[Yardsale]

you must spread some rep

before negrepping kenmon

won't come soon enough

[kennmon]

olympus 510

is a pretty good camruh

for first slr

stick with mainstream brand

canon or nikon for sure

dont try and argue

[Junetastic]

i will argue man

it has live view, good for newbs

overall good cam

[drivel]

where to kop

good tripod

not too expensive

best bang for buck

any recommendations

for brands/makers?

Look at Benro. Chinese knock-off of Giotto and Kirk. I have their ball head on Slik legs and it works really well, no complaints, holds my 5d with the 70-200 f2.8 fine.

this for real?

[kennmon]

looks like another batch of shit from the stupid rumor mill

its just a bunch of guesses, the only time recently that the rumor mill has been spot on was with the d700, but that was because there was a leak from the printing factory where the real product brochures were made.

i didnt read the whole thing but instantly i can tell you from "15.1 megapixels" that the chances of that being true is less than 1%

[funkdoobi]

probably right. i was linked that when i woke up this morning. caught me off guard.

im still hoping a 5D m2 is announced!

[freecat]

really hope it's true

will sell xti for moniez

so i can cop 40d cheap

[Yardsale]

the 5D markii is a definite.

[corter]

can't come soon enough, i'm already saving for a used 5d and hopefully they'll drop in price then

same here. I'm hoping the market will be flooded with people trading up

[Dex_star]

Wordddd...

Hopefully the price of my 40d wont drop with people upgrading from that to old 5d's... Or atleast Craigslist shoppers don't know about 5d MII

Olympus is just as legit, ever used OM system cams? I wouldn't go Sony or Panasonic or even Pentax for digital, but Olympus makes great optics. Kit lenses to embarrass the rest of the field. I find Live View pointless, though. I wish the 510 had a better viewfinder, it would easily be the best deal if it did.

did you not read thread?

all of us are really gay

talk in haiku form.

you are so stupid

not talkin bout oh em gear

get out of this thread

seriously, what does om system gear have to do with this DIGITAL SLR thread?

i never said olympus wasnt ever a legit company, but they are awful nowadays, in the era of digital slrs.

who cars about kit lenses, the people using them all get the same shitty results pretty much, do you really want me to list all the faults with the current line up of 4/3rds slrs?

for beginners (not saying they are only beginner cams), canon or nikon are the best.

period.

[kennmon]

yardsale, idc about the neg rep but

why was my last post dumb?

please explain, im being frank, if theres a flaw in my statement or you feel otherwise, do tell.

[VuONG]

kennmon - i think you just bring a negative effect on this thread. before you ever started posting it in it was full of helpful tips and tricks. people could ask questions and they would be answered respectfully.

what makes you the hipster god with all the correct answers?

on a side note i got this sick nat geo bag

planning to travel around europe with it. sketch book, point and shoot, my slr, and a tripot fits all inside this little bag its great

[kennmon]

hipster god?

im confused.

I'm planning on upgrading my DSLR from my current Rebel XT. I'm stuck between the Canon 30D and 40D. Is the 40D really worth the extra money?

[jimmyc]

megapixels = photography.

I thought mega pixels were more important when it comes to printing large prints. Is there a vast image quality difference from 8 to 10 mp?

[Klaas]

But beeing just a n00b
