I remember preaching about Nikon cameras. The D90 wasreally dope though, I just couldn't afford it at the time.

Fong, did I convert you to Nikon back when the D90 came out?

how could I...

No but really, I thought the D90 was dope as hell when I had it. I just couldn't afford it at the time.

I know that 10.5mm was a big reason for your choice too.

I wouldn't even necessarily think you need it to be a serious photographer but that is if you are serious in print media or dealing with some major color correcting issues. I know a lot of guys still doing print and half of them don't even use it and still come out with great stuff. I mean calibrating your monitor probably does make your photos better, but since majority of us haven't done so....no one would ever really take notice.

Just because others won't see the correct colors, doesn't mean you should be working on a monitor that isn't giving accurate colorsand tones. Especially for those working on multiple monitors, it is important to have them all evenly calibrated.

As for the 1D Mark IV...it's nice, but I'll wait for the 1Ds Mark IV

 

[pghshoecollector]

Still learning the camera...most of my shots come out terrible but I liked this shot I did for a thread over on POTN.

 

[qkslvrtypes]

recently picked up items

 

[hawtsauce]

im brand new to this whole photography thing. i definitely do not have the photographers eye.. my camera is a beginners dSLR, olympus e300. im having a lot offun with it but about 1/8 of the pictures i take are anywhere close to good. comments are welcome!

 

[that kid daniel]

Man I regret selling my XTi. Hopefully black friday has some sales on cameras. Looking around to buy a camera for christmas for myself.

 

[werunsf]

this is one of the longest threads ive been a part of. i posted junior year 2 years ago. STILL RUNNING

 

[im not you]

So is the consensus that Canon lenses > Nikon lenses?

You know.....I had a heavy response (took about 10 minutes to type) to all of this talking about web vs print and needing a calibrator for it....but stupidYuku made me log our for whatever reason.......so now whatever......buy a calbibrator.


Santi......yeah man...got the Nikon mainly for my infatuation for Fisheye shots and wanting to get into photography, but ironically I want to get away from allof that and even in skateboard mags, they aren't as dominant as they used to be. I would just sell my stuff but I know I won't get nearly as much as Ipaid for nor would I be able to get the exact body and lens that I want since I don't really have more funds to play with. Oh well.....Nikon it is.

 

[airphilippines]

Tried some tilt-shift miniaturization last night, it really helped my not finish some work for class

sorry for kinda hogging I guess.

[rap sizzle]

Nikon zooms > Canon zooms
Canon primes > Nikon primes and it's not even close. Nikon has been focusing on their zoom lenses leaving their primes to be old and outdated

and Primes> Zooms....so Canon > Nikon

 

[boys noize]

Where is the cheapest place I could get a Nikon D90 body? Is eBay with bing cashback my best bet or is there anywhere else?

 

[supraturbo619]

I agree, primes > zooms for IQ.

For versatility I loved my old 24-105L, best travel lens ever (on a FF like my 1Ds2 or 5D2)

I sold my 17-40L, 24-70L and 70-200 2.8L IS zooms and haven't looked back.

I replaced them with a 35L and 85L II, looking for a 135L or 200L (f/2.0 $$$$$)

 

[rap sizzle]

The 2 zooms that I have are the 24-70L and 70-200 2.8 IS. I wanted to stick with primes but I needed the 70-200 for sports. The 24-70L I'm about to put upfor sale but I'm slightly reluctant since it would be very useful for studio, which I'm slowly getting in to. Right now I'm thinking about tradingin my 50L for a 35L. I'd like to keep the 50 but my funds won't allow it, especially with the splurging I just did

Oh and going back to the whole Nikon vs Canon lenses, I was really close to making the switch to Nikon when I got annoyed with my 5D2's auto-focus. TheD700 on the other hand is fitted with AF system similar to the pro bodies. I was about to make the jump when I realized that Canon primes trumps Nikon's.

 

[dj bana]

50 1.2? if youre selling it, let me know.. im interested.

 

[airjordanjack]

Taken with Pentax 50mm f/1.4 at 1.4 attached to a 40D.

I have the line up right there 24-105L 35L 85LII and 135L thinking about pinking up a macro and/or the 70-200L

Good lineup by the way ....

Anyone here own a 50D? Recently, I lost my rebel T1i due to a house robbery. I'm not taking advantage of the situation but because my PS3 was stolen too,therefore I'm looking to go 2 for 1 this time. So with the coverage I'm looking to "upgrade" to the 50D.

Also, I've been reading reviews, looking at specs, and examples of what the camera can do. I'm looking for an opinion from another 50D User.

Not much of an upgrade. Get a T1i and some new glass, or a 7D.
