Re: Photography Thread
Sony makes the best compacts of any maker, I have always thought. Not sure if I am right or not, but I have
seen theresults on several great cameras from 5-6 years ago and further back, too, and they really look great. I realize this is a serious step up from those as well. |

Re: Photography Thread
Yeh I really like it. Focuses fast for a non dslr. Most importantly, it shoots RAW.

Re: Photography Thread
Really?!?! That's impressive, especially for the shots you produce Brad. For me, the RAW images give me the ability to adjust so much, that's all I shoot now.

Re: Photography Thread
HEY, I realize that this is QUITE a step back for most people, but I saw a really good deal today that I wanted to share.
http://www.adorama.com/US%20%20%20%20613059.html The D70s is KIND of a relic, but highly capable, to be sure. The reason this is a deal is that it is 90% off of it's release price but also about 50% off of it's current used list price. All for a power switch that won't turn the camera off. The reason this is a good deal is that the Nikon DSLR BATTERY does NOT discharge when you leave the camera turned on. You could turn it on, put the camera in a bag and leave it in a closet for a year and then pop it out and shoot some shots, you might not have the same battery level, but it will not drain in a week. The only thing that makes the power switch somewhat useful is that I do not like to change lenses with the power on, but I have certainly done it before, to no apparent harm done. You could pop out the battery, change the lens, and pop it back in. To be able to get a D70s for $75 and KNOW that the issue that has it discounted so deeply is so irrelevant is a pretty good deal. Need a cheap auto-focus zoom lens to go with it??? http://www.adorama.com/US%20%20%20%20542610.html In and out for about $100. Get a compact flash memory card, too while you are at it, 4GB is likely the ceiling on size. http://www.adorama.com/IDS4GBUC25R.html If you are asking why I DID NOT BUY IT, well, I can't keep buying close-outs forever. I just had to give away 4 of them at Christmas. Last edited by OLS; 01-09-2014 at 06:57 PM. |

Re: Photography Thread
Here is one of my favorites.
Another "cool" one. My youngest boy and the moose. Not as nice, but...

Re: Photography Thread
Ironically, the 'not as nice' one is the winner on sheer appeal. It would be great if we all managed to come home with
Ansel Adams quality pics of that 'too cool to believe' shot, but more often than not, we just manage to get a shot that proves we were there. I like all of em, but the moose one is hard to beat. |

Re: Photography Thread
I was thinking about getting it as a trunk camera, since I seem to have given all of my trunk cameras away.
But I think in the end, my OOOOooold Canon compact might do fine. But you of all people know how hard it is for me to leave that camera up there for someone else to pick up. |

Leave it be Brad. Some kid might be interested in photography and it might be all he can afford. Leave it there for him.

Re: Photography Thread
I'm trying to be good and not spend more money! Someone at work left a print catalog from B&H in the break room at work, and I saw that they had some used Nikon d7000 and d7100 listed, so I went online and found a used d7000 in number nine condition (probably similar to Adorma's E or E+ classification?) for about $570... Must resist!!!

Re: Photography Thread
My first advice to you Ron is NEVER buy used gear from B&H. They may be to the penny the same as Adorama on new gear,
but on used they are 15-25% higher across the board. I don't know about YOU, but I NEED that extra money. I used to be a huge advocate for B&H, and I still love em, but on used, they can't TOUCH Adorama. SECOND, unless you need the low light capability that a D7000 brings, you don't need to upgrade. Image quality is close to the same, and yet noticeably better...but perhaps not worth 6oo bucks. I just picked up a D7000 for $569 because my spare NEEDS to be able to do 3200 standing on it's head and 6400 in a pinch. I don't like pushing a D90 past 1600 under any circumstances, and I am not a fan of images over 1200. They blow out the colors and bloom something fierce. And I tend to agree with Justin, a New unit is only a hundred bucks more, although I needed that hundred and went "E" grade. It has 1400 shutter actuations on it. IT IS A NICE CAMERA, but I use it for my small bidness. For pleasure, a D90 is still a great camera. Save up for that D700 when they break below $1000 this summer or $900 in the holiday season. I swear in 10 years that D700 is still going to be a camera to recon with. A true classic. |

Re: Photography Thread
Eh. I'm over it. I got bills to pay too! I just bought a newer car; the payments plus insurance went up from my last ride (which, unfortunately, had been broadsided by someone last week) sooooo....No expensive camera gear for me for now!
