Camera Questions

I'm still using a 3 year old camera...my trusty canon 5D
When using DSLR, imho the lens plays a big role in getting the kind of shots you want.





I hope it's ok to post non reptile picture here

Just thought you should know I have a picture of your chameleon as the background on my phone

I actually just bought a new camera last night.

http://www.panasonic.net/avc/lumix/c...ft2/index.html <--- I got the first version of this camera. I am very excited for it to arrive tomorrow morning It is supposed to take great video (and has an led light so you can actually see when there is crappy lighting) and best of all it is steffe-proof! Waterproof, dustproof, sandproof, shockproof, fallproof. You name it. Its a tank camera that takes excellent pictures. Hooray!

Also a few have mentioned that the lens is very important. I totally agree, without a good/great lens your pictures will not be the best it can be.

I'm glad you like my picture

wow.

those are some great shots....Thats an expensive camera though...About 2000 dollars out of my price range actually haha. But regardless beautiful pictures.

Thank you for the compliment
Actually you don't really need an expensive camera body to take a good picture.
These were taken with canon 350D or canon rebel xt ( it was the second generation rebel series I think) and canon 100mm macro lens 4 years ago.





Under good lighting, a consumer level body can take the same quality picture as a more expensive body.

Gear wise, the Lens plays bigger part in how your picture look. The pictures above was taken with a 100mm macro lens.
When you "plunge" deeper into this hobby, you'll find out that the biggest investment will be in the lenses

The good thing is the lens you buy today, will still be usable when you upgrade the camera body for years to come.

One day I will have a nice digital SLR camera, but for now, the point and shoot will have to do as my wallet cannot take much more of this! Lol

Those are some fantastic pictures.

I agree 100%. The more and more I learn, light and lenses are the #1 and #2 things needed for great pictures. #3 being a great subject

You can get a nikon d40 or a low end canon for around $400. The rest of the budget should go into lenses!!! I am a sucker for buying refurbs off adoroma.com and havent had a problem with any of them!
