you are going to do something about it, right? else you won't have enough money to fill your weekly new headphone quota[/QUOTE]
Tell me about it, I get headphones for free now due to my website audiblebond.com, but I would like to have saved for some LCD-3s, anyway, I'll probably keep it as I feel a good camera is one of the best investments you can make, plus I can't keep using my phone for pictures if I want to make actual good reviews in the future.
for you video guys out there, this was just announced

A blackmagic video camera, with EOS mount, 2.5k resolution, and RAW recording! Price should be around $3k, making it in competition with the Mk3 for compact video recorders. Should put some pressure on DSLR makers, because I don't believe there's any camera near this price range that supports 2.5k or RAW.
That is the sexiest fucking thing
all we have is a concept for now, but it's a very exciting camera if it lives up to what it's saying. can't wait to hear more
Do these have universal threading?

Adorama got to take a look at it, no test run but interesting nonetheless.

That's an interesting niche. The body's design is cheap-looking though!
get an om10

[QUOTE=David Tennant;35665445]I'm looking for a digital camera that has a retro aesthetic to it (think X10, or older film cameras), non-DSLR as my price range doesn't quite make it, looking at about £100 ($150), obviously picture quality is more important than aesthetics, but I'd love something that looks like the X10, the standard point and shoot look is horrible.
[editline]22nd April 2012[/editline]
Actually, I'm open to 35mm film cameras in the same price range too if anyone has any ideas, maybe I should go 2nd hand?[/QUOTE]
didn't realise you accidentaly bought an x10 it's cool
[QUOTE=David Tennant;35667117]Are you fucking kidding me, I just accidentally bought a Fujifilm X10 for like, £430, fuck.
Is it atleast a good camera? I can't believe paypal let them take £430 from my account which was already negative £40.

The ugliest of the X series. Honestly, the X100 is the best looking, most portable (lightest), and has the best bang for your buck out of the X series.
I had been hoping to get the digital Bolex when it comes out but I'm probably gonna go for the Blackmagic cam if it's around $3k.

It is bigger than i thought it was just looking at the picture from the article.
My Electro 35 lives!! I did a little jury-rigging, since I don't have a battery cover, but it works like a charm, and quite honestly, that's all that matters to me in the end. Can't wait to get a roll developed from it.

The X100 is more aesthetically pleasing, but accidentally spending £400 on an X10 is way more than I originally intended to spend, £700 would have been ridiculous.
I'm happy with the X10, it's compact and not a DSLR but for the price of an entry level DSLR, it's exactly what I need, and I love the old film camera look rather than what DSLRs are today (large, function over form), I just hope it can shoot at near DSLR quality, going by reviews it should do well.
It's a shame it doesn't have 720p60fps though.
I have a question for everyone. Im looking for a lens that is excellent in very low light situations and wide angle. I have been looking into [URL="http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/ef_lens_lineup/ef_24mm_f_1_4l_ii_usm#Reviews"]this lens[/URL] and im not sure if its worth it. Most of the reviews are complaining about the AF. Personally I will not be using the AF on it. So is it worth it? Or is there a lens that will do near the same for cheaper?

A relative handed down some great old cameras after finding out I did stuff with old cameras and the like. This Petri super 28 is gonna get some serious use, I can already tell

really happy to come across pieces like this in near perfect condition. Only issue is there appears to be condensation inside the inner lens element. Easily removed and cleaned though
I wish I had photog family members
then i'd get all of their wisdom and cool shit
I went to the Nikon dealer thinking I would go home with the F3, but I looked at it, the FE 1&2, FM 1&2 and the F100. Decided on this.

The CA of the 35 1.8 rears its ugly head. Nice quality it is for £149, it was £200 more for a slightly less scratched version.
My Olympus OM-2 and ProMaster 135mm f2.8 came today.

man i want a hotshoe thing for my om1n
I'm getting a camera for my birthday. A DSLR with video capability was out of my budget, so I'm getting a Kodak Max Z990. Yeah, it's a Point n' Shoot. But I'd say it's a nice beginner camera.
Takes fantastic video!

What's BS is the shoe thing on the OM-2 isn't compatible with my OM-1N.
Got a LensPen.. 'tis godly for keeping my lenses cleaner than a nuns vagina.
[QUOTE=Dumb User;35696681]Got a LensPen.. 'tis godly for keeping my lenses cleaner than a nuns vagina.[/QUOTE]
I have a couple on the way :) They are awesome.
the stuff I thought was condensation inside the lens appears to be solid, so I can't gently clean it like I hoped by unscrewing the front elements and getting in there, gotta remove it completely to work on stuff . Probably would look OK if I shoot with it, sans weird speckles inside bokehspheres
"bokehsphere" sounds like another one of those terrible terms like blogosphere :v:
Can somebody reccomend me a good DSLR wrist strap? Thanks in advance :)
I literally now own three 50mm 1.4s.
Thread title challenge accepted, and accomplished.
I'm thinking of a 35mm 1.8G for my D5100 since it's a crop sensor...
Just got the X10, wow, I've never owned a good camera before, the thing just exudes quality, I'm going to enjoy this.
[QUOTE=Dumb User;35709388]I'm thinking of a 35mm 1.8G for my D5100 since it's a crop sensor...[/QUOTE]
Chromatic Aberration can be quite bad at times and the bokeh is hit or miss. Its a very sharp lens regardless and a fun one to use on crop as its closer to 50mm.
I bought a Hasselblad 500 C/M. Couldn't resist one that's in good shape and recently serviced. Should arrive in a week. That's me sorted now!
