Anshul Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Keep the T1i and spend the money on a good lens (and a flash if you shoot a lot indoors). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonCore Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 All the metadata is on flickr. Just click on the pic and then nikon d700 on the right. Oh nice, I always avoid using full 250mm on my 55-250 lens since the image comes out too soft, but thats one of the kit lenses. Yours look properly sharp.

ctrl_alt_del Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 @Athek: Paid $633 for it. Thats the best price that I could find. @Death_Styke: But T1i supports HD video...1080p @ 20fps. In any case, the noise itself would render HD video shooting worthless. Will get a HD camcorder in a month or so. @Anshul: Makes sense. Haven't thought about the flash. Any suggestions? To top it all, UPS delayed the delivery by two days because of the snow and now it shows that the "Reciever refused to accept the delivery". Need to find out what exactly happened once I get back home. I hope I can go pick it up from their offices tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctrl_alt_del Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Awesome pics Anshul, you have a flair for this. And thanks for the recommendation. Can you please recommend a good lens-upgrade as well? Sub-$300? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ne0 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 @cad, nice camera. I'm leaning a bit towards nikon 3100 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulovski Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 How's Nikon D3100? I need a camera which shoots HD Video as well and in that price range. The Canon 1100d is still not out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel81x Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) @Athek: I went too sadly my camera was with the mrs for a baby-shower for her cousins. oh well ... it was an okish event imo On another note, how is Lightroom for photo management and a little bit of touching up? I hear its quite good and it even offers lens correction filters? Edited February 13, 2011 by Mel81x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Stryke Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) Lightroom 3 is pretty awesome and unless photography is your bread and butter, it is more than enough. Decent learning curve and great library management too. Plus great variety of lens correction and other filters available online too. I prefer Aperture since I am used to it, but LR3 is quite good too. @Bul D3100 is quite good. A great first DSLR. Dont think much. It would be a great 720p video shooter too. But dont expect the continuous focus to be good in the D3100 due to the noise it generates. Otherwise, I would suggest you fork up for a few more grands and get the T1i or D5000. Much better investment. Edited February 13, 2011 by Death Stryke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anshul Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) Lightroom 3 is amazing if you shoot raw. It does a great job with noise reduction, recovery and fill light (though the last 2 also depend on the compression of the raw file). The gateway and 2 bulbul pics are heavily tweaked in LR3 and still look natural. Edited February 13, 2011 by Anshul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctrl_alt_del Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 @Anshul: Can you post the original RAW file as well so that we can compare the final output with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctrl_alt_del Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 @Ne0: Thanks! @Anshul: Thanks! I am trying to learn what do you manipulate and what is the difference between the original and the end product. Here are a few pics taken by me, test-shots really: http://img151.imageshack.us/i/img0055lx.jpg/ http://img140.imageshack.us/i/img0054ro.jpg/ http://img577.imageshack.us/i/img0053ls.jpg/ Image Shack wont show the thumbnail for some reason, hence the direct link.
