice. Because once I start spending money on lenses thats it, its going to be real hard to switch. So I really want to see what Canon offer, my P&S was a Canon and I was really impressed by it, but I'll have to wait to test some of their DSLR's out. Is it just a case of Apple and Oranges? Yup, very much not near you.Maybe these will cheer you up though, its just a few images that day, the ones i thought you'd like. Thanks for them, that place looks amazing. I'd love to see it renovated go im jealous my house doesn't look like that! ________ Vapir no2 vaporizer Edited April 28, 2011 by fex

Fantastic information ^.^, I was looking at the canon D40, though if you are saying it's too small that might be an issue for me, I have quite big hands *chuckle*, which always effects my photos with my camera now because it's small and slim. *thumbs up*

But on the flip side, it means the D40 is a lot lighter and smaller, which is always good when your luggin' it around everywhere. I think the best thing to do is to go into a shop, and just compare a D40 with the 350D/400D and see how they fit in your hand and how they work. I know its hard but really think whether you want to go Nikon / Canon. You will want to replace you body every 5 years (give or take, if your an upgrading freak or just like to stick with the same old) But your lenses will last you for pretty much ever, so try and look at the big picture, not just ohhh the Nikon D40 is better than the 350D of vice versa because it won't matter, but your glass will. ________ LovelyWendie Edited April 28, 2011 by fex

Well for me five years is quite a while, that will last me the whole of my degree!! I would love a nikon, but I've never seen a ''cheap'' one, unless I'm looking in completely the wrong place. I'm not too fussed with lugging it around either, I'll go see, right now I cannot afford a new camera!
Maiky-NiSuTe Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Past Saturday our neighbor's gave a gig with his band "Out of the blue" i made some pictures there including this one: Today i tried to use photoshop in a other way than i am used to. and this is how it turned out. This is my first time i was creative with Photoshop. do you like it?
nightwolf Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I don't really like the writing, what does the image look like without it?
Maiky-NiSuTe Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I don't really like the writing, what does the image look like without it? uhm well uhm...like this..
nightwolf Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Hmm, I like it ^.^, maybe if you want font make it so it's like the pixeled squares? If thats possible?
Maiky-NiSuTe Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 i realy dont know. but i always can try cant i ^.-
Eenuh Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I actually like the photo better than the photoshop version. =3 Nice angle. Not a fan of the lens flares you added in the other version; that's something a lot of people seem to abuse when they experiment in photoshop, adding in unnecessary lens flares. X3

There's a big price difference between the two. You could always check out dpreview for more info. I've had these two websites in my favourites list for a while and they're quite cheap for the amateur end photographs. Compared to when I was looking around a while ago they were cheaper than other websites. This place and this place.

I'm on about the canon d40, but I think fex was trying to tell me to bare nikon in mind as well, not just the d40.
fex Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) God, this picture has been a nightmare, I've cropped it about 17 times and weren't really happy with any of the crops.
