-Rage- Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Damn interweb sarcasm. It was made to sound like I've never actually heard of a wet t-shirt contest. I don't think my vote would count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Rage- Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Okay, prepare for the photonerdness... Being a student at RIT's CIAS, I can first tell you that you should take your time when shopping for a camera and photographic equipment. Don't be too hasty to buy the first thing that you think looks good or is in the right price range. Sometimes you might just want to spend the extra couple hundred for a better piece of photographic equipment. Are you looking for a basic point and shoot or a higher end DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex, sort of like a glorified 35mm film camera)? If you do want more "artfag"-like photos you could always get a cheaper Nikon D-Series camera. The D40 and D70 are probably in your price range at about $400-600. The only problem is that these are prices for the camera body only. The lenses can be rather expensive. It is also possible to acheive those same kind of photos with less expensive Point and Shoot cameras as well. I used to own a Nikon Coolpix 8700 and it had a lot of great features. It was also lightweight and relatively small. These SLR-like cameras have gone down in price dramatically, so they are prime for the picking. I sold my 8700 to ilovedrunk (PMB's pal and fellow photonerd). I now use a Nikon D200 with an 18-70mm Nikkor lens. A DSLR like this is actually required for my major this is just my first year. I fucking love this camera though. Check out the site DPreview.com for lots of detailed descriptions of every camera onthe market. You can also search for a camera that fits your needs and price range, try here. As for a book, I was required to read a book by Barbara London and Jim Stone called A Short Course in Photography. I found it a little remedial for myself, but there is a lot of useful info for beginners. Hope that helps. Let me know if you need more info, or ask any other specific questions.

SUR X3 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 By the way. Dee originally had a Kodak Z710 and I talked her into returning it and spending an extra bill for a Canon S3IS.. It's a DSLR-like camera, with a 12X zoom and all the manual features she could ask for. An actual DSLR kit was out of her price range. Rage you and ink have the same camera. Sometimes I try to place with hers but since I'm used to Canon I just give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Rage- Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Yea, I thought the DSLR was going to be a bit too button heavy (and wallet/purse heavy). I think a lot of people really just stick with one brand of camera. I think I'm used to Nikon's when it comes to anything Digital. I can learn other cameras, but I really need time to sit down and fidget with the controls. I'm not against other cameras at all either. It sucks when people ask me what I think about anything other than Nikon's. I just shrug and say I don't know. I should get my ass in gear and check out more of the digital photo equipment at RIT. Am I right carwreck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Rage- Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Here are just some examples of two different cameras. I want to see who can tell the difference between which camera is the Point and Shoot and which is the DSLR. annnddddddd... go! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weapon X Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Yo, I have a Nikon Coolpix S8. Rage - how do I make it take cool pictures? So far, it's like every other camera.

Right now Ive been shooting with an S50 and before that an A60, heres some year old shit I shot in raw and color adjusted in photoshop. A60 shooting in jpeg S50 in raw edit: shit the differences in sizes fucks you up. The S50 pics are about four times bigger than the A60 with no distortion.
