ctrl_alt_del Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Back again for some more help. Suggest me some lenses for my T1i. I am willing to spend around $500 to $600 but if I can get something cheaper, I would not mind. Right now I have the basic kit lens. So should I get a macro and a tele-photo zoom lens as well?

Bulovski Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 So should I get the 3100D? Seems the 1100D hasn't come out yet. And 3100 D still has better specs. What about any Sony camera in that range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anshul Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) Back again for some more help. Suggest me some lenses for my T1i.

Not too familiar with canon lenses, but the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM should do a great job. I use 300mm all the time and I'm so glad I didn't go for a shorter telephoto. For macro I'd get the Tamron 90mm f/2.8. Edited February 14, 2011 by Anshul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctrl_alt_del Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Thanks, will check out the prices of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Stryke Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 The 1100D has Auto exposure bracketing. One thing that is very good for a product in its price range. Other wise I dont see how the D3100 is better. I'm assumin u r not comparing resolutions here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulovski Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Well I have no idea really. http://thenewcamera.com/?p=3699 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anshul Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I'd go for the Nikon simply for the rear thumb dial. It's so much more comfortable but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonCore Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 How is LR3 compared to Aperture? I tried LR when it came out but didn't like it. The RAW workflow was way behind Aperture and only plus point it had was PS integration. And Aperture seems to be slow in updating camera database, they just added my Kiss X4 few weeks back.

Death Stryke Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Yea. See both r equally good and no camera is going to give u better results. Heck u could buy a 60D and you would get same results. get a feel of the 3100 before buying. See if your palm index finger and thumb sit well on the body of the cam. If u like the feel, just go for the nikon. Seriously nothing to think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulovski Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Good point - let me go to a shop and check it out. I've used a Canon S5 IS till now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a classic Nikon or Canon question CC. I would suggest you try out both. Mac user atleast has the benefit of having A3. A3 has great photo library management while LR3 has great photo editing tools. Aperture meshes with the OSX ecosystem very well. But performance and speedwise LR3 leads A3 definitely. Also try Hydra, very good HDR tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it exactly ? I mean, what kind of effect it has on the pic ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, what kind of effect it has on the pic ? The cam takes 3 pics, each with different levels of brightness so you get to select the right one. Never found the need to use it tbh.

Death Stryke Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) ^Easy HDR if you use a program like Photomatix pro or Hydra. @Neo Like anshul said, it takes 3 pics in succession with 3 eV or exposure levels (eg -1,0,+1 eV). You can choose what has the best exposure or its widely used in getting HDR photos wherein all 3 images are merged in the program and it outputs the HDR image. Basically you get an image with the full color intensity range Edited February 14, 2011 by Death Stryke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ne0 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 ^^ Hmmm, thanks. This is the only thing absent in nikon 3100 I guess, which is ok by me. I think 3100 is the best model at that price range currently ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
