Canon 30D (personal)
Today I’m very happy.Got my first DSLR.They guys from Nikon outlet called me & said that they have got a D90 which I was searching.I just rushed through & bought.As Mr. Shivanand Sharma & other senior members of APN told earlier, it is really an amazing camera.I am just learning about the features,I just clicked some photos with he auto focus & it comes out great.I want to thank APN & Mr. Shivanand Sharma for guiding me & to help me to choose the right thing.Also bought a Simpex 2400 tripod.Hope I will learn about DSLR features from APN.I’m trying to learn the post editing so that i can digitally manipulate my photos.
THANKS YOU ONCE AGAIN…APN
Are we talking about a treat here?
Congratulations on your purchase. I hope you are able to utilize the tripod. Now… you only need another camera to send us some screenshots
Now all you have to do is study that manual, (before you need to) and go out and use it.
Buying it is the easy part.
Good shooting
Paul

Well said
Hello Sir, wish you & all the APN members a very happy new year.The last time I’ve wrote here before buying my first DSLR.APN really helped & guided me, the result is I bought the Nikon D90…& I’m very much satisfied with that camera.It is really a great one recomended by you.Now I’m learning various things & trying to improve my photography skills.This time again i need your valuable opinion.I am planning to buy a telephoto zoom lens, my budget is Rs. 25000-30000.I’e chosen the Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED, which priced as RS .29,450.
I need your opinion wheater my choice is right or wrong.Also i want to know that as it is a FX format lens will it affect in the photo quality when i add it to my D90 which is a DX format body.
Waiting for your valuable & kind reply sir.
Hello Hirak!
Congratulations on the purchase of a fine camera body. An FX lens should work fine with your DX sensor and I can not see any reason it for anything but the sharpest, brightest images. It is my personal belief that one should steer clear of the “crop lenses” designed for only the smaller senors. These lenses, while good, are limited in use to the crop (24mm in the DX case) sensor bodies. If you should ever decide to use a full frame sensor body, you would have to purchase lenses yet again. This is because the “crop lenses” sit further back in the camera body and could interfere with the larger mirror assembly on a full frame body. There is no problem in the reverse.
The only “issue” (not really a problem, just something to consider) using lenses designed for 35mm film is that you have too take the smaller sensor into account. Your focal length of the lens is multiplied by the corp factor (1.5 for the DX) and so the 70mm on the bottom actually equates to 105mm. On the top end, 450mm. This is great for shooting telephoto and an lot of folks use crop sensor bodies precisely because of this.
As for quality, get the best lens you can afford that will fit the widest range of Nikon bodies. Your lenses will be with you for decades, while the camera system’s body only several years on average. Your thought of going with FX lenses is a sound one for sure!
Thank you Mr.Matthew Matchura for you kind & valuavble comments.I have decided to buy that FX Lense (70-300mm).
Hi i use the Canon EOS 1DS normally with the 24-105 L series lens, however on many occasions I still use the 50 mm 1.4 lens too!! I believ this is a great piece of kit for shooting most things like portraiture, weddings, etc…
I’ve recently started out in the world of photography, I’m using the Canon EOS 1000D, I’ve just brought a new lens and flash for it and can’t wait to get out there and take some really good picture, so far I’ve been tinkering around with it and waiting for the weather to get a little better, I wish I’d have had it during winter there were so many great shots I could have taken if I’d have had it then. Just started my website and trying to get a few more bookings for weddings and portrats then I can really take off.
I’m a proud owner of Nikon D5000 : )
I’ve been using Nikon’s D200 for a few years now and it has served me well. The only problem I’ve experienced with it so far is that if I load 2 en el3′s at that same time the second one shorted out. Maybe the battery itself was no good but I haven’t tried that experiment again. Batteries aren’t cheap! Whenever I shoot pro, I use AC anyway. I also have the 800 flash but have hardly ever used it.
I own Nikon D3100 DSLR camera and I’m really satisfied with it!
hiiiiiiiiiiiiii everyone
can anyone tel me about NIKON D3100 i’m planing to buy it out of my first savings….
I have recently bought a Canon EOS 550D…The lens provided with it is a 18-55. i am intested in capturing people and landscape. in future i wish to click some creative photos too.
i am a lover of monochromes. if you kindly advise me regarding these genres and also help me with understanding light and patterns i shall be benefitted and thankful…
Sure. But we’ve already covered them Most of them are in the navigation across the top. You can also use the search box.
Hi all, I don’t see many Olympus fans here. I own the Olympus E3 & E620 bodies with a whole series of lenses from the Zuiko 9-18mm ultrawide to Zuiko 300mm f2.8. I’m not a professional photographer but do it as a passion. My favourite subjects are wildlife & nature. I chose the Olympus gear for their excellent weather sealing & in body image stabilization.
I have Nikon D5000, but planning to move to Leica M9 next year any suggestions ?

Hello everyone! First off I would like to say this is a fantastic site. It’s always the one I turn to for info.
I use a Pentax K5 and K7. The lenses most used are DA70mm, F50 1.7, DA 10-17mm fish-eye (a REALLY fun lens!), and a DA 55-300mm.
I love my setup, and like it has been said, read the manual. Sometimes it’s a bit of slogging through it, but perservere. And lots of practice!
I have just upgraded my Canon 450D for the Canon 60D and learning all the extra functions and settings. I have 3 Canon lens, 17-85mm the 60mm macro and the 70-300mm kit lens that came with my 450D camera. I want to upgrade this one for either the 70-200 f/4 L IS USM or 70-300 f4-5.6 L IS USM both these lens have the same filter size as my 17-85mm which will save me from purchasing more filters. I use ND and polarizing filters a lot and occasionally a star filters on some night shots. Love my 60D.
I currently Own a Canon 40D with 18-55mm kit Lens plus I have a Sigma 70-300mm & my Favourite lens the 50mm MkII f1.8 Prime, it is such a versatile Lens And I feel it has mad me a’better Photographer as far as composition is concerned as you have to move to get the image into frame I waa so inspired using this lens for a few months I also used Canon Film Camera with a 50mm Prime (Obviously a true 50mm) On my wish list is an upgrade Canon which had HD movie Mode as I also like shooting Film
