How much are you getting it for?
about $1200
1200???? Whats coming w/ it?
Guys if you dont want to spend a ton of money, I suggest going on craigslist. Since NY is the fashion capital of the world, there are tons a deals from photographers looking to upgrade their gear and selling their used stuff for good price. Thats where I bought my 10d
http://newyork.craigslist.org/pho/
20d for $450

well i went with the Nikon D80 wich was about $1,000 the d40x was about $700
http://www.ajpurdy.co.uk/images/NikonD8018135.jpg10.2 megapixl
18-135mm lense
continuous shooting at up to 3 frames per second for as many as 100 consecutive jpeg images
top shutter speed of 1/4,000 sec
just to name a few features
Ok good i didnt want you to spend 1200 on a 700$ camera. IM not sure on nikons but from what ive heard its a good camera.
Wish the Canons came with an 18-135mm lens :)
Kit lenses suck any way.
Just got my Opteka battery grip. Walked around walmart with the kit lens, must say its much more comfy, I like the bulk. Im thinking about trading in the Sigma 70-300mm I got for a Sigma 18-200mm, then sell the kit lens and pick up a Sigma 10-20mm. Hmmm. I need a flash too arg.
nice. get the uwa lens. its fun! i just ordered a pano head to hopfully do a 360 pano pics.
Well i just sold my xt and kit lens. Will be picking up a 20d soon, as well as a sigma 10-20 and a canon 70-200 f4 L. Finally gonna get a L lens.
The more I research things, the more I want to get rid of the kit lens for a Sigma 18-200mm as a walkaround lens, and pick up the Sigma 10-22mm as well. Might grab a Sunpak 383 or Sigma EF-500 flash next week, Ive really been wanting to use a bounce flash!
Took these today, used all 3 of my lenses.

5. Not a good pic, but pissed me off. First time using the Sigma 70-300mm outdoors and theres a tree full of bald eagles. Couldnt get close enough to use the Sigma at anything but 300mm and Ive learned that its OOF unless you have a tripod. Going to get a monopod tomorrow and go search for some more eagles haha.

Damn that sux seth would have made a nice shot if you got close. My 70-200 should be here soon.
10mm rules.
im in the process of getting a sigma 4.5mm fish eye. its just too damn expensive.
Man a 4.5mm would be cool for only a few scenarios, skateboarding/extreme sports mainly. Seems like there would be too much barrel distortion for a lot of things. I really want a Sigma 10-22mm though. Mail me yours so I can borrow it for a bit :D
Went out for about 30min and shot around. The eagles were in the same tree except for this one. The one with all the eagles is inside the coast gaurd fence which is all blocked off. I went to Walmart and was planning on buying a monopod, but they were $18 and looked cheap. I can get one from BH for the same price and better quality. I need to order some UV filters anyway to protect my lenses.

2. @ 300mm
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...MG_0284_us.jpg
nice.
4.5mm would be used for 360 panorama shots which i will be using alot for virtual tours which will only take me a few pics to stitch. hehe
Its sigma 10-20 get it right lol j/p. But i like that shot w/ the eagle looks nice. The 200 didnt come 2day BS so hopefully 2moroow.
once you get it, im sure you would want to get a 1.4x or 2.0x extender. lol
I didnt want to start a new thread so i figure i post here. what do you recommended? I'm debating the
Canon XTI for $620, will look for cheeper online seth posted me a site, but with shipping its only 10 cheeper then my discount
Nikon D40 outfited with 18-55mm & 55-200 Zoom-Nikkor for $539
Nikon D40x outfited with 18-55mm & 55-200 Zoom-Nikkor for $639
Nikon D40x with 18-135mm Zoom $669
Whats your budget? What are you planning on shooting primarily? D40 is as entry level as it you can get for a DSLR. If I had to choose between a D40 or an XTi, Id choose the XTi. The XTi better compares to Nkon's D80.
Also the big downer with the D40 is that the auto focus is built into the lens and not the body, so if you want af, you have to have an af lens. With the XTi, auto focus is built into the body itself. That right there would sell me on the XTi over the D40.
About $650, honestly prob shots of my car and car shows. Maybe little shots home garden/nature but barley
the xti kit was just on sale for like $470 with the lens. just expired. lol

there are tons of xti's for sale on craigslist you could probably get a nice "kit" from someone who upgraded
thanks guys, i will keep looking. I really didnt want a used camera incase it brakes or something after i get it. At least now i will search the online company
Got my rented 70-200mm f/2.8L and 24-70mm f/2.8L in the mail today! Top notch quality, didnt realize my stuff was so crappy till these two bad boys came in. Stoked for the motocross this weekend with the 70-200mm and the MMA fights the weekend after with the 24-70mm! Hope I make some good money :)

Both at 200mm, ISO800, 1/1000sec, and f/2.8 handheld. This bad boy rocks.
Also thought this one was cool. Used the 'aged photo' filter. Caught somebodys flash going off, looks kinda cool.
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...s/IMG_2777.jpg
Going through the rest of the photos now. Got a few pretty sweet wreck sequences too haha.
Nice, but remember to change the color space from Adobe RGB to sRGB with you upload them.
I was bored
