Go big or go home! You know how I do it. I'm meeting with the guy now.

Here's another good place to buy used and new equipment. I've used them many times. Their used equipment is always better than their ratings.

Eric... Call Carlos first....TRUST ME!! He will walk you through everything you need to know. He did it for me.....

MiamiE · 12-16-2011, 03:16 PM

emopunker2004 · 12-16-2011, 03:24 PM

ApexAZ · 12-16-2011, 03:47 PM

The photoshop book by kelby is a must-have also.

Congrats, Erick!

I am really leaning towards buying a Lytro for festivals I attend. Way easier than hauling around the DSLR.

https://www.lytro.com/camera

Of course, in it's current state does not come close to DSLR stuff, but it's very cool technology. Maybe wait for another incarnation first though.

Anything by Kelby is a must have. He does a great job of expaining things. I have the book he put together for Light Room.

Congrats! And it is a good price too! Did you pick up your SD card yet?

MiamiE · 12-17-2011, 11:48 AM

I put in an old 4GB Sandisk from a game camera I had. I need to buy one of them Sandisk Extreme cards though. Maybe the 45mb one.

MrClean · 12-17-2011, 08:14 PM

Happy shooting Erick! It's another slippery slope hobby.

12-17-2011, 08:56 PM

I'm happy for you Erick! Congratulations!

MiamiE · 12-19-2011, 07:59 AM

Does Nikon or Tamron make a 100-300 or a 100-400? I may be better suited with a 100+ since I already have up to 105 with my 18-105.
