Seems like. But bad experiences may bring development! I am sorry that this time ULG couldn't come for a good boar hunt due to unforeseen circumstances, but I can report, that the hunting season in Hungary went great again, here are some pics of yesterday's hunt. 30 wild animals were driven to guns by (33) people and (14) dogs yesterday. Deers, moufflons, 1 fox, but mostly wild boars of all gender and age. ... Hope for next season. ATB, Anna Looks like you had another cracking day there Anna. I'm really pleased that your terrier is coming on well. I'll arran

These bigger sized dogs are not used in hungarian hunts. But I must also say that we only have 1 lurcher breeder in all Hungary and for pointers and sighthounds there are other options for work. We have many terrier types (and their mixes), herding dogs and the wire teckel. YIS, Anna

Well, we had ULG's lurcher with us last year. For bigger dogs, such as a pointer they say that they tend to be harmed easier due to their size, but they also allowed DnN's GWP to work. ATB, Anna

We drive on hills, but nothing that an average woman could n

Haha, I've thought the same!! Anna

If I had Canon, I would also have the 7D - and would wait for the price drop. Which Nikon equipment you would go for? ATB, Anna
-
I've thought we could make a list of full sets (camera body + 2 lenses) for 1, low budget, new equipment 1a, low budget, second hand equipment (and maybe some explanation of what one gets for this price and what may he miss. Then everyone can make the math for himself) 2, middle budget, new equipment 2a, middle budget, second hand equipment (and maybe some explanation of what one gets for this price and what may he miss. Then everyone can make the math for himself) 3, higher budget, new equipment 3a, higher budget, second hand equipment (I mean to make the table bot

Hello and welcome on the forum! YIS, Anna

Thank you very much, Gentlemen! I hope it can help you all making better photos of your dogs in action! If something is not clear to you, or have further questions, feel free to ask. ps.: I am not native english speaker ATB, Anna

... Storage refers to memory card. Some cameras have double slot (D300s and D7000), which may be nice to have, but we can live without. Environmentaly sealed: may be useful as you may want to use your camera on the field, where there may be dust or some little rain. Battery life isn't described for D3100 and D5100, but if you do not use flash and don't look at your photos on hte LCD for long minutes, they will easily serve you on a day out. Weight: I would go for heavier, more sturdy cameras. I myself just sold my D7100 (similar to D7000) and bought a D300. Last, b

... Articulated LCD: fully articulated may be good if you use your camera for macro photos and if you used to take photos holding the camera above your head or very much on the ground, without laying on he ground. May be useful for videos. In all other cases fixed is just fine. Screen dots: again, not important, but useful: when you see your pictures back on the LCD screen, the more dots you have, the more exact you see the picture (also if it is not sharp enough, or not where you wanted it to be sharp). Live view: again, not important, but useful to know: that it is practic

I try to show through comparison what I think are the main differences and may be important for you when choosing a camera for taking photos of your dogs in action. Below are 4 DSLRs: 2 of the lower cathegory and 2 of the more advanced (better for taking action-photos, but still not super-expensive and surely not pro cathegory). These are now Nikon, but I can do the same for Canon too. Effective pixels: all of them have just enough Megapixels, don't think that the more Pixels, the better! You can make nice billboards from 6 MPixels, so no need to too much MPixels! Too much MP may ev

Ah, well...so I try to put it this way: For general cases (standing photos of your dogs in the garten, family pictures, landscape photos, dog shows) ALL digital cameras will do the job. All of them, no exception. For photographing dogs/other animals in the move you need to have certain attributes in your DSLR. (DSLR stands for Digital Single Lense Reflex - this is the general name for cameras with interchangeable lenses with mirror inside. Cameras with no mirror inside, but interchangeable lenses called MILC.) So you have bad light conditions (say you are out in the morning or in the

Well, I am just a user, but have tried quite many types both Canon and Nikon. Let's start with Nikon a., if you are ready to buy a second hand camera, I would suggest you to go for a D300 or D300s. They are steady, weatherproof cameras with many services and about 6-8 frames per second (FPS). Their big advantage (comparing to the brand new, but lower category cameras, such as D3100, D3200, D5100, D5200, D5300) is that you can reach many settings wit buttons and don't have to "poke" in the menu for every little thing. Advantage is also the upper display, which is very useful that you can s
-
Are you willig to invest some time and effort to learn, or you'd rather rely on the automatic functions? ATB, Anna
-
Both companies are OK for you. The type of the camera depends on what you exactly want to take photos of, under what circumstances (for example: you want to take pics of nature, or fast running animals in the dawn/sunset), if you are willing to learn something on taking photos, how much you are willing to invest and what other preferences you havce (say you have big hands, you prefer lighter body or you like flipping-out display, etc) ATB, Anna

Also worth checking this link: photos taken with expensive gear recreated on a cheap DSLR http://petapixel.com/2014/08/23/cheap-shot-challenge-photos-taken-expensive-gear-recreated-cheap/ ps.: the Nikon D810 is a brand new camera (released about 1 month ago), the Nikon D40 was released in November 2006. So I would not mind to have a bit older camera, they are still waaaaay better then what photographers had 20-40 years ago! Let us know what you choose and bring us some of your first pics! ATB, Anna

worth checking this site: http://www.dpreview.com/products/compare/side-by-side?products=nikon_d3100&products=nikon_d300s&products=nikon_d90 and the cameras themselves separately too. I would check for grip, the menu system in general (for some, the menu of Nikon is "weid", for some the menu of Canon is "weid") and which stands better in your hands. ATB, Anna
-
Yeah, you'd be fine with one. Spend more on the lenses, they are more important! I would maybe consider purchasing a second hand Nikon D300 (or D300s) with about 10.000-15.000 shots, you would be happy with that too, I can garantee that! D300 (and D300s) may be a bit older model (and only available second hand), but more professional camera with more options, more buttons in order not to go to the menu everytime you want to change the smallest thing, higher frames per second (fps) and better built (for example weather proof and is also bigger, more massive body, fits LOT better to a man's ha

I like the second one particularly! ATB, Anna
