Guest trev Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 With all these action shots of late ive been thinking about getting a new camera, not sure whats best and am looking for some tips from the hotshot camera crew. Im looking for something that takes a decent pic, good zoom etc. now take into consideration i know nothing about cameras, lenses, shuttering speeds etc. etc etc. so any information would be much appreciated. Maybe keeps, pan, bd etc could point me in the right direction. Any help would be much appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nov Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 If you can push the boat out regarding price Trev, then I would go for a DSLR (digital SLR), they are quick and can shoot multipul shots continiously, which is good for snapping moving subjects. This site is very good for learning what is a good buy. http://www.dpreview.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smudge 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Nikon D50 SLR or the Cannon equivilant Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Keeps Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Trev, as Smudge said mines a Nikon D50 (DSLR) Ive had it a couple of months now and have no complaints about it whatsoever. Only drawback is its not that small, not really a camera you can fit in your pocket when you're out and about, but excellent for getting action shots Quality of the camera is very good, it came out well in a review by Digital Photographer magazine, against the Canon equivalent. I bought a separate zoom lens to go with it though more often than not I don't bother using the zoom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest pan.handle Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Trev, in my opinion you'll need a DSLR, Canon 300D/350D or Nikon D50/D70 but along with the camera you'll need a decent lens. It'll help greatly if you have a little bit of camera knowledge, just to get the most out of chosen equipment... any questions just ask Pan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Simoman 110 Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Definately the Canon IXUS 40, brilliant for action shots, low level lighting etc. Try PIXmania.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tiny tim 22 Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 i use a nikon d70 70-300 lens ...really pleased with it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest grubygrafter Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 I THINK CANNON EOS 350 D SLR. CAN BE USED AS AUTOMATIC.TILL YOU PICK UP FINER DETAILS OF PHOTOGRAPHY. MOST DIGIS WILL TAKE GOOD PICS BUT THIS WILL SAVE YOU HAVEING TO UPDATE FOR A GOOD WHILE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mistwalker 0 Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Canon EOS 350D - 8 mp, 3frames persecond, and can sustain a burst of 14 shots (Canon figures, I've had up to 39 - depending on jpeg setting) Although the 300d is a cracking camera too - 6mp, 2.5 fps, burst of 4 pics. Either one will let you print to A3 without too much trouble, when you get a good shot. I use both for my part-time business (glamour photographer) and supplying picture libraries, which require 50mb files. One of these with a GOOD lens - no use buying a geat camera to use shitty glass - thats just as important. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
