  1. ok so in my search for a dslr, I've narrowed it down to like 3 models, since they don't make the Nikon d50 anymore (that woulda been my first choice)

    it's between d40, d40x or Canon eos 400D, basically, my main question is, Nikon or Canon... :confused:

    i've shot some with the d40x and the 400D, i found the 400D gives you better prints, but those damn back buttons are frustrating(compared to the back dial on the 5D or 40D)

    i think the best way to figure out what one you want is think about what you want to do with your photography

    -low light?

    -use off camera flash?

    -quick actiony stuff?

    if you shoot alot of lo-light stuff i'de go with the 400D, Canons AF is great for situations like under bridges, or at concerts

    if you're shooting more during the day or want to use some off camera speed lights(the SB speed flashes are the one reason i love nikon) go with nikon

    i like the way nikon handles their jpgs, the greens and blues are nice right out of the box most times.

    but i could go on for days.

    ps. did you check out pentax?

    those new lenses are fucking SICK.

    pps. i shoot canon.

  3. so, im really looking to invest in a nice lense. i already got some lenses (18-35 standard and an 88-200) but i want somethign with some more midrange. also, it should be kinda cheap as that im a broke sucka. any suggestions? maybe a 75 or something?

    check out some tamron lenses, they've got some nice glass in them now.

    they won't kill your wallet either.
