The 5d Mk II looks better (referring to the comparison)... although the 9 AF points and 15.1mps on the T1i looks promising.

My advice is: forget the 17-85. It's really not performing very well (soft, heavy distortion in the wide end, slow aperture...)....
Get the Tamron 17-50 2.8 instead, I had that one and I loved it. It's fast, nicely built for the money and supersharp. It also comes with a lens hood whichnone of the Canons do.
If you prefer Sigma get the 18-50 2.8, I heard its really good as well.

I'm thinking of making a switch to a nice p&s. Any advise on this?
I'm thinking of any of the following:
*Ricoh GR digital II
*Ricoh GX200
*Panasonic LX3
*Canon G10 (or G9 if I get a good deal).
Santi - now that you've used the G10 for a while, how do you feel about the switch from the D90? I want something I can bring everywhere I go and not carryaround luggage if I'm not really going out just to shoot. I'm selling the 40D any day now, all lenses are gone.

I love the G10. As long as you keep it under ISO 400, you're good. I think in Good lighting it performs just as well as a DSLR would.

Well....I can speak for the G9/G10 and that camera is just as bad carrying around a DLSR in my opinion. You can stick that think into any kind of pocket and ifany, it can go in a jacket but it seems heavy...almost to the point where I would rather just carry a DSLR. I've said this before.....I would just go for asmall point a shoot instead and pocket the rest of the money.

Hmm.. Maybe you're right but you can also carry it in the strap around your neck inside the jacket?.. It is lighter than a DSLR so that'san option...
Santi - Did you get the retro leather case for your cam? I like the design and function of that one becasue you never need to worry about scratches yetit's always ready to shoot with a snap.

The 1080 in the new Rebel is at 20 fps! That is so weak. The only thing that i see that the new Rebel has is the price. Other then that, the D90 and this areabout the same but different in certain aspects.

It's all speculation right now regarding the A800. It would make sense for Sony to release new model the last 2 quarters of the year though.They released the entry-level Alphas (A200/300/350) last year followed by their top-of-the-line full-frame model (A900). They need to fill the gap between theentry-level and full-frame models.Originally Posted by Forgot About Jae

Is CMOS really that much better than APS-c ????
i NEED a truthful answer on this. Im looking at an a700 sony to replace my already sold a300. I sold the a300 with a flash + 28mm prime lens for 700, and a camera I foundfor another 135 to use for this purchase.
I could just buy another a300 for like 385 on ebay then a flash for 200 with my discount and have this money left over..but I wanna know if CMOS is worth it for real ? The a700 also has DOF preview and 5fps, plus is weathersealed
I have an A300 right now and will probably keep it until I get done with grad school in 2011. Then it's on to full-frame. I might switch to Nikon/Canon, but who knows what Sony will have come up with by 2011.
Im figuring that.. I swear to GOD if Sony messes up and stops their alpha line Ima run somebody overThey need to hurry up for real though. If a800 comes out and it has video mode I'll pray we have a corp. discount at work, thats how i got 35% off on my a300. $390 new. Any idea about pricing?
Speaking of a700 I coulda bought one with a Vertical grip for like 875 on ebay
I got a BUNCH of maxxum lenses for sale bruh..
3 50mm f1.7s and 2 70-210mm beercans...Buyin in bulk off ebay and reselling so hit me up.
I already have the 50mm 1.7. I've head nothing but good things about the beercans, but I'm just not sure that I need a telephoto though. I have theSony 75-300 and I hardly ever use it. But if you have something like a 28-75 2.8 or 17-50 f2.8, then we're talking

Why would you need so many? I have a 4 gig and I haven't even come close to filling it up....but then I always dump them onto my computer after each shoot.

i need some prime advice. anyone in here use/used the nikkor 50mm f/1.8 w/ their D40? i know the AF wont work cuz there's no pin in the d40. but i want anew lens (all i have is the kit right now). I know about the new f/1.4G but i'm a broke a.s.s. law student so that's not happening til august at least.I've read up on it a lot in other forums but it never hurts to have more input!
Thanks!
