Any suggestions looking at the D40 , possibly cannon Rebel (have a 710is point and shot)

Used a rebel a few times (dads) but meh i liked the d40 to

-Also place to pick up

jspek · 05-24-2009, 03:42 AM

do you really want to spend that kind of money on a camera? just asking, i hate seeing people buy these dslrs and getting frustrated because the suck at first.

anyway a d40 is a nice cam. i personally dont like them for like 2 reasons, but it is capable of making nice photos.

WRX_JB · 05-24-2009, 03:53 AM

The 2 reasons ?, and i prob wont like it at 1st put im pushing my point and shot to much and not getting what i want , dont mind spending the money for quality and maybe getting my feet a little more wet in the photography part of the enthusiast

jspek · 05-24-2009, 03:58 AM

just personal reasons. 1. its too small for my taste and 2. it doesnt have an auto focus motor which only matters if you wanna use an older lens that doesnt have motor built in it. ive shot with a d40 before and its a good camera.

djb5118 · 05-24-2009, 08:23 AM

^word, my two problems with it as well. Just remember that its not the camera that makes good photos...

as far as where to go, buying online is going to give you the best possible price, but if you MUST have it by 11, go to best buy or something

I have a Canon 20D that I'm trying to sell, comes with everything in the box, a 512mb CF card and a Sigma 18-125mm. $325 I'll bring it all with me just in case you want it.

*ICE* · 05-24-2009, 03:59 PM

WRX_JB · 05-25-2009, 05:53 PM

Stone825 · 05-27-2009, 05:50 PM

Google's Picasa can work pretty well to edit photos.

YO CAMRY · 05-27-2009, 09:51 PM
