Cameras, Lenses.... & Stuff!

What sort of camera do you have? What sort of camera would you love? Are you after a new camera or camera part, but don't know what to get?? Start a new thread and let us know!!

Would like to try the SLR cameras but need to LEARN alot before I spend the big $$$ on one.

I have a little pinky Fuji digital camera at the moment, not sure the model as it's in my bag still from my work party last night and I'm way too tired to go check!

that sounds like the same as i have Megan!! A fuji finepix J12!! A cute little pink one that i take everywhere with me!!

Ah yep, that is ringing a bell...

I will definitely be in the market for a decent digi SLR soon! I have a Pentax (film) SLR but don't really use film any more because I am too lazy and digi is so much cheaper. When I do get a new camera I will be looking for another Pentax, because the lenses from my other camera will fit straight on to the digi one.

I would love a digi slr too!! One day i might be lucky enough to get one!!

Santa says I've been too naughty this year!

I thik i have too!! If i didn't keep shopping for scrapping supplies that i simply NEED, then i might be able to afford one!!

I have a Canon Digital SLR and I love it. Worth the wait to save up for it.

I too have a Canon Digi SLR - It was my birthday pressie this year, and I LOVE it. Now I just have to learn to use it to its full potential. I use auto and the semi auto modes because anything I do in manual sucks. I also have a little Canon point and shoot that goes nearly everywhere with me.

I am sooooooo hoping for a tripod and a new lense for Christmas, I am thinking I would like a really good zoom lense and then a macro lense. Here's hoping Santa is good to us all.....

I found some good lenses on ebay.

Robyn - what model do you have?

An older one...400D but I still love it. I have been trying to use the manual part too but like you need to know more. I would like to do a course.

I have a Canon 400D DSLR (Rebel as it is known is the USA) and really love it as well, have had a lot of cameras in my time but this one is so easy to use. Same as everyone I use Auto or Semi-auto and would love to do a course to learn how to use manual. Can anyone recommend an all-round lens. I have seen the Tamron one that will do closeup and distance but the sizes and prices vary, it would just be so much quicker not to have to change lenses. What did you get on EBay Robyn?

Some lenses which are for closer photos.

I am a Nikon girl

I have the D90 and just adore it! I use it for everyday snaps and for the weddings I shoot. I am no pro, but through word of mouth (and Family) I have 5 weddings booked over the next 12 months, so I am pretty excited!!!

The first few weddings I did paid for the D90, so it was worth the investment.

My Film SLR was a Pentax and it was a fantastic camera, the MZ10.
After it I got out of SLR's too $$$$ for me then. I used the fuji S5000 and love the zoom on it!

Another Nikon girl here too I've had my D60 for almost 2 years now... Time for an upgrade

My favourite lens is my Nikkor 50mm 1.8, next on my dream list is a 50mm 1.4 - that's a little down the track though - If anyone wants awsome portraits I can't recommend this lens higher - It's great for DOF <3 it!!!
