We've been the opposite... We've always owned just the tiny compact digital cameras due to my wife wanting something that she can throw in her pocket and take pictures with using one hand. But this year I finally got the financial committee to sign off on a Canon Rebel t4i. I'm loving what I can do with it and the wife is happy that it has a full "auto" mode that still takes damn good pictures. I did photography a long time ago with a manual 35mm Olympus film camera and nearly forgot all the fun you can have with f-stops and exposure lengths. Throw in a good set of neutral density filters and it's set to go.
But holy crap the lenses are expensive! I'm now lusting over a couple of Canon lenses, the 18-135mm STM IS and a fixed 40mm STM IS and waiting for a good sale before buying... Would really like some of the USM lenses, but those cost more than the camera!... LOL! I will say that the ones that came with the camera (a package deal from Buy.com) are really good but they don't cover some of the things I want to do. -------- Original Message -------- > From: "Zaphod Beeblebrox" <zaph0d.b33bl3b...@gmail.com> > Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2013 1:26 PM > To: "cf-community" <cf-community@houseoffusion.com> > Subject: Camera's > > I've owned a Nikon D80 for several years now along with about 5 lenses. > This christmas I put a Nikon 1 on my wishlist and got it.

Makes sense since it's about 6 years newer tech. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:359589 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
