Digital Camera

Here's an almost professional camera: http://www.digitalcamera-hq.com/canon-powershot-g6-reviews.html
It's a bit expensive, but look for the prices at different stores, maybe you'll be lucky and find a x-mas sale somewhere...

tis a very nice camera, although its only going to reach its full potential when in use by a professional photographer, and the odd regular user of course.

Thats just like everything else in the world though, put it in the hands of a pro and you get different results!

That's the one! It's probably the best semi-professional camera and its price is 12 times smaller than that of the EOS-1DS...

wow...i could buy a used car for the price of that camera lol. i'm not even getting that much for me car $5K if im lucky lol.

But as you could see, that EOS looks like a real camera. First time I saw an earlier version of an HP Photosmart I thought it was an electric razor...

hah yah it does look like a "real" camera. They have $40 credit-card cameras that would be fun to have. but i would be afraid it would crack if i stuck it in my pocket.

Some low-end cameras have some really strange design. Just look at this one:

It's like a cigarette lighter... I'd never appear in public with such a hilarious thingy.

lol it does look like a lighter. if it had a flip top and a flint i'd be dumb enough to try it

God yea... you seen the EOS-2DS?

 

[Lorand]

EOS-2DS

What's that?

 

[Praetor]

Here's the lowdown on the Mk2 for the already prestigious EOS1DS: http://www.tomshardware.com/consumer/20041115/holiday_guide-19.html ... it seems that it is (incorrectly) being referred to as the EOS-2DS in places (like the first place i saw it). There is a EOS-20DS (to replace the -10DS) but to my understanding the -2DS is not available yet.

 

[Lorand]

So we can still save some money to buy the 2ds when it will available...

 

[Praetor]

LOL yes i would imagine so

I just bought the Canon EOS 20D with 18-55mm lens yesterday afternoon for AU$2650.00
It's not quite as good as the EOS 1D(Profesional Series) but its still amazing.

Already i'd prefer a better lens though as it needs to go better than 55mm, but once i can aford it i'll buy a better lens & a Flash as the built-in one is ok, but doesn't seem to keep up with the camera in high speed mode(5frames/sec).

Still the camera is awsome. I dont know much about cameras but i'd still recomend it to anyone.

Does anyone know if there are any on-line tutorials on photography?

An interesting fact: the first ever photo (taken in 1827) needed an exposure time so long that in the meantime the sun circled the sky, so there's no shadows on the photo.
Take a look on that photo. You can see no shadow... In fact, you can hardly see a thing...
