deadlyshot 25 Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 got some advice as you can clearly see not from here! but we came up with a nikon d4+18-55 lens with a nikon 70-300 vr lens what do you guys thinks of this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coyotehunter 689 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Hey Mate , id take a look at the Canon , its a good little camera and capable of very good shots, now there's lads on here shoot Nikon so they'll be more knoledgable than me but i believe with the older Nikons you have to make sure you get the right lens's not all fit , with the Canon if it says EF or EFS it will fit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coyotehunter 689 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 PS the Nikon D4 isnt released yet , and when it is. it will be a small fortune , probably in the 3 grand mark !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Millet 4,497 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) what do you think of this camera Canon EOS Rebel XTi (400D) with an 18-55 IS lens for scenic shots and a 70-300mm IS lens for telephoto Ive used a Canon 400D for the past 5 or so years..with canon 17.85mm and 70-300mm lenses both with image stabilizers and took some half decent picture's..they is better camera's out there but for the money they are spot on for amatuer photography..im sure you will be able to get a good second hand body but you may struggle to get good quality canon lens for cheap prices.

deadlyshot 25 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 sorry got that wrong Yesterday i went out and brought a Nikon d40 it comes with the 18-55 lens anyway but i also brought the Nikon 70-300vr lens too is this a good set up for a starter to catch wildlife with Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coyotehunter 689 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Yes you've got a pretty good little set up there now, now you're into photography your scewed , if i totted up what i have in lens's and bodies i could go on holiday to Jamaca for the next 3 or 4 years but once you get the bug you just can't help yourself Anyway get out there and start snapping , you'll probably feel happier just on full auto mode to start yourself off, but force yourself to try some of the other setting buy a cheap book on aperture and shutter speeds and how to make sure your exposure is right , once you get a handle on it you'll be flying good luck and practice practice practice 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
