Need A New Camera

[Geoff]

You should also read reviews from unbiased reviewers that compare Canon and Nikon, Nikon is a great company but the Canon Rebel series is an excellent camera. You can see several sample pictures on the Canon forum here: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/

This is also somewhat relevant, the first photo was taken with my Canon S3 IS using the full auto mode. The second photo was taken with the Canon Rebel XSi under "P" mode, saved as a RAW, and then edited using Photoshop's RAW editor.

Canon S3 IS - Auto:

Canon XSi - P (Edited):

Just to show you a small piece of the capability you have with a DSLR.

EDIT: That was just a quick edit, the saturation is a bit high, oh well.

Thats taken with the MPE-65, an $800 lense
Macro is always fun and entertaining

Just got the camera today, opened it up and fooled around with it. There are so many settings I have to learn how to use, it's quite intimidating actually.

 

[MBGraphics]

Haha, it's ok thats completly normal.
You will get used to it quickly.
I might also suggest going here and reading up on some of the sticky's and How To's: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/index.php

That site helped me a LOT when I first got started, I still get some interesting tips from it

Congrates on the purchase and enjoy!

Just some quick pictures I took while fiddling with the manual settings. I love black and white, so bear with me

I've heard from review websites and from people I know who like photography that Nikon are an amazing company.

Yes, Nikon used to be the diesel of the 80s (bad company) but is now one of the best.

I am fully satisfied with my D40, and I'll probably stay with Nikon for my next cameras.
