Yeah i did some research today at work between DIGITAL SLRS and

cameras like the Sony it looks like the Sony is in my price range and has

some really good manual features to complement the lense. I've been

strictly focusing my research on NIKON, CANON, and SONY cameras.

 

From what i hear those three have the best digis

 

I trust the opinions of Actual photographers like everyone in this thread

more than i trust a 9 out of 10 on cnet and apreeciate your opinion immensely phunk.

I looked at a Canon S1 IS in Best Buy the zoom was good but the

megapixel was crap, and i wasn't sure about the lense.

The SONY DSC-F717 is looking pretty attractive especially with those shots

geist took. GEIST were those taken using the manual focus on the camera?

and how easy or hard is it to use the manual focus? THANKS

 

 

Yea, it was taken using the manual focus on em - took like a minute or 2to get the focus *JUST* right on each picture. The F717 is around 5-700ish I believe, however good luck finding it - Sony stopped making them, I believe the 818 is the next version. The Carl Zeis lens though is top notch - no complaints yet with it. Still learning all of the cool things you can do with it as well.

 

With zoom, only account for optical zoom. Digital zoom is shit and pixelates the image. :(

 

I'm almost positive there's a lens attachment option with it, and I know there's a Flash hot-shoe at the top.

 

Good luck with finding a cam you want.

Another thought...

 

If you're willing to buy used, there are deals out there. Due to the speed at which this technology is evolving, there are plenty of 1st and 2nd generation DSLRs available used, only a year or two old. Check Ebay and other such sites for cams like the Canon 10D, the Nikon D100, and the Canon Digital Rebel, among others. These are already "old" models and so as people upgrade, I assume a lot of them are on the used market in excellent shape. Might be a way to grab a DSLR if that's what you really want.

 

Good luck!

Yea, since the 717 wasn't available anymore new (very few out there new), I got mine from the rents who got it BARELY used over ebay. People take good care of these things so you'll luck out.

not that you dont know it...but the colors on those are nuts.

 

thanks, someone at work was like, "Hey, cross processing."

 

You shoot slide film which gets developed in E-6 but you develope it in the wrong chemicals and use regular C-41 and it makes negatives out of positive film, it makes the colors all off and ups the contrast. Apparently it was really played out in the late 90s but I must have missed that. It's neat, the negatives turn like purple.

 

You could take slide film to any lab and request it, most labs should do it and if they tell you that it ruins their chemistry then they're assholes, it takes like 100 rolls in a row before it fucks up.
