So today I sold my Olympus E-420 camera for 300 dollars and picked up a Canon Rebel XS for 200 dollars. It came with a 75-200mm lens(I wanna sell). I am not used to this camera at all! Compared to my Olympus this is like I just got into DSLR camera. Any way here is my first picture with it.

It's so much nicer then my old camera. I feel like I can do a lot more with this and I love manual focus!

So can't fix the white balance?

Still trying to figure that all out. Just got it.

Nice shot. Once you get used to the camera you will love it.

cto424 · 12-12-2011, 11:20 PM

nice upgrade, enjoy it

JDMTyler3326 · 12-12-2011, 11:38 PM

Thanks guys I love it other then the lens!

Burnt2Death · 12-12-2011, 11:47 PM

What don't you like about the lens?

JDMTyler3326 · 12-12-2011, 11:49 PM

To me it's just too big. I have to be very far away for pictures. I just want a smaller lens.

Burnt2Death · 12-12-2011, 11:54 PM

Just saw you have a larger lens... Get the 18-55 and you'll be set for most average shots.

renn · 12-12-2011, 11:57 PM

yeah a 75-200 is a telephoto lens... not prime for car shots. if all you're using it for is car/portrait work get like an 18-55mm lens or something in that range. lower aperture, like an f2.0 or lower will give you a good contrast between the background.

I'll prob pick up a 18-55 one day. Right now I am looking into a 50mm F/1.8.

ourbloodykisses · 12-13-2011, 12:04 AM

you can sure use the 70-200 for automotive photog. but its pretty much the same shot over and over;

Yeah I mean I have no problem using it right now. But some of my photo spots are "small" and I just don't have the room to work with, with this lens. What do you think about the 50mm 1.8 or 1.6 ?

ourbloodykisses · 12-13-2011, 12:11 AM

it'll get you that fast shutter speed but the bokeh for the car photos isnt there as much as it is when you shoot closer to the subject.
I hardly use mine, only to get an effect. for a full shot with the scene around the car, I never use the 50mm
but I guess thats just my style of shooting.

Can you post some pictures you took with the 50mm. I would look to see the "effect" your talking about. I really don't know much about lens, this is the first camera I can buy some for.
