[QUOTE=codenamecueball;28046750][url]http://i56.tinypic.com/2dbrvya.jpg[/url] Christ[/QUOTE] wait he actually went into manual settings for that?
[QUOTE=daijitsu;28046920]wait he actually went into manual settings for that?[/QUOTE] He could have possibly took a shot in auto and copied the settings into manual mode :ninja:
all the settings and info make no sense to manual control. Maybe it just says manual because it was in P mode or something
and hes using a lens from 1987.
Is it wrong that I just got my drivers license and instead of saving up for a car, I just keep saving up for photography equipment? :v: I don't think i'll have a car in the next 3 years if I keep this up. But honestly I prefer having an awesome camera and taking photos than being able to drive. Anyways, right now I've just got: -Canon EOS 400D -Two kit lenses -Sigma 50mm 1.4 -Rusty old tripod -Ugly camera bag Saving up for a 60D. After that i'll probably save up for a new bag and then maybe an external flash.

[QUOTE=daijitsu;28046456]take the questions/suggestions to 'which camera is for me' thread, this is more an "I have this" thread, no?[/QUOTE] I was posting in this thread because I already know which camera I'm getting, and since this was the gear discussion thread I figured it would be the correct thread to talk about what Accessories/lenses that I should get being a beginner and all. I guess I'll start using the other thread though if I'm really in the wrong one. [QUOTE=codenamecueball;28046292]i made a list of stuff that you can get with your 60D, although I'd ditch the 55-250 and for acsessories.[/QUOTE] Could you please pm me or post up this list.
[QUOTE=Bigboy855;28035534]Hey camera gear thread. I am wondering if you can help me out. I'm going to buy a Canon 60d bundled with a kit but I don't know which one to get. My budget is $1,800 USD. Basically in the kit I want 1-2 lenses, I would like both of these images to be IS, I would like one to be an 18-135mm or an 18-55mm Canon lens. A Canon 60d. A 16-32 GB high speed card. A flash if possible. A spare battery. A camera bag to hold the equipment. UV filters if possible. A Lens cleaning kit. I'm just asking for some help(and hopefully in the right thread), if you guys could help that would be awesome. :smile:[/QUOTE] [img]http://cl.ly/4a0n/Screen_shot_2011-02-14_at_13.22.26.png[/img] I'm sure you can find some things a little cheaper.

Damn son, how much is all that gear worth?
somewhere between very much and a lot
[QUOTE=Jaanus;28053674]somewhere between very much and a lot[/QUOTE] No seriously, how much? Looks damn expensive.
I guess somewhere around 4000 quid
[QUOTE=Jaanus;28053788]I guess somewhere around 4000 quid[/QUOTE] Holy fuck, you're living my dream.
Over how long? I've put about £700 into gear so far since October. Will put pics up when I get my flashgun and bag.
Uhh, since 2006 I guess. The mark II and 24-70mm alone are worth £2600

riding a bike in search of good photographs feels MUCH more inspiring than driving a car around town. There's less distraction, less obstruction by the vehicle, more places you can squeeze into, and pulling over to get a shot doesn't require a whole road shoulder or parking spaces.

FF is not an 'upgrade' so to speak, it's more of a characteristic. He might want a 7D.
once i can afford it, im getting 5D III to replace my 1000D
I'd improve my skills before I started even thinking about making purchases like that.
