shrek Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Until recently I used the software bundled with the Canon, now moved onto Adobe Lightroom and have an eye on CS3, but don't see the point in the later unless your willing to put the hard work in. Also use photomatrix very occasionally for the odd HDR shot. But then you can't polish a t*rd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenilworth Tiger Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Purely out of interest, what photo editing software do people use? Photoshop Elements but to be fair I don't do much editing - the real skill is taking the best pic first time!! By the way there is a great feature called "My FIrst DSLR" in the DIgital SLR photography magazine this month - well worth a read if you're serious about buying one. Now then, it's a race between Sandie....and Fairburn....and the little man is in........yeees he's in. I, just like those Castleford supporters felt that the ball should have gone to David Plange but he put the bit betwen his teeth...and it was a try Kevin Ward - best player I have ever seen The real Mick Gledhill is what you see on here, a Bradford fan ........, but deep down knows that Bradford are just not good enough to challenge the likes of Leeds & St Helens.

gingerjon Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Actually I'd add that this lens issue is very annoying for the Nikon D60. I can't actually get the lens I want because there's no stock in the country - demand outruns supply by 7:1. There's a lot of D40x/D60 uses but not enough lenses to keep us happy! I am now looking at having to double the amount I wanted to spend - which I can't really afford to do - and getting a Nikon own lens. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Kenilworth Tiger Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) Sorry but that just made me hit the screen in rage and frustration. I know they do a very nice 70-300 telephoto. It's that one I want. For Nikon AF there are 4 versions, 2 work with the D40x/D60 and 2 don't. I can get the 2 that don't from any camera shop in the country. I could get a face to face chat with Keyser Soze more easily than I can get hold of the 2 that do. Oops sorry - I got mine from Wokingham Photographic if that helps Would it help if I said it was a ###### lens?

gingerjon Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 "Upgrade" to a Canon we never have a problem finding lenses that fit...........!!! Go forth and multiply. Although I believe that all Canon AF lenses fit all Canon cameras. Have a look at the Nikonians page - there are complex diagrams about which lenses go with which cameras.

Red Willow Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 This is actually an important issue. Are Canon suitable lens much easier and cheaper to obtain? We seem to have found a specialist subject of half the posters on here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to have found a specialist subject of half the posters on here! I've never had a problem, so far for my 400d I've got; - Sigma 10-20mm - Sigma 18-55mm - Cannon 50mm - Cannon 75-300mm is usm. Not sure how they compare in price, I guess a quick look on Jessops or Amazon will give you a rough idea. Sounds like its a bone of contention amongst our Nikon friends though!

We seem to have found a specialist subject of half the posters on here! I've found that Canon GENERALLY are easier to find lenses for - Sony is becoming easier as they make a bigger play in the DSLR market and all Minolta lensesd fit SOny too.

shrek Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Looks like Canon are set to launch a new entry level DSLR, not sure what the price in the UK is going to be, but the functionality seems to be a hybrid of the 400D and 450D with a couple of comprimises along the way.

New Canon 1000D Looks a good camera. Not sure why anyone would buy a 450D in preference to it thought? I am going to collect my lovely new farcically expensive Nikkor lens on my way home.
