Enthusiast Photography -
11-29-2005, 11:33 PM
I've been looking into getting into photography recently, and I've been taking a course in school on the subject. However, the time has come where I have to get my own camera, and since it's nearing Christmas I thought I'd ask for a camera for the holidays.
I know a few of you here are into the hobby, so I was wondering what camera everyone uses or would recommend?
Price isn't really a concern here, although it has to be reasonable. I don't think anything 1k or under is horribly out of the question however I know some manufactures have those crazy 7k cameras.
The only technical aspect of the camera that I require is that it has to be a digital camera. I would prefer to use a film camera but the cost of using the schools darkroom for photopaper and film would be pretty much all of my personal budget which I have to spend on lunch and food outside of the house.
I've heard the D50 and D70 being tossed around, could anyone explain anything about these?
If you're into photography and use a digital camera post some of the pictures you've taken. I'm curious to see their quality.

Unless your gonna be hardcore photography guy, dont get an SLR, it isnt needed. But definatly look for a Canon. Like the Canon Powershot A620 or 610. Nice cameras that take great pics. As far as SLRs go ask anti, he knows more than me.
But i do know that i want an SLR, probably the Canon Rebel Xt

If you have the budget and the will to learn then there is no reason not to get an SLR. Get a D50 for $600 and use the other $400 to get some good lenses.

hes talking the super 1337 photo lenses that give you zoom, different photo effects etc...actually I have no fucking clue what extra lenses would do. Which is why I am perfectly content with my 3.2 mp fuji that ive had for 3 years |

Ive a 4mb kodak that ive had a while now, not much point of geting one of those cameras with the lens that doubles as a dildo unless your into photography.

macro lenses so you can take freakishly closeup shots. use it to take pics of pyro's wang.
telephoto lense so you can take shots from a distance. or use it to pick up milla's cock in 1 picture.
infrared lense to take pictures of infrared light. all I know is it looks fucking awesome. will make Swill look half good.
then other lenses for different distances. |
