Re: Torn Between The Nikon D90 And The 5D Mark 2
The ones that Ziggy mentioned are cheap, but they are EF-S so you cannot use them on a 5d. A 5d is a pretty high end camera, and if you get one you should be looking to spend a fair amount on lenses to get the best from it. If you can't afford that, I would suggest something like a 50d and a EF-S 17-55 2.8 IS which is a… -
Re: Torn Between The Nikon D90 And The 5D Mark 2
APS was a film format from years ago. APS-H and APS-C are simply crops from the full APS frame that are similar in size to the imager sizes used in some modern digital cameras. Disregard the APS stuff for now, since that seems to be confusing the issues. In basic form, the Canon 1D and 1Ds series cameras as well as the 5D… -

A lens with a larger/faster aperture still wins over a slower aperture lens with IS, for the reasons I stated above. Canon's Ring USM, like that used in the "L" series lenses, is very good indeed. It means faster and more accurate focus, with very little noise. Look for the Canon lenses with a "red" ring on the front of… -

Extrapolating from two things: 1) The cost of the cameras you’re asking about and 2) The kind of questions you’re asking (please do not take offense, much of the alphabet soup that’s mentioned on these forums is Greek to me, too) I would suggest that you look at lenses and spend the bulk of your budget on one or two good… -
Re: Torn Between The Nikon D90 And The 5D Mark 2
For me....when I decided to go Canon vs Nikon the actual camera (s) was the least that I took into consideration. The truth in cameras is that any model you purchase today will likely be bested by a new model release within two years....if not sooner. The cameras then...really...are disposable. The true investment is in… -
Re: Torn Between The Nikon D90 And The 5D Mark 2
I should elaborate. The Nikon lenses which are inexpensive and have IS are (I believe) mostly "DX" series lenses, meaning that they are designed for use on the Nikon DX crop 1.5x camera bodies. The same lenses will fit the Nikon FF bodies, but with greatly reduced image sizes they may not be as useful. Canon calls their… -

In Canon the FF cameras are the: 1Ds series 5D series The crop 1.3x (APS-H) cameras are the 1D series. All of the above use Canon EF lenses. Canon crop 1.6x (APS-C, similar to Nikon DX) cameras are the: 7D xxD cameras (10D, 20D, etc. through the 50D) xxxD cameras (dRebel) xxxxD cameras (dRebel) All of the Canon crop 1.6x…
