Re: Wife says $1,500. What do I do?
Congrats on the new baby and soon to be new DSLR! I switched systems and upgraded from the Konica Minolta 5D to the Canon 40D (love it!) and my brother recently got the Nikon D80 (his first DSLR and he's very happy, too). He lives in Alaska so I haven't been able to try it out, personally. I'd recommend holding both… -
Re: Wife says $1,500. What do I do?
Heh I remember those days, my budget grew by $500 after I did the research and it's skyrocketed beyond my wildest expectations now. The 28-135 is a pretty good "starter kit" lens. I would consider the: 40D with the 28-135 - good range for indoors and outdoors stuff 40D with 50 f/1.4 since you have a little one indoors. XTi… -

Re: Wife says $1,500. What do I do?
A few quick comments: The d80 is a great camera - All shots on my wedding portfolio right now are from that or the D70. The replacement for the D80 is due out relatively soon. Spend your money on better glass than on better bodies (to a point). Honestly, you might be better off with a D70, a 50/1.4, and a pro-level 2.8… -

Here's what I've got if I go through B&H: Option 1. Canon 40d with 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 lens + 50 mm f/1.4 lens = $1,657.25 Option 2. Canon 40d body + Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens = 1,505.55 Option 3. Canon 40d body + Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 = 1,575.10 Option 4-10. Could go on forever. Am I going to want to make sure my all-purpose… -
Re: Wife says $1,500. What do I do?
Canon users predominate the market. But more doesn't mean better. Just look at any of the most popular television shows. . . . Canons are great. So are Nikons. The owners of other brands will swear by theirs as well. I bought a Canon because--at that time--the entry level Canon was a better camera than the entry level… -
Re: Wife says $1,500. What do I do?
I've made the order I just put an order in with B&H. With all of your input, here's what I decided on: * Canon 40d * Canon 50 mm f/1.8 * Tamron 28-75 mm f/2.8 * 2 UV filters * 4 Gig flash card Total = $1,665.80 + shipping Slightly overbudget, but I was able convince my wife that I needed to get the filters and flash card… -

Re: Wife says $1,500. What do I do?
I do believe I have some more 3200, again I haven't uploaded much from my 40D lately. Definitely have more 1600 shots. This was taken my first day really sitting down with the camera... handheld live view, 24-70 @ 70mm, f/2.8, 1/50, ISO 3200, high iso NR, straight out the cam jpg. Even though I can get some good shots out…
