i wud recommend to flex the budget a little and go for Nikon D-90 if planning for a Nikon system (I wud strongly recommend).
Even D60 is also a good buy. Have been reading excellent feedback from users.. Evident from the fireworks snaps by Psyco_98.
last weekend I happen to visit sony world. checked the A200. I was impressed with the pic quality with the 18-70mm lens, but the body is very bulky, heavy and unimpressive.
It feels very BIG and the shutter sound gives a shaky feel , as if some earthquake inside the camera took place. (Not Romantic like Nikon
)

Im lookin at the canon 450d.
My current cam is a Sony DSC110 Point & Shoot. Im shooting with it for 12 months now. It clicks good quality snaps but there are not tooo many things tht you can do in it. The main problem is the only image format it supports is JPEG. The image quality reduces alot after processing on the PC.
The view finder is a great thing, but sometimes u feel while shooting tht it would be better if u had the manuverable LCD
. Especially wen u have to hit the ground or jump high in the sky

i also love the oly..specially the E 410 or 510.with the lenses they provide some quality stuff.but then again i see the lens availability issue.Originally posted by bprags View PostWhy not a Oly sytem[i agree it has a small sensor but then it also has better reach]? I have read some gr8 reviews of their lenses and quick AF.
to me when on a tight budget i will prefer the pentax K200D with the kit lens.the kit lens made by HOYA is the by far the most beautiful kit lens in comparison with others.including canon and nikon.
oly also is good.the availability is the issue.there are no stupid questions.
but there are stupid people.

read about some of the key feature of an SLR here at my older postOriginally posted by pulsar_flame View Postwhat is the diff between an SLR & point to point shoot digi camera ex panasonic fz18,sony h50 ! how much zoom can an slr do like 18x zoom and is it easy to take a shot like our normal digi cameras ?
the superzooms like the fz18/fz28 and the h50 and all look good on paper for the specifications, but in slightly tough conditions they are not so good, like when the light does dim, ya cannot boost the ISO because of the resultant soup of noise.
as for the ?x zoom on a SLR, think of the canon system. The widest lens is 14mm. (leave out the fisheyes). The longest lens is a 1200mm (costs 99000 US$, is made to order). that makes it a 85x zoom. Happy :P
in the auto mode, the SLR's are as easy as any point and shoot, unless you cannot use an optical viewfinder. And in time critical shots, they are leagues ahead of the point and shoots whose slower autofocus and a few eons of shutter lag makes for a lot of missed moments.Torque nut in the land of horsepower worshippers.

I need some suggestion guys . I recently saw a good Minolta rokkor 58mm f1.2 also 50mm f1.4 which is a Minolta mount. Both lenses are around 30 yrs of age at very reasonable price. I am looking for Pentax screw mount (M42) or KA versions. Since only Olympus and pentax supports compatibility for older MF lenses. I checked the camera whether i can able to use MF. surprisingly its very easy to fine focus compared to fuji s6k. Split screen is awesome. Now DSLR bug bite me hard perhaps in future i may buy one
. Whether there is converter available incase if i choose bodies like pentax and oly.
To poison you guys i also saw 300mm f4 tamron prime zoom around 2k price. slowly i am getting addicted to manual focusLast edited by vijaycool; 11-11-2008, 09:35 PM.

I checked in the shop the aperture ring is sticky but cant find any fungus in bright day light with aperture is fully open. Anyway i am not in a hurry to buy any primes now just a learning curve if the deal is good then i can buy and use in future. Looking for asahi takumar lens real beauty coated with radio active elementsOriginally posted by Speed Pujari View Postthe prices are putting me in doubt. Check the lenses properly for fungus.

Is nikkor/canon/Sigma/Tokina/Tamron/Zeiss difficult to spell??
..
Or do these lack so much of quality that we have to open the big book of History?

Real low light champ
I am suggesting my friend to buy panny LX3. The things that were put off is inadequate zoom
. I am not pushing him to buy.Its his decision.
my question is LX3 dethroned ultimate low light champ fuji f30/f31fd?
The advantages of panny over f30
Fast lens f2.0
ultra wide angle 24mm perfect for indoor shot
equipped with IS.
Better IQ on par with f30

Sunday I checked the camera in Canon Pro showroom newly opened in bangalore..Originally posted by Sunny View Posthey All, I am thinking of buying a Canon 50D, how much benefit will it give me over a 450D? Should I invest in it?
I tried the camera with couple of lenses viz EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L , EF 10-22mm f/3.5 and the mighty 18-55mm .
Its very light (far lighter than 40D) . tried couple of shots of a chopper kept in the showroom..
couldn't make much of a feedback, but the 9 point AF with a big viewfinder was catchy (the deciding factor over 450D).
Image quality wise- well its a canon !..Last edited by Speed Pujari; 11-11-2008, 10:04 PM.

Manual Focus Forum
Ofcourse these lenses are build to the highest quality and IQ is unmatched by the modern lenses. My wish list 50/58 f1.4 rokkor,smc takumar 85mm, helois 40, 85mm f1.7 and goes on.Russian lens like mir, Helios produces no CA, PF at any stop
. Once you start reading these forums you will be hooked up and start searching for those lens 
Comparison bet f1.2 and f1.4
