They sure are. Genuine Habanos right there ;)

I am sure they are real Habanos, that's what the sign says they wouldn't lie to us.

What's the best/cheapest way to get into photography? I have a Canon 590IS, and I love taking pictures. I just lose any type of quality when the lighting is not Ideal. I love taking sports photos, but the action is usually too fast, and not enough light.

Can I get a decent lens to put on my 590 IS(a), or am I better off getting a DSLR(b)? I know option B will cost me much more than A.

Any insight is apreciated.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Actually its more likely the lens would cost more than the body. Im pretty sure you cant interchange lenses with your particular camera. An entry level DSLR with kit lens (or two if you find a package) Canons T1i with 18-55 is a great setup the other way to go is the Nikon D5000 route Both in the $800 range. Its really a matter of preference. Most guys here are canon fans and really they are great either way IMO. Canon is cheaper in the long run.

If you are looking for point and shoot most of them don't perform great in low light. An easy way around this is to use a tripod.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Or you could get a used Canon 20d or 30d and a nifty fifty for less than $500. The nifty fifty would be good in both the situations you mention, low light and sports.

Re: Photography Thread
 

What is the problem? What camera are you having the trouble with? New cameras take a little while before Adobe catches up and can process RAW files. So if they are coming from a relatively new body that may be the issue.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Yeah I was thinking mayb I can find a used body cheap-ish. I know the key is good glass or at least this point and time better glass. I have an adapter ring I attach to te 590is that allows me to add filters, but not sure about glass. Looks like I need to start a savings just for a camera.

Re: Photography Thread
 

It seams like you almost need a tape measure too.

Re: Photography Thread
 

doesnt have to be THAT perfect unless you want it to be. a decent guess usually suffices. (but I did grab one).

Re: Photography Thread
 

Well on my travels I stumbled upon a very reasonably priced Tripod. Slik 212 deluxe. First "real" tripod I've owned. A whole new world of possibilities have opened up with it too. For example I took a 30 second exposure last night NO problem. Yet still sharp.
