I've told you again and again that I don't need expensive professional
quality lenses be they tele or fixed.


Why did you get the DSLR? Let me guess...to NOT take advantage of the
better lenses! Good work!

I'll continue to use the same term I've used since my
uncle

Is that the same uncle who used to drive a two wheeled car over to the
eating place for people where he'd order white things that come from
chickens?

Bubbles, you're quite the snob.

Yup, I don't buy junk cameras. If that makes me a snob, then so be it.
Some folks are born with the "Bayliner mentality" and can never shake
it off.

Nope, I got it because I wanted a DSLR because of the ease of printing
and editing at home.
I bought the best lenses for my requirements...get it yet?


Uhhhh....please explain why a DSLR makes printing and editing easier at
home....THIS one will be great! Do you mean regular digital cameras
were harder to use at home???

I bought the best lenses for my requirements...get it yet?


Right, you never require low light work, fast moving subjects, good
quality bokeh or sharpness. We get it! You made the right choice!
Ozzy, you have no idea how stupid you sound. Faster glass means getting
shots that your lenses can miss. You act as if a 2.8 lens is a level of
quality you don't need, but it's about GETTING a shot. You clearly
don't get it and were too cheap to buy good glass. Let's just leave it
at that. If you're happy with your consumer crap, why worry so much
about my opinion? I've never seen you soooo defensive. Go take your
nap!

Nope, sorry again.
You obviously don't have the ability to settle for a product that does
what you require.
You NEED to be able to say you have the best , Oh and that you bought
it cheaper than anyone else.



Settle? Why should you settle?
When did I say I have the best gear? I don't.
When did I say I got it cheaper? I didn't.

The Ozzy System: When all else fails, make stuff up! Easy there, M.
Brady....we're all very glad you like your gear!

Got ya bouncing around like a ball in a pinball machine, and I'm
defensive?


Yup, more so that I've ever seen before from you. Defending cheap
lenses, canon and some sort of photographic need that defies the
principals of optics....it's been fun!
After you were finally forced to lie, I knew it was all over for you!
Go take that nap...you worked hard this morning!

1) Choose a DSLR with the least in camera processing next time...Nikon.
2) Choose a DSLR with the best ergonomics next time....Nikon.
3) There are Nikon to Canon lens adapters because Nikon glass is
better.
4) There are no Canon to Nikon lens adapters because Canon has yet to
catch up on optics.
5) Both Ziess and Fuji are using Nikon mounts for body and lenses.
Guess why.
6) When Nikon releases a new camera it's generally new from the ground
up, while Canon often redresses old bodies, ie: The "new" 30D has upset
a lot of Canon users. Compare to Nikon who released a utterly new body
in the D50 and an updated D70 in the D70s.
7) Nikon gear holds value better on used market by nearly 20%.
8) Canon has now lenses to match the amazing 70-200VR and new 18-200VR
9) Nikon's VR system is measured to be 30% more effective than Canon's
system
10) Canon has no camera under 1000.00 that can match a D50 or D70
11) Canon has no camera under 2000.00 that can match a new D200.
12) Nikon metering system makes even Canon lovers jealous.
13) Nikon wireless flash system is standard. You pay extra on Canon
bodies and it's still poor.
14) Finally, you pick a camera based on the lens system. Bodies come
and go. Canon is good. Nikon is superb. Almost all Pulitzer photo
winners were shot with Nikon gear.

Canon advantages: Better for pro sports shooters due to faster
turn-around time on repairs and easier to get ahold of gear. Being a
much smaller company, Nikon is slower with repairs and is typcially
sold out. Some people have been waiting since December for their
18-200VR lenses! Of course canon has nothing even remotely as good at
any price.

Amen!

For which camera? I'm not sure which DSLR's can handle gun-shock
without mods.

Hey Guys,

I'm way out of class with this Camera discussion BUT when I switched
from polaroid to Digital I used Nutsy as my expert. He didn't steer me
wrong. He understood my wants & needs and the advice was perfect. I
couldn't be more pleased with my present set-up. I've thanked him for
his help.

A super Photo-Artist he may not be but his knowledge is damn good of the
available equipment. Also, it is given freely.

Give me your budget, skill level and expectations and I'll give you the
2 or 3 best picks for P&S or DSLRs. Ozzy should have asked me.
For his needs:
Nikon D50
Nikkor 18-200VR
50mm 1.8
SB600 Flash
This would have been a nicer outfit. The new Nikkor 18-200VR is simply
amazing glass. For many people it's the ONLY lens they'll ever need.

True enough Thom, now if he could just deliver it with a little less
vitriol and hyperbole we'd be all set here.

Cheers

Why would you want to mount a telescopic sight on a camera?

Amen!
