for Eclipse!


hey matt, what do you know about Nikon's?
looking at a used D40 (NOT 40D, lol) for just a beginner DSLR for the girlfriend. yay or nay? looks like the price is right, so that's not much of a worry.

 

Dude, I have a Canon we never used...lol...well maybe a few times

Buy eet!

 

Canon

 

pete can has pmz

 

I like teh Canon, I have a 20D I shoot with.

 

yeah, I'm excited to upgrade beyond something basic eventually because I've seen what can be done with them. but I honestly know nothing about photography, so a learning process it must be!

and all the macs in the library at school have PS so I can mess around with editing, and we can rent nicer DSLRs free of charge, so I can fudge around with those too once I have some knowledge to build off of.

 

I would suggest starting with the XTi Rebel like what Pete has for sale. It's easy to butcher a photograph when you don't know what you are doing. Not to mention it's not the camera that makes the photograph, it's the photographer and a decent set of glass.

 

I think his is an XT?

either way, seems like that's the route I'm going. and the gf has more interest in photography than I do, so I'll just give her cars to take pictures of.

 

I love my xti, it does the job for me. I want some new glass but who knows when ill drop money on that....ring is next for me.

 

ORDERED!

Picked up the navi setup. Sirius radio, steering controls, oem dash kit etc.

Now, just need a nice warm day or a big garage
