Does what I need and then some...
This is my first DSLR, and it's doing everything I need and then some. Solid build, great grip. I bought it used from a friend who's been a photog for many years. It's served him well for over 2.5 years; the stuff he's take on it is simply amazing. Solid camera!

Canon 20D My Baby My World
Hi... I want to tell the world about my romance with my Canon 20D digital camera. I bought it about 6 years ago and paid $1500. I fell in love with it the first shots I took! Beautiful pictures the best I had ever taken. finally I could take a decent picture and have no worries if it would turn out or not. all of my pictures were turning out perfect! they just did and it was amazing! I became a new person I woke up thinking of my new camera till I went to bed thinking what I would do tomorrow with it . I took pictures of my 7 grandchildren growing up, every event, street photography and even started my own photography business in my town. that's when it all came to a end. I was doing a wedding,my first wedding at the coast. after the wedding was over and we were doing the pictures and a sneaker wave got me and took me under and my camera was destroyed. I will buy another one the same 20D camera it's that great. Buy a good canon lens to go with it, at the great price they are chargeing now you can afford both! Gail

No support for 64 bit
I can't believe they still don't have support for 64 bit operational systems. I can't use my EOS20D with any of the newer computers that have Vista 64 or Windows 7, and it is been years since they came out. Terrrible support.

My First DSLR
Only being an amateur photographer of sorts I wanted to ease into the field with a solid easy to use camera that didn't skimp on the features. I purchased mine on ebay used for an extremely good price so I may be a bit biased here. However, prior to that I did do a lot of research and found this along with one other from Nikon to be the best for my needs. In the end I focused more on Canon due to the lens selection and the numerous other canon products such as printers and papers that'd make compatibility less of a hassle.
Works great with Windows XP. And recently found it just as easy to work with Windows 7 (32-Bit) by simply setting it to P2P in the menu section.
It is an older camera in terms of how technology ages and with that its a bit bulkier. However its insides have easily stood up against its age.

This is great. I was surprised no lens caps or that I needed software to download pics. This would have been more helpful.

The Canon EOS Rebel T1i features a 15.1Mp CMOS sensor (similar to the sensor found in the EOS 50D) for detailed, full volume prints, Live View for accurate pre-focusing and editing, continuous burst-rates of up to 3.4 fps, a DIGIC 4 image processor, and a scratch and glare-resistant high-resolution 3" Clear View LCD that allows for easy 100% image viewing from angles up to 170° off-center from the screen. The Rebel T1i records a choice of full HD 1080p, 720p, and VGA video capture for true high-resolution video that beats or meets the image quality of far costlier pro camcorders. The EOS Integrated Cleaning System combats dust through the use of high-frequency vibrations that shake dust loose from the sensor's front-mounted IR filter every time you power up and power down. It has an ISO rating from ISO 100 through 3200 in standard mode, and from 6400 to 12,800 in expanded mode.
The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens is designed with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology. Its stabilization allows sharp hand-held shots at shutter speeds up to four stops slower than otherwise possible.
The Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Zoom Lens is a compact and lightweight 4x telephoto zoom lens ideal for shooting sports, portraits, and wildlife.

The Sony Alpha NEX-5 is 48% smaller and 49% lighter than traditional compact DSLRs! While the camera is physically smaller than a compact DSLR, it retains the imaging qualities of an APS imaging sensor. The NEX-5 is designed to use Sony E-series lenses, a compact line of optics designed to work with the reduced flange distance that resulted from the removal of the reflex viewing system. In addition to Sony E-series optics, you can also use any of Sony's traditional DSLR lenses on the NEX-5 by using the optional LA-EA1 lens adapter.
Get the chance to explore your creativity with the 18-55mm f/5.5-5.6 Alpha E-Mount Lens. It is a standard zoom lens with a 35mm format equivalent to a 27-82.5mm lens.

better with combination
I bought Canon EOS Rebel T1i 15.1 MP Digital SLR Camera kit together with Opteka Battery Pack Grip kit (with Charger, 2 LP-E5 Batteries (3600 mAh Total), Wireless Remote, Cleaning Kit, & Mini Tripod). I seemed to have unlimited shooting power even with hours performance recording (change 2-battery set once). They are very good product designs and features. The only thing I hope to change so far is quick zoom in and out like camcode during recording instead of physically turnning the lens to bring subject closer.

Canon EOS Rebel T1i
I am very happy with my purchased EOS t1i. Quality wise, like many test reviews show, is it in this price category (body 600$) one of the best cameras available right now. Shop wise I had some problems with the delivery. The box was broken an retaped and one lens and some other minor stuff was missing. I filed a claim and UPS picked it up. Due to christmas vacations in between we had some delays and miscommunication but 3 weeks later they send me the missing lens. Cameta itself were very cooperative and tried their best to solve the problem
Question : Can anyone advised what's the best digital slr camera should i choose for a beginner like me?
I'm starting to love photography. I have a Fuji S7000 and a Canon ixus70. Been taking photos for relatives and friends in weddings, birthday parties and families outdoor activities such as BBQ parties for the last 2 years. Thought of getting myself a digital slr camera to explore more on best photography.
Answer:
If you aren't invested in lenses for an SLR then I suggest looking seriously at the Sony A100 and Pentax K100D Super.The A100 is 10mp, has Super Anti-Shake in the camera body, has dust removal for the sensor and accepts every Minolta Maxxum AF lens made since 1985. It also accepts many of the Maxxum accessories.The K100D Super is 6.1mp, has Image Stabilization (IS) in the camera body, has dust removal for the sensor, and you can use every K-mount lens made since 1975. Of course the older lenses will be manual focus but they will have the benefit of IS.Since the introduction of the Sony A700 and Pentax K10D the A100 & K100D Super should be dropping in price. However, careful shopping might find the K10D and A700 available for a reasonable price.
Question : Which is the best digital SLR camera and lens combination available within 500$?
I have used point and shoot cameras for 2 years and would love to graduate to digital SLR cameras.I would prefer a camera which is not too new in the market.
Answer:
I happen to like the E series digital SLR's from Olympus. At ten megapixel's, the camera's lens is astoundingly sharp and the whole enchilada will cost you well within your budget. Check some of the sites like B&H Photo. Be wary of kits that offer you a bunch of stuff you don't need. There's also a package deal with two zooms for the E-510. Great feeling camera in the hand as well.
Question : What is the cheapest way to get a digital SLR camera?
And don't say steal it!I am a student photographer, and I used a standard canon digital camera, but I wan't something with more optical zoom that can be digital. I already have a canon film slr that my mom used to have, and frankly it is quite old and a hassle to carry around. I decided it might be best if I went ahead and invested in an slr, but i know those are extremely pricey! So, do you know where the best deals are for slr cameras, both on and offline?Or, if not, do you know what the best slr STYLED digital cameras are that are out there?Thank you so much!
Answer:
Depending on how serious you are into photography and what type of photography you are doing. I would personally recommend a second hand or refurbished digital SLR for starters. I bought mine second hand and paid only 1/4th of the original price.I own Canon EOS 10D,you can see some of my photography on my website.Then for the lens, the only problem with second hand is to be very very careful. You'll need to check and make sure that the glass has no marks and there is no dust inside, otherwise buy a new lens. Oh as you said you have a canon film slr, if it has autofocus lenses, you can use them with the digital slr so buy a body only and use existing lenses.Also note that, because the digital slr doesn't have sensor same size as 35mm, so whichever lens you use, you have to multiply it by 1.6 so for example 17mm lens will be converted to approx 27mm on digital slr.Hope this helps.P.S. : To start a photography as a student, none of the compact digital or bridge cameras will help, u'll need digital slr (depending on how serious you are as i said). Otherwise yes there are some digital bridge cameras which provides you with almost all features of an SLR but too slow and quality is not same. A canon bridge camera for example is Canon PowerShot G series or Canon PowerShot S2IS.

Question : What is a good digital SLR camera to buy for an amateur photographer?
I want to upgrade to a digital camera and I was wondering what would be a good one to go with for an amateur photographer. I like the Cannon Rebel line of cameras but I was wondering what a more affordable option might be. What are your thoughts on the Pentax K100d. I learned on a Pentax K1000 and I read that most of the older lenses will fit the Pentax digital SLR cameras.
Answer:
I believe the K100D and K100D Super have been discontinued. Newer models are the K10D and K20D. Pentax is still using the venerable K-mount it introduced in 1975 so any older K-mount manual focus lens can be used with the newest DSLR cameras. There will be limited functionality (manual focus, stop-down metering) but they will enjoy the benefits of image stabilization since Pentax placed it in the camera body. If you have several K-mount lenses in good condition then buy the Pentax DSLR.Since Sony bought the DSLR line from Konica-Minolta in 2006, the Sony Alpha (A) series cameras use the Minolta A-mount introduced with the Minolta Maxxum AF 35mm film camera of 1985. So any Maxxum AF lens will be right at home on the Sony A200 or A350 or A700. Sony also incorporates image stabilization in the camera body.
Question : What digital slr camera should I buy for magazine photography? I am not a professional photographer?
My partner and I have set up a local community magazine, we have been using a point and shoot digital camera, but feel that we now need to upgrade to a slr. We have no professional training in photography, so have limited knowlege on the subject. I have searched the internet for different reviews, but just seem to drown in information. Please can someone offer advice, please!!!!!
Answer:
any entry point DSLR will be good enough. Something like the Nikon D40 or the Canon Digital Rebel XT/350D is perfect for a starter like you. They're pretty affordable (compared to other DSLRs that is) and it works just like any other DSLR so if you upgrade your camera to another DSLR in the future you won't find yourself in a hard time adapting yourself to a new camera.The hardest thing to pick is not the camera - it's the lens - some lenses are specialized and there's one made for specific task, and it won't work well if you use it for another task. But at this point - if all you do is taking picture of people, I think the kit lens that comes with the two camera I mentioned above is good enough. Finally I highly recommend a photography class for you - a DSLR is a pretty complex piece of equipment (well there's an auto mode but you won't be utilizing a DSLR's potential if you're using auto and at that point you'd better off with a point and shoot anyway) and you will appreciate what you have to learn in the photography class.Well, I hope this helps.
Question : How to get lomography effects with a regular digital SLR camera?
I am beginning to get interested in lomography, and I was wondering if I could do it with a regular camera. (I have a digital SLR, will that work?) All the photos of lomography I have seen seems as if they have extremely high contrast, and deepened depths of field. Is there a way to not buy a lomography camera and get the same results? Im getting back into photography after a long break and am really rusty! Thanks to anyone who answers!
Answer:
Some of the high contrast and crazy colors is because the film was cross-processed. That means color print film developed in the "wrong" chemicals like for slide processing.Lomography (derived from the LOMO company name) is a marketing thing to re-spin photography in a counterculture way (like it wasn't done enough in the 1980's, you can see some examples from photo magazines of that period.)(Chemical based photography is 100 years old, so people have been trying it chemically "wrong" occasionally).Kind of like saying "Nikon-ography or Canon-ography".Deep depth of field comes from lomographic cameras having f/8 or f/11 as their only apertures (with deep DOF) and the lenses may tend towards wide angle, (more deep DOF).Lomographic cameras are also based on cheap cameras from the 1960's with plastic lenses. So the clarity, and focus, and contrast of the best special glass (and best special lens coatings) are not in the picture.You can also use different colored filters in front of the lens, and put vaseline or plastic on a clear filter to get the hazy or dreamlike effect (also use f/8 or f/11 with a wide or fish-eye lens). And also shoot from odd angles.Once the image is digital from DSLR, then you can use Photoshop or GIMP and manipulate the colors, the contrast, clarity, and the focus, and cut/paste sprocket holes or frame numbers. Then call it "GIMP-ography"
Question : what would be a good digital slr camera for a beginner?
I am interested in photography as a hobby and I am just a beginner. What would be a good digital slr camera to start out with? I don't want something too cheap but it doesn't have to be fancy either.
Answer:
OK here is my short answer. for digital I have a Nikon D40 and I love it. The D40 has a full manual mode, Flexible progam, aperature priority, shutter priority modes. These are the same modes on all DSLR. It also has several other programed modes for things like portrait, night, children etc. As a photographer improves and learnds to use metering better these additional modes seldom get used so they are usually found on the more amature cameras and seen as not needed on the professional cameras. I feel I have a fair amount of experience as a photographer and it performs well for me but I can give it to my 12 y/o grandson if set on program and he can get good usable pictures as well. His photography is improving as he is already learning to use many of the functions himself ( yes I'm a proud granpa) . I also would not get caught up in the megapixel hype and instead look at the entire sensor issue. Look at the article I linked below The D40 will do everything a beginner to intermediate photographer needs at a great price. It comes with an 18-55 lens. It will let you use any other money to buy more accessories. And by the time you outgrow it cameras will have advanced to the point that most of what is on the market now would be obsolete. I bought a D300 last year and only had a it a few months when the D700 came out. The canon would also serve you well but I am a Nikon person so I suggest them. I have friends that are very happy with thier canon's and take great photos. You will have others that like Pentax and Olympus and they are not bad cameras but if they were in the same ballpark you would see many more professional photographers use them
Question : Do all digital SLR cameras allow you to blur the background of a photo? What about shutter delay?
I know w/film SLR cameras you can blur the background; can you do the same w/all digital SLR cameras?Also do all digital SLR cameras allow you to take photos w/out a delay in the shutter?THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Answer:
Blur the background.. you're talking about depth of field? Yes, you should be able to do that with any digital slr; keep in mind though, if you are using autofocus, the camera is going to try to determine itself what you are trying to focus on. Switch to manual focusing and you can focus strictly on foreground objects, which should become blurred. The farther back they are, the more intense the blur. Different lenses will also affect this.As for the no delay in shutter speed, what do you mean exactly? That when you press the shutter button, the camera takes the picture instantaneously without having to think first? You just need to make sure the camera doesn't have any thinking to do before taking the picture - hold the shutter button in halfway to allow it to autofocus, then press fully when ready, OR switch to manual mode.
Question : What kind of digital SLR camera is best for beginners?
I've taken a recent interest in photography - I've always taken pictures with a normal digital point and shoot camera, but I really really want a beginner SLR camera, which can take really nice pictures but is reasonably priced. I don't know ANYTHING about SLR cameras, but the ones I've looked at so far are the Nikon D40, and the Canon Rebel, and the Pentax K110.... any advice?
Answer:
The Nikon D40 is probably the best beginner SLR, especially for the price.Stepping up from there, consider the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, the Nikon D40x, and the Canon EOS Rebel XTi.The Pentax K100D super is also a good choice, but I think the Nikon is better built.
