Andrewr05 Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) Goes to show though doesn't it - that newest hardware isn't always required to get the best results TrueI think its called more megapixelsIn my opinion megapixels aren't the "end all" decision making properties you should go by.I've seen family members buy $100 cheap knockoff 6MP cameras (back when that was the highest) and complain to me that they didn't take good picturs... Which is why you should always go by the brand and other features combined with the MP, not just MP...

Silverfox Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 A lot of people still use retro DSLRs such as the D40, D60, its all in the lense Those are pretty dang good pics with the stock lense there Silverfox! thanks. i think one of those was with the 50-200mm lens (EF) but it has a poorer F-Stop than the stock lens to be fair. and i'll be honest too - a good deal of my better pictures are taken on the automatic setting as I am in a rush and they are literally on the spot. i find that it is choosing a good angle, composition and positioning of yourself, followed by being cheeky with the focus once i start my new job, i intend to be purchasing some nice equipment over time, like lenses with f-stops at 2 and lower for a change!

road-runner Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) Well I guess I am through hijacking with one more picture of three squirrels Edited March 23, 2007 by road-runner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Well you can't have it all Not exactly sure what that piece of glass is, but is the 50-200 that DO one? For now, if you dont need wide, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go pick up the nifty fifty, or 50mm F1.8, sells for less than a hundred, but optically it is up to par with L glasses. Only thing is, that it is built like crap (plastic), manual focus is a joke, plastic mount, and it wont last very long, think of it as a... disposable lense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 DO one? and the 50mm F1.8 is on my list along with a low f zoom lens (simple versatility) something starting around 17-20mm. we shall see! th 50-200mm is a bit plasticy (still Canon though), but it is very fast and quiet.

anthony Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Excellent shot, I honestly would not have guessed that that was the kit lense! Looks like you have yourself a good copy of it Err DO, the green ring one, difractive optics. I myself am saving up for a 24-70 F2.8L ... long way to go! edit: Heres what the 50mm can do 100% crop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 ah! no idea - nothing 'green ring' on mine - it is just the 50-200mm Canon EF Lens (AF USM II). It's all i could afford 2 years ago! I love the detail you have there on the fur. Here is a similar one of my recently deceased cat.

road-runner Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 I wish Airman would post some so we can see the difference. I like the Canon now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 I wish Airman would post some so we can see the difference. I like the Canon now! Hehe...i have loads more where those came from! i personally chose the canon due to the sheer number of lenses available new and second hand and the immense compatibility between D-SLR and SLR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
