Finally got myslef a nice camera, been wanting one for a long time, pics

Got a new Canon EOS Rebel XS, comes with 18-55mm IS kit lens and also got a 75-300mm lens, 4gb sdhc card, a bag, and a book for dummies like myself on taking nice photos

just got the battery charged, tried taking a few pics but by that time it was already dark outside, played with it a little, will get some stuff done tomorrow hopefully

so far i love the camera, played with them in store and read on them for a while before deciding on the Rebel xs, its all the camera i need, just wish they wouldve hurried up with tech and brought video recording to this price level, oh well i still have my little camera for that

yay, now i just need to read that **** book...sigh

I wouldn't know what to do with a camera that had lens you could take on and off.

Looks expensive and pretty cool.

i wanted a XSI, just on my limited budget, i didnt really need the addtl features it added on, so i went with the XS, i liked the rubberized grip on it better though

woulda loved a 50D too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

also my impatient self, i ordered it with 2day air shipping so it would get here today, ordered it monday morning

Should have gotten a 70-200f/4L, you'd wet yourself with how sharp it is.

I just bought a Pentax K100D from woot.com. It was only the body, but I already have a 35mm SLR Pentax with a few lenses and they work with the new DSLR. I got it yesterday and now I have to figure out how to work the **** thing. It's pretty cool! These Digital SLR's are pretty neat, very versatile.

Thats what I was debating Pentax when I got mine, I almost got a K1000D, but ended up going with an XT that was on sale at HH Gregg. Why'd you get 35mm? Digital is so much cheaper and fun to play with, you can get used XTs for around $300 now with the kit lens.

I got a digital body, I already had the 35mm SLR. All the lenses I already have will work on both the digital and the 35mm. Even the auto focus lenses will work with the digital because Pentax put the motor in the camera body. Now all I need is a new memory card and I'm off!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

My only dissapointment with the Nikon's are the lack of live view finders.

 

[mobeious 10+ year member]

if u need live view u dont need a DLSR most of the nikons D90 and up have the option of live view so thats like 6 out of the 8 cameras they have

i cant afford a 1200$ camera tho, so not much use to me, and honestly thats the only reason i didnt go with a D60, plus price a little bit, i could find the canon with 2 lenses for cheaper than the nikon, i have a little canon already, never gave me any problems

for me live view was an important thing, for tripod use and just nice to have it on there, if live view wasnt a concern the nikon felt a little better in m hands, but both had excellent pictures

i expect nikon to do a D60x or something soon and include live view, they are loosing a small share of entry dslr users for not having it
