How big of a difference are cross type points on DSLR?

I'm considering the Nikon D5100 after not being able to afford the Canon T4i.
I read online some people complaining about the D5100's AF point and how it's "disgusting", and that it only has one cross-type focus point?

How much of a difference is having 1 vs 9 cross type focus points? Is it just that it's easier to use, or does it produce a better image?
Added (1). Also.are these Nikon D5100 VS Canon 60D images accurate?
http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Nikon_D5100/sample_images.shtml
http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Canon_EOS_60D/sample_images.shtml

In those images the 60D ones look really bad compared to the D5100, especially the color and contrast of the ocean. Are they accurate or was it just the person using it that messed up?
Added (2). Sorry I forgot ONE more thing!:
Can the human eye detect this difference in the screen resolution?
1, 040k dots vs 920k dots

The website I got that info from states that the 1, 040k dots resolution screen makes it easier to tell if the image is accurately focused.

Possible battery leak inside Nikon F-501?

I recently was given my Grandad's old camera a Nikon F-501, and he was always one for looking after his things so there is no problem with anything on the camera, except because he has been sadly gone since 2001, I guess the camera has just sat since then.

I opened up the battery compartment and there were the old batteries still in there, around the end of one was a crust which I guess was where a battery had leaked and then been left to dry? My Nan wouldn't have at any point looked or opened the camera, I replaced the batteries after cleaning up the crust, but there is no life in the camera.

Would the battery leak probably have ruined the internals of the camera? I can't get any signal from it no matter what I try, I'm new to the photography world so I don't really know what to try, so any help would be appreciated.

Looking to buy a DSLR camera for the first time - any recommendations please?

I'm beginning in digital photography, and I'm really enjoying it so far. I've started saving money to buy a DSLR but I have no idea which one I should buy. I've been borrowing my dad's Canon 350D (his friend gave it to him a while back so it's about 5 years old) and we're both still learning it.

I asked my teacher (who's a pro photographer) for a recommendation and she's a Nikon girl, haha.but she said to just read up specs on them.

I'm still learning so I don't know all the terms yet, but I'd like a DSLR camera (any brand but I did learn on a Canon) that I can learn on. Any recommendations for me please?

Thanks!

Nikon D5100 lenes? Amazing quality?

I have the default lens that comes with my Nikon and a telescopic Nikor lens… I LOVE the quality of the telescopic lens but it's sort of hard to use when doing profiles so I just want a standard lens that will preform great quality like that one… Would a 50mm work good?

New Nikon lenses on old Nikon film SLRs?

I'm fairly certain I already know the answer but I'm just looking for some confirmation. I know that using old manual focus lenses on Nikon DSLRs isn't recommended since they can't meter, but on the other hand, most new Nikon lenses will work fine on old film SLRs, correct? Will there be any performance differences / issues (not including autofocus capability for very old bodies)? And also, how would DX lenses perform on film SLRs — would FX lenses be the only viable option? I would be looking to get lenses that work well both on film and digital SLRs.

An aside, what would be a good, mechanical Nikon film SLR? Preferably metal-body and very durable.

Thanks.

New DSLR - Which One?

I've been with Canon for a while now.My Canon 550D just died on me and I'm looking for a replacement. I went into my local camera store and was amazed at the various DSLR's they had. Some from Sony and a couple from Nikon. Especially the Nikon cameras seemed to have a lot of power under the hood for the price. Something like 24mpx compared to the same priced Canon cameras which had half of that.

I'm looking to get the Canon 650D, but I'm open to suggestions. What would be the best "camera for the buck" to get?
Added (1). @Jim, by "died" I mean it died.It was a factory fault and I had the choice of either getting the same camera or getting cash. I chose cash as I'm wanting to try something different.

@Keerok, I know the difference between Canon models. They're the ones I'm most familiar with. But when I visited the local camera shop, I saw several models and makes ranging from Canon, Pentax, Nikon and a slew of others.

I'm looking for some advice to which camera (doesn't matter brand) that gives you the most "bang for the buck". I enjoy Canon cameras and always have. But I'd like to try something different for the sake of it.

Teenage Photographer?

Hey guys! So I was just wondering what you thought of my photography. I started taking interest in it about a year and a half ago and I pretty much fell inlove with it. I really don't want to be one of those "annoying teenger with a Nikon and think they're automatically a photographer." I really do love it and I'm thinking about doing it in college.

39 vs 51 Auto Focus Points?

The only differences in the d600 and the d800 Nikon Cameras I care about are these. If these were the same (either low or high), I'd pick the d600 for the price tag.It's a 1, 000 dollar difference btwn the two (as of right now), otherwise.

To me… both sound amazing. I have the first d5100 that came with 9 Autofocus points. Not even the ones with 11 (that they all come with now). *rolls eyes*, so 39 seems amazing and 51 sounds overwhelming. I figure though… if I'm going to shell over over 2k for a camera… and 51 points is WAY better… I'll dish out the dough for it later. I'd be happy with either: P

Advice on going for a DSLR?

So I've been mulling this over for a few months but I'm going to get a DSLR. I've grown sick of getting back uploading my photos and thinking "that's not what it looked like". The one I've decided on is the Nikon d3100, seems like a pretty good entry level DSL but I'm now being baffled by all the add ons.
I'm going to Paris for my birthday next month and obviously would like to take the camera, as you can imagine funds are tight too because I'm saving for my holiday. Now I keep being told I need to buy extras for it like tripods and UV filters (some people say UV filters are completely pointless on modern DSLRs too)

Why is the shutter speed so slow?

Okay so I have to go take some pictures of my friends band at their show later today. I'm borrowing my teachers Nikon D40. And I noticed that whenever I put the camera on the no flash setting, the shutter speed gets really slow for some reason and the pictures come out blurry. Why is that? is there anyway I can fix it? I already checked the shutter speed and it was fine.and I tried it on other settings and it was fine but only on the no flash setting, it starts acting weird.

Nikon 35mm and 50mm questsion?

2 in 1 question for you:
Q1. Does the Nikon AF-S 50mm f1.8 G and the Nikon AF-S 35mm f1.8G DX have a built in auto focus motor (i think that's what someone called it)
I have a Nikon D5100, and because the body doesn't have a built in autofocus function, so I need a lens with a built in autofocus motor.

Q2. For travel, would you reccomend the 35mm or the 50mm?
Thanks

I don't know what i want for Christmas, what are you asking for?

No rude comments please.

My husband is driving me crazy asking what i would like for Christmas, but i just don't know. I am 20, and a proud mommy. I love the outdoors and most any electronics.

I guess he's doing this to me because i did this to him last week, and i finally figured out what i am getting him. (hunting things and manly things.)

I REALLY wanted a new Nikon D5100 camera with a lens, but that will be $600+ and that is definitely out of our price range. I also love the tablets, especially the Samsung 10.1 16GB tablet. Again though, out of our price range, its around $500.

As for the outdoors, i ride horses. We already have 3, just sold one actually. I have two saddles and i have several bridals. I have tie downs and saddle pads. Pretty much have everything i need, more than i need.

I have a smaller Nikon camera. Its a long zoom. I have a very nice HP entertainment laptop. I have an iPhone. Other than the two things i listed i don't know what else i would like to have.

We prefer no gift cards.

What are you asking for? or maybe you have a suggestion? personal experience with a lower priced electronic?

I do love puppies! and would be satisfied with just that. But my husband doesnt want any dogs in the house because of our 9 month old little girl. (fleas, hair, and we don't want her to be bitten. She doesn't understand some things hurt them. )

Please help me. I want to let him know soon. But im so unsure.

Thanks in advance!

Camera recommendations?

I'm looking into getting a camera but I'm not sure which one I want. I would like to get either a Nikon or a Canon. Here are my requirements:
-Good zoom (I will be taking a lot of really close up photos to draw and if i get a close up of say a bee on a flower i want no loss of clarity)
-Good in low-light (I will be taking a lot of pics in the woods where light may be scattered, I want to be able to pick up the variations of light and be able to see them in the photograph without using a flash
-Reasonable price (I'm new to this and I don't want to pay like 1000$)
-Relatively compact (I understand it won't be the size of your average camera but I don't want to have to lug a giant case and a bunch of extra lenses to the barn or into the woods)

So what would you recommend?

Nikon D300 (s) vs D7000?

I will soon be upgrading to one of these cameras. Please don't suggest I switch to Canon, Pentax, or Sony. I already have Nikon gear, so I'm sticking with the one brand. I shoot alot of my kids sporting events: Football, Soccer, Volleyball, Wrestling. I will be using a Nikon 80-200 AF f2.8 lens. I have done extensive research on these two cameras, and I am stuck as to which one will be best for me. I realize that the D7000 is a newer design, higher MP (which I'm not concerned about in the least), and better low light performance. What I am looking for is someone who has had real world experience with both models. All other things being equal, I would buy the D7000, but it just seems by the specs that the 300(s) is better suited for sports with better auto focus, a bigger heavier body to help control the heavy lens, & easier ergonomics for adjustments on the go. I am not worried about IQ of one vs the other. I have been using a D100 for the last, well forever, and I get excellent results from that camera, so either of the new ones should do as far as that is concerned. Also, I don't really care about video. I have an HD video camera.

Best low-light video DSLR?

Hi,

I want to buy a HDSLR and was wondering what would be the best for low light shooting and also overrall (without considering the price)? Let's say… your top 5.

The Nikon D7000 seems to be a good choice overall but it looks like the video is not that great… I don't know if that's true though…

The T2i seems to be the most affordable choice but lacks the 2 slots for example… and I don't know how good is the video.

The Mark II looks like it's really the best but it's "old" so I'm not sure about what replaced it? The D3s?

Thanks
Added (1). Actually i'm not the one saying that the video on the nikon d7000 didn't seem good, I think it does but I read many reviews (like in cnet) that say it's the the best choice for video and another said it wasn't at all good to put it on blu-ray… but they don't explain why so … that's what I'm trying to find out!

For everyday point and shoot shots, which mirrorless camera should I choose?

Basically I'm very confused as to which camera to get for general point and shoot type shots. Current considerations are the Panasonic Lumix GF3, Sony Nex-5 and Nikon 1 J1. I'll be using it mainly for travelling so there will be a variety of shots - outdoor, indoor etc

I was initially looking at the J1 for its speed but the general review for the camera isn't that great, so now I'm juggling between that, Sony NEX-5 and Lumix GF3

The main things I'm really looking at is for reasonably fast autofocus and a small compact size (image quality for them all are said to be great so I'm not too overly concerned with that). I know pancake lenses are available for them all, but my question is if they're good for everyday purposes? Nikon's 10mm lens is said to not be really fit for all purposes, and I'm not too sure I want to lug around the other 10-30mm lenses when I'm on the go.

Long story short -
Nikon J1, Sony NEX-5 or Panasonic Lumix GF3?

(And yes, I know there are lots of people who don't quite like mirrorless cameras, and feel that they're overpriced and whatnot and it's more worth it to get a DSLR, but I'm looking for compact with future options to go further)

Tips for using manual focus?

Ive recently purchased the nikkor 50mm f/1.8g lens for my entry level dslr (dx format) i have been having a lot of fun with it but im just having such a hard time with the manual focus. For ex. Today i took some family pictures for a good friend.just messing around getting more expirience. And about half of my photos were out of focus when i was using manual focus.

Buying DSLR, canon loyalty program, eBay?

Is it safe to purchase a DSLR camera from eBay? or are most defective, have cheap parts, or missing parts, etc? Where would be an alternative (besides craigslist) to get a T4i or Nikon d5100 for the best price?

I still haven't decided between the two, but those are my top choices, I still have to go in store to see how they feel in my hands, but at my local best buy they are very expensive. I know DSLRs are expensive, but there's a price variation between stores, like with almost any product.

How does the Canon loyalty program work? I've read about it, but I don't quite understand, can I just purchase any old/used canon even if it doesn't work, and use the loyalty program to get a discount on a t4i or t3i? For instance, if I send them a Canon EOS rebel Ti for how much could I get a t4i in the trade? and do I have to give the camera with a lens or can it be body only? and would I get a better deal if the lens is included?

What Nikon lens would be best for me?

Okay this is what I want from a lens. (Plz suggest the cheapest lens possible, if its not cheap, break the news to me slowly… lol)
-Steep depth of field when taking pics of an object from further away without having to zoom in too much
-Wide aperture
Basically like this = image

Another quick question. Will the ISO menu change on the camera if you change lenses? Or is does the ISO settings just come with the camera? Thank you. Hope I don't sound too amateur lol

Should I pay to get my Nikon fixed, or just buy a new one?

I have a Nikon D60 that I've had for about 3 years. A couple weeks ago, it malfunctioned and will no longer take photos.It says 'release shutter button.' I have to send it to Nikon and have heard that it costs about $150 to get it fixed, and some have said after getting it fixed, it happens again. I don't know if I should get it fixed or maybe get a new camera, possibly a canon with video, since the D60 doesn't have video features. I'm not a professional photographer or anything, but I love the quality a dslr gives me. I can't live without my camera! What should I do? Nikon vs. Canon? Any opinions? Thanks!

What dslr camera is best for me? - 1

I am a beginner when it comes to dslr cameras. But i am super interested in photography and would like to upgrade from my point and shoot camera. I have researched some and found two but im not sure about them. The first is the Nikon d3000, and this is the one im leaning more towards. The other is the Cannon Rebel t3. Both with the starter kit lenses. I know, i know, rival brands, but i dont really have a preference. I really want it to be able to take good pictures of sunsets, because i live near the beach, and of course people. I also dont really want a video setting, if that helps. Which camera is better? can you give pros/ cons? Or if there are any better options please let me know! Thanks!

The Nikon J1, if not, what else?

I am 13 years old, and I love taking photographs outside and nature shots. I need a new camera, and I have worked really hard to save up 500 dollars. I was looking online, and I saw the Nikon J1. I have no idea about cameras at all. I don't know what to look for, and whats bad.Is that a good camera? If not, can you suggest some?

-Light
-Portable
-Good Zoom
-Good outside
-Good megapixel

Is f/2 enough for night photography?

I'm planning to buy a new lens due to the fact that my two current lenses don't have a fast enough aperture for low light situations. I have a D90 and an F100 which basically means that i will need an FX lens that works on both cameras. I want a 35mm lens so it will be a 50 on my d90 and a 35mm on my F100. I was wondering if f/2 is a fast enough aperture for night and low light situations.

(beginner) Buying a dslr soon, a good idea?

Okay so I've done a lot of research and at last I think I'm going to get the Nikon d5100.

At first I wanted a dslr, but then I changed my mind to a mirrorless camera(because I like it's size and convinience) but then people start to change my mind about how it's not good, and personally I don't like the fact that it doesn't has a viewfinder too.So I looked again at dslr.

Now I've finally decided the Nikon d5100
But I'm scared I will end up with feeling lazy and awkward to carry that big, bulky thing to a lot of functions and eventually wasted my money on buying a dslr?

Plus, I'm a kinda shy high school student who is going to college next year, and I'm afraid that if i carry that camera around college next year, i will gain the reputation as a show off or something bad? Am i thinking too much?

DSLR Photographers- advice please!

I am purchasing my first DLSR, the nikon d5100. This is for photography, not casual "oh, lets take some pictures of the kids" stuff. I was wondering which would be of better value: to purchase it with the kit lens, or buy it as a body only and get a better lens, such as the 55-300mm.My friend owns this and uses it as her main lens. She said it was around $200 (so cost isnt the issue). The question really is, which lens is the best for general use? Thanks!

Best Bokeh Lense (Nikon)?

Anyways, I'm looking at Nikkor AF-S 50mm f1.8G/f1.4G
My main use will be for Cosplay-photography, so not looking at longer focal lengths which I've seen a few websites recommending for good bokeh. I'm also planning to do some low light shots as well…

My point is, which lens would be more suitable for what I'm doing - both bokeh as well as overall shooting. I know the main difference is the aperture, so it's obvious to go for the f1.4, but a lot of the reviews have said that the f1.8 is better financially and photographically/not much difference at all in comparison to f1.4. Which would be worth the money?

It will be my first DSLR + Lens purchase and many of my friends are canon users, so excuse any misunderstanding I have made. Feel free to suggest anything else that may be helpful.

How to become a successful film director?

I will be a successful film director. I have the initiative and ambitious desire to create and portray stories that bring out emotions never felt before. I do not care if it takes 22 hour work days or buy assholes coffee in order to network. This all must be a necessary sacrifice. I having nothing holding me back from where I am living, so I am open to traveling.

I am 17 and a senior in high school.My GPA is 3.5, my ACT score is 28, I am a member of the NHS, and I am taking my SAT the 27th.My senior courses are Photography, AP Art History, Art 4, Graphic Design, AP Calculus, and English 4.My previous courses throughout my life have been honor classes.

Should I go an art college to study film producing/directing? Or one that focuses more on liberal arts? People tell me not to pay for film school, for you can learn everything utilizing the internet. I look at it as you are going to college AND PAYING FOR CONNECTIONS; which in the end getting a job interning would recompense. I stay up to all hours of the night figuring out what is the best way to become a successful director/producer with a consistent income to pay back my loans. Living near Canton, Ohio, I have looked into University of Southern California, New York Film Academy, SCAD, and Bowling Greens University. I went to the National Art Portfolio day to visit art colleges such as the Pratt Institute, VCUarts, CIA, and CCAD. I strongly believe due to my portfolio and what they critiqued, I could get into any of these art colleges.

I am currently recording/directing/producing a short film using a Nikon D7000, and editing it with Adobe Premier.My best friend is in a band and can design the soundtrack.

Having 20, 000 saved up with the potential to get scholarships from my hard work in academics, should money hinder me from going to New York or California? L. A.is where that industry is. That is where I can go to make stories with universal themes, so more people can relate. Would going to New York hinder me from only seeing my highest publicity at SUNDANCE. I would just want more publicity than Sundance and making indie movies. Should I study film at an art institute? With my financial situation of only 20, 000, should I major in something else to save for film college? Is there an advantage of going at such a young age? What a stressful gamble this is.

Amateur photography learning the ropes?

I'm trying to teach myself how to take full advantage if my nikon d3000 via the Internet.It's all very overwhelming, but I think the best way for me to get a grasp of aperture, shutter speed, and iso is to know approximately where these setting should be at in different scenarios and then make adjustments from there. For example lets say I'm taking photos of my daughter outside on an overcast day or in the shade with a blurry background. Where would be a good starting point? And how about the same situation indoors near a window? Or outside on a sunny day? If you have any other helpful tips for me I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much!
