Any DSLR users out there?
narked:
Recently upgraded my Canon 300D to the newer 400D, and have spent more and more time using it. So was just wondering if there are any more keen DSLR users out there.
Started a blog to try to advance my photography, with the aim of taking at least 1 photo a day that I can say I'm happy with. Only missed 1 day out so far, and that was down to stupidly forgetting to put the memory card into my camera! For anyone who is interested, you can view the blog here.
So, what kit do you use and what sort of photography do you enjoy the most?
Personally I'm using the Canon 400D, along with the 18-55mm kit lens, Canon 50mm f1.8 Mk2, and a cheapo Kodak 55-210mm lens. Also using a cheap Jessops tripod, which isn't too bad if you use the self-timer and mirror lockup functions on the camera. Next planned purchases are a better quality telephoto, possibly upto a 300mm, and a better tripod.

I've had a 10D since 2003 and love it. Preferred styles are candid portraits & travel stuff; people are really my thing.
Hence I use a 24-70L and a 70-200L for 99% of what I shoot. I also use a couple of Canon flashes for formal portrait stuff. I definitely find the lenses make much more of a difference to the results than the camera body!
I keep meaning to stick some samples on the web but never quite get around to it...

I also use the EOS 400D and have had it for about 10 months now.
It has a 18-55mm and a 70-300mm lens which do most of the stuff I want.
My photos vary but most of the good stuff can be seen on my website: http://www.hebrides-photos.com
Most of the photos on the site were taken with 35mm SLRs but there are quite a few on there taken with the 400D and a Fuji S5000. :wink:

I have a Sony A100 with a 18-75mm lens ans a 70-300mm, also have a big flash unit, wireless remote and 4g memory card, love it to bits.
