Nikon Nikkor 18-300mm OR 24-120?

Ok, so here it goes--
I have been looking to buy a second lens for a while now, and in a little bit I'm going on a cruise to Alaska. I figured I would use the trip as an incentive to actually carry out this purchase. But, now I'm facing a problem- which lens to get? I am looking at these two so far. What is your opinion on the two? which one would you buy? Could you recommend another similar lens in the price range or lower of these tow lenses. Also- if I were to get the 24-120 lens would I regret not getting the extra zoom range on both ends, especially the 120-300 gap? Thanks for the help!

Making the next step in telephoto lenses?

I am currently using a Nikon D7000 with an 18-105 kit lens on it. I have used the 70-300VR on it many times as a close friend has one and we share lenses all the time. The problem I find is that I don't have enough reach on the 70-300. I am very into sports and nature, specifically birds, photography. I have thought about a teleconverter but I am not convinced about it yet. I am not sure what kind of budget I am looking at yet, but I have been looking at the 300, 400 primes, or the new 80-400 (possibly with a 1.4 teleconverter), or the 200-400. I know these lenses vary in price A LOT, but what are your takes on these lenses or combinations.

My only other concern is that some lenses are f/4s, so would they still work with my D7000 when combined with a 1.4x teleconverter? I know some dont autofocus at f8 on certain cameras, but would it still work? The 80-400 looks to be pretty nice considering it is fairly new, but would it still work on my D7000 with a 1.4x teleconverter? I am not really good at figuring out the aperture when combined with a teleconverter. Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

Canon EFS 70-200mm Lens?

If you dont ask you dont get, so here it goes, casually wondering if anybody has a canon efs 70-200 mm lens that they not longer want, or are willing to give away.

Currently a university student studying photography and cannot afford a lens of this quality.

Would be an incredible stroke of luck if anyone does have one? or if not a nikon/sigma lens also of the 70-200mm style.

Thanks.

Beginning youtuber which camcorder to buy?

I am a photographer, not a videographer. I feel inspired by the Youtubers I follow and would like to start filming for YouTube myself. I am unsure of which camera to look for because I only have a max budget of $400-500 and want to rely on eBay for deals. Ask me about cameras and I would be able to tell you stuff, but camcorders no. What's important for me is image stabilization, being able to film in progressive mode with hd support and relatively decent lower light capabilities (ie.walking through dense forest lighting conditions) or natural light indoors. Mic jack a bonus too. Any thoughts as to what might be a camera to look into. I have a nikon d300 and it doesn't shoot video… so was trying to sift through the many many offerings by canon, panasonic, and sony.
Added (1). Sony makes tones of models. I've been looking at all brands just it's overwhelming and hard to decide which is why I asked for input. 'Brand new Sony' doesn't really help my decision making process.

Have a problem with my camera which has never happened to me before?

Photographers can you please help me. Please don't be rude because I asked a question about this problem earlier today and the response was rude. I have a Nikon D40x and I have noticed that the exposure button doesn't see to me working. You know like when I want to under expose pictures I use that +/- button and the dial? Well on the screen the only thing thats moving is the shutter speed and f stops. I have never had this problem before when the number beside +/- on the screen doesn't increase or decrease. I don't know if it was to do with the cold weather or the battery but its bothering me. I just have a genuine problem and really need help and don't know what to do. Pictures turning out white. I ignored it today and just used the shutter speed and f stops to take the pictures but I'm not happy with the way they turned out. A lot of them turned out very dark, so dark I couldn't even see the buildings. I'm not a 'poser' I know how to use a camera, this is the first time this has happened to me. Please please help me!

How would the Nikon AF NIKKOR 28mm f/2.8D Lens work on my Nikon digital and my Nikon film?

Hi, I'm looking to buy the Nikor 28mm but I wondered what different it will make between my d3200 and my f80 - I know there is a crop factor.Is the case that it will appear as 28mm when put on my film camera, but then with the crop factor when put on a digital it will be around 42mm or something? (so it will appear wider on photographs taken on my film camera than my digital?)

Also, will the auto focus work on both?

Many thanks for any help! :)

I am looking for an entry level DSLR. Most likely Nikon, to shoot concerts with?

I have a budget of around 1000 US Dollars. I was considering the D5200, but i'd have to wait to buy a good prime lense. Should I go with another DSLR? I'm looking for great image quality and low ISOs, any recommendations? I'd have backstage and press access.So low light conditions most likely.
Added (1). Of course it is! A stock lense is not much of use in these types of scenarios.As my first lense, I think i'll go for a 50mm 1.4, probably the Sigma because of the performance wide open. After all, that's what you buy a prime for. I was actually considering it, but I see that the D5200 is a bit more cheaper, and it seems it's a tad bit better in the quality department. The D7000 is of course, really good, that's why it does not have a price drop, but i'm not really looking for speed. :P

Recommended lenses for Nikon DX body user that has no plan to go FX in the near future?

Hey guys, just need your help.

My dream lenses our Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 and Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 VRII. I currently use a Nikon D7000.So here's the catch. I don't plan to change to FX in the near future because I will need that extra boost on the DX sensor.yes I know you could now change FX cameras to DX formats with a few clicks on the menus. But seriously, please recommend some lenses that are good for me, a Nikon DX user.

PS - you might be wondering why I'm still asking this question, because I have just stated to great lenses. Well, read this fact. I said in the near future (around 5-10 years), I won't be buying any FX bodies, just DX bodies.So, the 24-70 is practically useless, and i'd rather buy the Nikon 17-55 f/2.8.So the Nikon 17-55 f/2.8 is one example great for my DX body.

PS again - Yes, I know that the lens I need depends on what I shoot. Well, I'm an events (includes debuts, weddings, birthdays, club parties, and all other events) photographer.

Cheers!

There are a lot of photos where you can see the photo and that circle of the extremity of the lens. I know it's something called fisheye, but there are some photos where you don't see it. I'm thinking about buying a Nikon D3100 and it has the fisheye mode but in some photos it's just a photo more rounded. I just searched for a fisheye lens and the result was the same.

Critically confused in buying a DSLR.!

I've always had interest in photography since the days of the chemical photography. I had film camera before I moved to a point and shoot camera. The P&S served me well for about 4 years. I usually take pictures of events, weddings and college. For video I use my cellphone with 720p video. For the passed year I was constantly trying to achieve things and picture quality that a point and shoot camera is unable to have such as low light photography, bokeh, complete control on every setting of the camera and some casual astrophotography so I've finally decided that it's time to move to a DSLR.

These are the three models that I'm currently considering in my price range:
1. Nikon D5100 w/ 18-55mm lens for Rs.54, 000 (~$550)
2.Canon 600D T3i w/ 18-55mm lens for Rs.57, 000 (~$580)
3.Canon 650D T4i w/ 18-55mm lens for Rs.64, 000 (~$650)

Whatever camera I'll buy I would be buying a 50mm 1.8 lens also and I know the importance of lenses so definitely I'll be investing a lot in lenses after I buy a body.
The problem is that I'm a hell lot of confused between D5100 and T3i/T4i. One of my friend owns a D3200 so I've a rough idea about what D5100 would be like.
1. From Dxomark the image quality of D5100 is significantly better than T3i and T4i and same is the case with the Low light performance with D5100 noticeably better than T3i and T4i (at least that's what dxomark says). This makes me bend towards Nikon
2.As stated earlier I'll be doing some astrophotography(especially capturing Milky Way) as well but I've heard about the star eater effect in the Nikon cameras so when it seems that the D5100 will remove heavenly bodies from the photo and so it is a no for astrophotography this bends me towards Canons.
3.I do a little bit of videography as well I would have loved to see Digital Zoom, the manual control over exposure and aperture and stills while making videos on the D5100.So the Canons are better for video so this also bends me a little bit towards canon but not too much because after all my main focus and main usage would be getting excellent still image quality.
4.When considering Canon once again I become confuse between T3i and T4i. According to dxomark the still image quality of T4i is lesser than T3i. This irony makes me quite confused. Plus although video is improved in the T4i with auto focus along some other very nice features yet still I become unable to comprehend that why did Canon drop the digital zoom in video in the T4i.

So I need some great help regarding this labyrinthian decision that will affect me.

Once I buy a body I'll be unable to buy another for at least good 4-5 years so I can wait for some more time while collecting some more bucks and buy any of these:

Nikon D5200 w/ 18-55mm lens Rs.75, 000(~$760)
or
Canon T5i

5.Is it worth waiting a little more and buying any of these more better bodies?
6. If I wait then what will be eventually better for my time type of work among these?
7. And will the T5i be any better than the T4i and T3i regarding still image quality?

Please answer and help.
Sorry for Bad English
Added (1). Mr hjbjhbj the prices you told me were in Indian Rupees while my prices are correct and in Pakistani Rupees. You sound like a fan boy. Definitely I don't expect much from kit lens. Generally maybe lens of Canon would be better than Nikkor as you are saying but the fact is that the 50mm 1.8D nikkor is better than canon 50mm 1.8 lens because it produces more softer and circular bokeh whereas the bokeh patterns of canon 50mm 1.8 are like pentagrams that look ugly to me.

Cracked NIkon D3100 body - Repair or replace?

In a moment of stupidity, our NIkon D3100 (about 5 months old) was dropped and landed on a concrete floor. The camera is completely still functional. There is however a crack near the battery compartment that exposes the inside. The piece that flew off is missing. Nikon's warranty will not cover this. Should we get it fixed? Patch it up with a body case? How much would a repair cost?

How to push film with an automatic camera?

I have the Nikon N75 and for a project I'm starting to work on I'd like to push my film. However, I can't set the ISO on my camera because it automatically picks up the speed of the film. One of my teachers briefly described a few months ago a way to do it through my exposure.It was something about under exposing or over exposing by a stop or two, but I can't remember what he said. Does anyone know how to do this or have any other suggestions? Also, how long should I develop my film for?

But I'm not an expert at all I have a lot of things to work on but I just have some simple questions that might make me sound really stupid but idk I gotta find out some way.

Okay so when your focusing on the picture you desire why doesn't it let you take it sometimes?

When you take a photo why sometimes does it space the time between the time I press the button and the time it actually takes the photo? It always makes the photo really blurry because of the movement between the time.

Thats all I wanna ask. Please help. Thank you.

Nikon D90 Attachments HELP!

Hi all,

I am fairly new to photography but very interested in learning more so i decided to buy a couple things just to play around with.
I bought these two items off of amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004QKUISO/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002P9HXMW/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The problem is that when i received it, it wont fit on my current lens:
http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-18-105mm-3-5-5-6-Digital-Cameras/dp/B001EO6W8K/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1364297282&sr=8-3&keywords=nikkor+18-105mm+f+3.5-5.6g+ed+vr+dx+lens

The attachments i purchased are to small to be screwed onto the lens… what can i do to fix this? is there some sort of adapter or another lens i have to purchase? thanks for all the help!

Where and how to start as a wedding photographer?

So here is the deal, I consider myself as an intermediate photographer. I'm a graphic designer and learnt photography in college (2 courses of ph). Since then (2007) I got a Nikon D40 which I still own. For bad financial decisions I just haven't been able since then to upgrade my camera. I know it's not about "cameras" but "photographers" what matters and i try repeating that to myself everytime i see so many limitations on my gear but honestly it starts getting annoying because the focusing is not so good so it makes me lose many shots and as my primary business is baby photography is not very easy to keep on manual focusing. Also I shot my bro's wedding and it gave me lots of troubles in poor light conditions (horrible noise at high iso, and other troubles even with a 50mm f1.8 lens)

SO, the thing is I've been trying to get into the business of wedding photography, i feel i can do it but i just can't seem to get any customers! many people ask me prices, my ranges are between $250-700 which i think is ok for my market (i already did some research of similar photographers' prices).

However, what i was wondering is that everybody started somewhere. I started by calling out "casting" baby models on my fb fanpage and that is how i started with children photography and people know me for that.the thing is i like weddings also and i think they can give me better profits than children ph. I wonder how other wedding photographers started out… i mean it's like a vicious circle: no one hires you because you don't have enough portfolio on weddings, you don't have a big protfolio because no one hires you! So, how did others started? I would really appreciate helpful answers specially from actual wedding photographers… did you do one or 2 for free to start a good portfolio? I have so many ideas and things, but i think my social circle is not so good, i don't have many contacts.i've seen others in my city doing that some are good, some aren't, but even them get customers… because they have a wide portfolio to show!

I need to know if it is a good marketing strategy to do some contest on my fb fanpage to get a wedding photoshoot or if it is not.or how on earth to start, to get some nice couple to trust me and let me do their wedding? I'm trying my best, but everyday i notice photography is an expensive profession, you need gear, you need lots of props, stages, backgrounds… i have bought some through the years but i feel it is not enough… anyway, sorry for adding to much to it.i think i'm going through some dissapointment moment… hope you guys can help with some advices.you can check out my webpage at www.moma-studio.com

thanks
Added (1). Thanks for the answers but what i need to know is in fact how some wedding photographers started.did they shoot 1 or 2 weddings for free first? i'm not a total newbie on this, what i need is to get more for my portfolio.please guys check these pictures i've taken and judge.are they just ok or they are in the road to make me become a pro on this? thanks.http://www.momastudiofotografia.com/#!bodas-y-eventos/c117c

Best Nikon lens for under $400?

I am a car photographer looking for the best all around lens for a Nikon D3200. I need it to have both autofocus (AF-S i believe) and vibration reduction. I need it to have a really short zoom (almost none since car photographers have to be fairly close at times) but also take photos from really far away. I need it to be able to take a photo of a car and have the car in focus but the background blurred. And i need sharp focus at all zoom amounts. And as the title says, i need it to cost less than $400.
And please post the link to the lens too so i can find it.

I know this is a lot to ask but i know nothing about lenses. I know a lot about my camera but the lenses are my weak point.

I do photography just for pure enjoyment because it is something I like to do, so I do not know everything there is to know I still have a LOT to learn! I have a Nikon D5000 I have had now for 2yrs and it is the camera I use the most. I never had any problems with getting prints when I edit my photos and now when I try to it is saying that my files are set to a 8X12 instead of 8X10 size and won't print right. I have looked at my camera and all my photo's are same sizing as the others approx.and nothing is any different. I did photos for my cousins wedding be cause she had no one at the last minute and I want to be able to make the files appropriate for her to print them if she choses.Is there any way I can do this to all of them or will I have to do it one by one? Sorry if this is confusing I am very frustrated at this moment because I don't understand and I have been reading everything I can and trying to figure it out on my own but I just can't.

How to properly expose my camera?

Ok so I'm a hobby enthusiast photographer. I currently am set up with a basic d5100 nikon camera with a variety of lenses from a 35mm prime to a 300mm zoom. I'm pretty familiar with its features but I have one type of shot I'm struggling with. If I have a subject with the sun behind them how can I properly expose the picture. I've seen photos taken where the sun looks nice and reasonably clear and yet the subject is well lit and the foreground looks great. Like for a senior picture. I either get the sky properly exposed and the subject is in the dark or the subject looks great and the sky is way over exposed.So how do I get the perfect blend. I have in camera HDR but even that doesn't cut it.Is it basically post photo shoot editing? Photoshop with overlay? Or is it later in the day and the subject is lit with speed lights to help keep everything bright? It's a shot people pull off I can't seem to get. I tried to get a horse in a shot. The grass was golden and lit by the sun. The horse looked great. But when I took the shot the sky was white and over exposed.So I readjusted and got the sky but the horse was in the dark. Thanks for any help. I shoot in RAW format on manual settings.

How to work around no HSS on Nikon d3100?

What lens shall I get for my Nikon D3100?

I have a Nikon D3100 and I am currently using the lens that came with it when I bought it - the Nikon DX 18-55mm 1.3.5-5.6 lens.
I want something with a shallow depth of field. A lot of people have reccomended the Nikon 50mm 1.8 lens, but i'd like to get something a little better than that as its only £80?
I am going to stay using Nikon body's so this lens will stay with me forever meaning I don't mind spending a lot on the lens. I'd like something that's quite recent. (2011 or above)?
I don't want a fixed focal length / prime lens.
I know what's better sigma or nikon?
I'm not too educated on lenses as you can tell, but I basically just want an all round better lens with a shallower depth of field.
I am open to different suggestions and ideas, links and photo examples are welcome!

Thank you in advance.
Added (1). "I do not know how you would expect a "better lens" that would cost less than the 50 mm"

Tripod Required for Full Frame?

Hi all!

I heard something awhile back, and I'm not sure whether I misheard it or whether it was misinformation.

For a full-frame sensor digital camera, is it true that you absolutely need a tripod, that you can't handhold it if you want good pictures? I ask this specifically with the Nikon D800 in mind (I currently shoot with a D5100).

Thanks!

Zoom lens to compliment 18-55mm for d3200?

Hi, I've recently purchased a Nikon D3200 with the kit 18-55 lens and I'm looking for a zoom lens on a bit of a budget (since I'm only 16). I've found a couple of 70-300 lenses by Tamron and Sigma:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tamron-AF-70-300mm-4-5-6-Macro/dp/B000HDZAUA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1364079449&sr=1-1

I've been doing some research and the lens apparently needs a built in motor, as the d3200 doesn't have one on board. Also it would be preferred if the lens had stabilisation as I don't often use a tripod.
Any suggestions are appreciated however I'm on a budget of about £150.
Many thanks in advance! :)

Need help with point and shoot camera choice?

I have a 5 year old Canon Powershot SD990 (14.7 Mega Pixels with a 3.7 Zoom) It's ok, but I wanted to upgrade it for an upcoming vacation. I know I'll have to give up having a viewfinder with the new cameras. The newer cameras appear to be significantly lighter and less clunky, which I like.

I only use my camera for pictures, not for videos. I've always had good luck with Canon cameras and Canon software, so I'd like to stay with Canon. I've tried Sony and Nikon in the past, but my Canons are always the ones I go back to.

I don't want to use AA batteries. I do use the zoom feature for kids' sporting events, graduations, etc., but otherwise I pretty much leave the camera on Automatic. I take pictures both outside and inside our home, and rely on the camera's flash & automatic settings in low light. I would like to be able to enlarge photos to 8X10, and maybe even a little larger. I'd like to keep the cost under $350.

Can you suggest a camera for me? Should I try to go to a 16.1 or higher mega pixel? Is a 5X Zoom enough, or should I go with something more?

Nikon D5200 - A good camera for me?

Hey everyone! If you know anything about photography/cameras, I could really use and appreciate your wisdom! (: For the work I am stepping into for the music industry (promotions, designing, social media, etc), the time has come for me to finally invest in a good camera to show the world what I got. I want a camera that's really going to complement my image taking abilities and something that will provide me with crisp/impressive shots with decent detail to edit on Photoshop. I'll be using it to capture photos at concerts, entertainment events, press, little photoshoots for bands, etc. A camera that I was looking at was Nikon's D5200. I want to make sure that these pictures turn out as great as possible, and are pretty professional quality. The cameras I've used over the years have really taken away from my eye for shots, and I'd like to step up from that. For example: If I'm at a concert and take a picture of a band member on drums, the image would often come out quite blurry/smooshed from all the fast movements- which isn't awesome, haha. I really want something that will be more efficient and I can rely on for whatever I'm doing, wherever I am.Do you think this camera would be a good way to go, and get the job done for what I'm looking for once I get in the swing of things? All feedback is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Good wideangle zoom to go with a Nikon D5200?

I think the crop factor is 1.5?

The perspective I want is roughly 24 - 70mm so with the crop factor that will be about 16 - 46mm

… but I would prefer a fairly wide max aperture (not f4.5 - f5.6 more like f2.8 / f3.5) and image stabilized would be good too.

Any suggestions ?

Sony NEX vs Nikon D5100?

I'm looking to upgrade my camera and have narrowed it down to a D5100, NEX-F3, or NEX-5N. A NEX-6 would be ideal, but I don't want to drop a grand on a casual hobby. The D5100 has everything I want at a price I like, however the size/weight is an issue. Both NEXs have image quality comparable to the D5100, but the F3 lacks a built-in viewfinder and the 5N lacks both a built-in flash and viewfinder.

So basically my question is for people who have gone from an SLR to an NEX; do you find the lack of a built in flash and/or viewfinder restrictive?
Added (1). Are there limitations other than the lack of a viewfinder/flash? I'm not too concerned with lens compatibility since it seems old MF lenses can be readily adapted. Also I don't plan on using an autofocus lens besides the kit 18-55 and probably a prime
Added (2). The lower end NEX models don't have any viewfinder; they are only available as a $2-300 accessory. I'm also not a big fan of EVFs so I probably wouldn't even buy one. I only considered the NEX because image quality is comparable to an SLR, yet it's a fraction of the size, meaning I'd use it more.

Camera offer too good to be true?

Hello all,
I just listed my Nikon D5100 online for $650 and am recieving offers that sound really similar and too good to be true. The guy is willing to pay $650 and is offering 200 dollars for the bag (which is ridiculous since my bag is wort 50 dollars used) but is persistent on doing it through paypal. Now I am not losing money in this scenario but i feel like this is suspicios. Both offers i recieved talk about the customer being abroad and wanting to pay through paypal. Also, I am not sure how they even found my add since Kijjiji works through location based searches and they guy said he's in kansas.

Why can't I fine select my ISO on the Canon 650D (T4i) like it does in auto?

I recently bought the Canon 650D and when I take a picture in Auto it will give me an ISO of lets say for example 450 or 520 but when in manual and I go to change my ISO I only get the options of 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400 and 12800, why is this why can;t I fine tune it like the auto mode can?

Also when I bought this camera the woman in the shop said that the Canon was way better than the Nikon D5100 so I bought it over that but I honestly think the D5100 looks like it has better image quality. I told her I don't care about video and she said it takes better still so I went for it, but if this is wrong I will take it back and ask for the Nikon D5100 if they allow me?

I know that this varies for different cameras and also depends how much power your battery is capable of, but I just wanted to know. I will be on a sight-seeing tour for about half a day and I'm debating whether or not I should order a spare battery for my camera.My camera is a Nikon D5100 with a 1030mAh lithium-ion rechargeable battery. I haven't really used this camera for a long period of time so I'm not sure how long the battery lasts.

Photography with lips?

I love lip photography, but I'm out of inspiration. I use a Nikon D3100 for my pictures, with the standard lens.
I started with this picture:
http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/080/e/e/art_project_by_bananaplox-d5yr7iy.jpg

And now I'm already out of inspiration, I mean there are 1000 pictures of people decorating their lips or biting on fruit, and I don't want that.
A project that I have involves cars, and I thought I could do something with a miniature car that I have, but it's quite big, like the size of your middle finger in length, and 2.5 fingers thick.It looks weird if I put it in my mouth, because it's huge.
Does anyone have any ideas what I could do with my lips and photography? Or have some examples?
Thanks!

Good Waterproof Housing for Nikon D7000?

Hi there! So, for this up-coming summer I'd love to grab an underwater housing to take some underwater shots. I'm 16 and have been into photography for awhile, but find that a housing would be awesome to experiment with and have a grand time at the beach with.
However; I don't have the $1, 500 + that many cost. I was wondering if anyone could reccomend any GOOD, but less expensive underwater housings for the Nikon D7000.

Need help setting white balance with expodisc using flash?

I have tried following the instructions on the Expodisc website but it isn't working.It does work when I am trying to set it using natural light but as soon as I try to set a custom WB using my flash I continually get the "No Good" message regardless of where I point the camera to set it. I am photographing at a karate club this evening where there is very little natural light and the floor is covered in bright red and blue mats. I was eager to use the expodisc to avoid the color casts that I usually have to deal with when shooting at this venue but I just can't get it to work by following the instructions. Does anyone have any experience with this?

If you must know, the expodisc was given to me so I didn't pay a cent for it anyway, and even if I had, so what? I would just like an answer to the question I asked, not snarky comments. For the record, I am well aware of how to use a grey card and how to set my white balance using white paper. However seeing as I have the expodisc in my possession, I would like to give it a chance and see if I prefer it to my grey card, which Is why I asked the question.

Looking for camera with preview of shot before shot is taken?

Hi,

I'm looking for camera with preview of the shot (with settings applied) before shot is taken, does anyone have any recommendations? I'm looking for something similar to the Nikon 1's Live Image Control. I want this feature because I like to take nightscapes, and I wish I could adjust the shutter speed and see the effects on the picture immediately without having to take a shot first. Also, I hope that the camera would have good low light performance.

As for size, preferably a light camera. Something about the size of the G1X/G12 or Nikon 1 Series. However, please let me know if there are DSLRs with this feature.

Nikon 50MM f/1.8 Lens with adapter on Olympus Pen E-PL2?

So I have a Pen E-PL2 micro four thirds camera, and I've always wanted a good quality prime lens to use on it. However, the ones that Olympus makes for their cameras are a bit beyond my price range. ($200+)

So I thought that I should try getting a good quality prime lens such as the Nikon 50mm f/1.8D lens and using an adapter due to the manual control given directly on the lens. (I was looking at the Canon version, but due to the adapter, and my lack of a Canon camera, I would be unable to ever change the aperture) However, I've heard that depending on manual focus is a nuisance.

Rather than paying $200+, I could pay around $160 for the adapter and lens.

Would this be a good idea/has anyone tried this before?

Will the Sigma Lens 70-200 APO AF work on a Canon 5d Mark II?

I found a listing on craigslist for the 70-200 APO AF lens for an extremely reasonable cost of $125 where abouts the Canons version is atleast a thousand. The woman writes that it is for the Sigma body and wont work on Canons bodys but then at the end admits that she doesnt know anything really about it.Im thinking she just found it around her house and might not have any clue about it.Im in the process of trying to get new gear for next year, but I am also moving all in the same month and my budget is really tight so I thought this might be a great idea.

The description reads:
NEW IN BOX

I don't know much about this lens, but will write all the details I can find.
It is a Sigma Brand Lens, for a SIGMA CAMERA BODY.It will not mount onto a Canon or Nikon, etc., unless you find that some sort of adapter exists.
It has never been used, and is in its original box, and comes with paperwork, carrying case, and lens hood.It is several years old, but I cannot find a date anywhere. The box has some marks and scratches on it, but the lens and the case are in fine condition.

Confused about cameras?

I've had a little Point and Shoot 12mp for years… love it. I enjoy taking pics, particularly of my daughter.So… onwards and upwards, wanting to update, I thought I'd look around at getting a new camera.

I'm quite artistic and have a good 'eye' when it comes to photos, so want something where I can control the outcome more… you know, blurred backgrounds, slow shots of running water, macro shots of flowers and so on.

1.In the shop on day one, I instantly fell in love with the Samsung NX1000 at £380. 20mp, interchangeable lenses, has that 'PASM' dial, but I'm not sure how 'manual' it actually goes.No built in flash, but one in the box to fit on the 'shoe' and no view finder… but it feels wonderful and lovely, and at 20mp should give great pics. But it doesn't seem to be very popular on the internet… reviews are a bit wishy-washy and people seem to be poo-pooing it, saying its a bit slow between shots.Is it getting slated because its not a DSLR or a Canon or a Nikon? Has Samsung got a bad name in photography?

2. Then, looking in the same price range for something with a viewfinder and a better reputation, I came across the Panasonic G3 at £350. Feels good. Looks nice. Has a viewfinder AND a touchscreen. Fancy focusing options… 16mp. Good reviews and a Leica lens. Nice, but that price, I can actually get a proper DSLR. I'm not sure how 'manual' mirrorless cameras like the Panasonic G3 and Samsung NX1000 are… aren't DSLRs are surely better?

I'd perhaps like to actually 'study' photography through Open University or something, so wouldn't I be better with a real DSLR that will definitely offer all of the manual options I'd need to actually 'learn' properly… (Or would a mirrorless camera be sufficient for this??)

3. I prefer Canon over Nikon. I just do. I like the colours, they seem warmer. I have a latex allergy, and Canon are somewhat more helpful than Nikon about that, and in any case, either way, I could get a silicone skin to go over whichever camera. … (Nikon feel REALLY rubbery). Anyway, regardless, I do prefer Canon. Argos have currently got a good deal on the Canon 1100d… £330 with a bag and tripod and dvd telling you what to do… (which wouldn't break the bank and was actually at my original budget). 12mp is enough (isn't it?) to take some nice pics of my daughter and learn how to use a DSLR? (And £330 is much more comfortable for me… )

But when reading reviews about the 1100d, the consensus is that for the extra money (£200!), I'd be better off buying a better model. The 1100d seems to get grown out of quickly, and replaced quite soon with a better model once the photographer gets a familiar with it all… So…

4. I shopped around and decided on the Canon 600d - 18mp, flippy-dippy screen, quite a lot of bells and whistles… I wouldn't need to replace it for years and could get some AMAZING pictures out of it…
This would be a real (guilty) treat for myself… So I priced it all up, and settled on Currys, who have a deal on at the moment the 600d and kits lens, with an extra battery and a remote for the camera for £499. (£540 ish after bag and tripod etc).Jobs a good 'un… eeek

Or maybe not! I went to Currys today, to browse, because I'm not sure, and the Samsung NX1000 STILL feels really good in my hands, and it does have a whopping 20mp, and it would be good to have something small and transportable but it has no viewfinder and no real following.

But what about the viewfinder and the touchscreen of the Panasonic G3 which is cheaper… But since I'd be paying around £400 anyway, maybe the DSLR would be the way to go.

Oh please help me! I don't have loads of money. The whole camera buying thing is a bit of a stretch in the first place… but I do feel that sometimes you have to spoil yourself, and maybe this would be a good way of one day making some money back whilst doing something I really do love doing. I even fancy taking a course, or studying it all and really getting into it… getting a portfolio on the internet… I would like to one day possibly set up a studio, do school photo's, take pictures of babys and bumps… And I have to start somewhere…

Any suggestions? I'm getting myself tied up in knots. I think I would like to go for the Canon 1100d… its in my price range, it should let me learn how to take photos with a DSLR… but if I went semi-pro or so, it would need replacing of course, and it does worry me that it seems to be sneered by the big-guys out there…

Or could I learn how a DSLR works with the Panasonic G3 (mirrorless with touchscreen and viewfinder… )?

Or should I bite the bullet with the 600d?

Oh… please help me! :)
Added (1). I realise the Panasonic isn't a DSLR, its just that it has a viewfinder and a 'PASM' dial on… and could possibly be used like a DSLR?
