education is important...

 

40D all the way, owned/used the 300d,xt, 20d, 30d and the 40 is so bad ***

From this weekend, 1st time on it.

 

Good stuff. Images are sharp, colors are vibrant (cept the shot of Sam... out of focus )

 

Screw Sam. That sweed should go for a european car. What the hell is mopar anyways? (lol, nomoken!)

 

Just bought my 2nd 40D about an hour ago from Best Buy... You can now use the coupons you get as a best buy reward zone member and use your Best Buy card to get 12% off.

Came out to be $1320. Good thing I sent back my first 40D. Bye Bye XTi. Had thoughts of keeping it as a backup body, but it has to go.

Here's a pic I took with my 1st 40D back in September, but the Aperture was set to F/29... hence the softness. Brought back to life with Camera RAW.

 

Getting my 40D is less then a week. Just got the cash, need to wait for the body. Im getting it for 1026+tax+shipping, but then i need to pay for my tamron 17-50. what lense were you using at the D1 event? Photo's look fantastic.

 

dont buy anything but canon L glass.

lenses used at D1:

400 F4 DO IS
70-200 2.8L IS
24-105 F4L IS
16-35 F4L IS

$10,000+ in lenses lol

 

With the 1.6 crop factor there are lenses where the "L" advantage becomes negligible in every aspect but build quality. I think the "only buy L glass" mentality is a huge misconception in both consumer and professional photography.

 

well each to their own, still the best glass on the block.

 

If you can I'd save up a little more and get the canon 10-22, I respect sigma and other companies, but I've never regretted getting rid of them and getting the canon gear.

 

you mean 16 35 2.8L, right? Canon doesn't make any wide angle L zoom with IS.

 

Well, sold my Nikon D40 and decided to switch to the dark side

On the way from the intranets:

Canon 40D w/ 28-135mm Lens
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens
72mm & 52mm UV Filters
Sandisk Extreme III 4gb Card
Canon Camera Bag
Manfrotto 804RC2 Head w/ 190XDB Legs

Looking forward to joining the 40D family

 

Well, after months of agonizing, I finally sold my 30D on eBay. My 40D came on Tuesday. Hope it was worth the upgrade. On first blush, it sure appears like it is

Well to this day i love my 40D and now getting into studio photography. About a week ago i got my first canon L lens, its a 70-200/f4L IS. Plus i got a few more things since my last post to here. Like a "Digital Target" white balance board, 2 320ws Photogenic studio light kit, gray muslin background. Built my own color gel folder for my 580exII. Plus got remote flash triggers.

Here is a web link for all the canon users, that you may want to bookmark.
http://photography-on-the.net/forum/
It is full of knowledge on equipment for canon and postings of other peoples photo skills and work. And yes there is a Glamour/Nude section in there, but you have to be registered on the forum to view that section.
