There was no one available to drive the camera car for moving shots so I had to be the driver and the camera man..

 

looks nice, Drop it and get a better camera

 

Drop is perfect for a daily driver. Didnt want to scrap every road in Atlanta Although was very tempted to drop it on JICs like my SCed maxima.




I am in the market for a camera. Thinking about the Rebel XTi. Any suggestions?

 

Stock, the G sedan is very unappealing! I think with minimal mods their the best looking sedan out there.

 

Love the Nismo kit. Damn, everytime I see that kit, I want that old style G Sedan. Ride height looks great IMO.

Actually, the camera is rarely at fault for crappy pics, even if it's a point and shoot.

A DSLR will just allow you to be more creative. If you like to fiddle around with stuff, and learn as you go, go with a DSLR, otherwise, stick to a point and shoot as the image quality on most are excellent. Remember, the number of megapixels is not a good determining factor in image quality- this is just max resolution.

DSLRs I recommend, as a beginner is either the Rebel XT or XTi. The XT is cheaper, but the XTi has a built in sensor cleaner. Buy the kit lens if you can. It's actually a decent lens. It'll teach you how to use a lens, and what qualities you want in a lens. Canon also has the biggest OEM lens collection. Both cameras use a smaller sensor, but full framed cameras are WAY more expensive. These "cropped" sensor cameras have longer reach for whatever lens is on the camera. 1.6X the focal length.

Nikon has recently come out with the D40, which is $599 with kit lens. Nikon kit lens are way better than the Canons. Auto Focus is so much better when I tried it out. The D50 is a step higher, and will allow you to use more of Nikons lenses (the D40 is limited in selection). These are 6 megapixel compared to 8 for the XT, and 10 for the XTi, and are 1.5X the focal length (sensor crop).

But what has me thinking is the Sony alpha (something). What's different here is that it has built in Image Stabilization, allowing you to handhold your camera in low light conditions, and will pretty much prevent all but the shakiest hands to produce sharp, sharp pictures. For Nikon and Canon lenses with Image Stabilization, prices increase substantially. The cheapest Canon IS lens is $410. With the Sony camera, all your lenses are pretty much IS.

I think you can't go wrong with any of the DSLR's out there really. Pentax released one that is weather resistant, and has built in Image Stabilization with built in sensor cleaning to boot.

 

Those wheels look good on the G.

 

Thanks! This was very helpful.

 

car is looking good bro. You still have the max as a daily driver?
