http://www.betterphoto.com/reviews/reviewItemDetail.asp?reviewItemID=2111 That’s the camera. More specifically, will it fit a Canon T1i?

As long as the lens is EF-mount, it will fit any EOS body digital or not.

This include all the after-market brands as well.

The only thing that you will need to watch out is whether the lens is EF or EF-S design. Which in your case, it really doesn’t matter.

I’m looking to get the CANON EOS 1000D Digital SLR Camera with Canon 18-55 mm EF-S Zoom Lens – 10.1 mp, I only have £400 to spend and this looks like the best camera. Could you review if you have this camera.
Thanks

Here’s a review that hasn’t been given. I own a 1000D and find it a versatile, easy to use, very well built camera that yields superb photos.

I use three lenses with mine, the kit at 18-55, a Tamron 18-200 and a Canon 75-300.

Further review is here. Read my notes please because not all of these were taken with my Canon.
Be aware I’m having excellent luck with night / time exposures, day time colors are brilliant and the camera is very easy and quick to operate – but, you’ve got to read the book and keep it handy for little questions that always seem to come up.

The first 3 shots I took with my Fuji 9000. Good Luck

I am really into photography and videography, so I want a camera that shoots great pictures and HD video. What would be the camera for me, that doesn’t break the bank?

Actually you wont find video quality so good with nikon DSLR cameras. you can have a look at Canon EOS Rebel T2i 18 MP CMOS APS-C Digital SLR Camera
# SO 100-6400 (expandable to 12800) for shooting from bright to dim light; enhanced 63-zone, Dual-layer metering system
# Improved EOS Movie mode with manual exposure control and expanded recording 1920 x 1080 (Full HD)

I’m looking into buying a digital slr but also want to get a variety of lenses. The Canon EOS Rebel XS or T1i are the two I am debating on. Do I need to use Canon lenses on their cameras, or could I find cheaper brands that also work on a Canon?

Also, any recommendations on cameras would be appreciated! I’m looking to stay under $1000 total for a kit.

Thanks

Either of those two models will work fine. If you don’t need video and want to get the most bang for your buck, go with the Rebel XS. I am not a big fan of the Rebel T1i as I think it and the 50D, which uses a similar imaging sensor, were rushed to market when Canon started loosing market share to Nikon. Canon got caught sleeping and seemingly went out of control trying to catch up to Nikon. They were onto something with the Rebel XSi but, then chose to market more and more megapixels instead. They seem to be back on track with the 7D and Rebel T2i but, respecting your budget, we’ll skip those models for now. To be honest, I think the Rebel XS is a better buy not just because it is cheaper than the T1i…I also think it offers better image quality than the T1i.

As for lenses, I strongly recommend sticking with Canon lenses. If you have to look outside the box, consider Tokina, Sigma or Tamron, in that order. For the moment, I’d say the EF-s 18-55mm IS kit lenses available with both Canon cameras you are considering is a good starting point. You might add the EF-s 55-250mm IS telephoto zoom to round out your kit for more distant subjects. You could also add the EF 50mm f/1.8 II prime for a "cheap" lens that actually offers very good results as a portrait lens as well as a lens for shooting in low-light. Beyond these basic lenses, I’d say take some time to master the camera and these basic focal lengths. In time, you’ll develop a sense of what you like to photograph and you’ll be in a better position to make your own decisions on more expensive lenses as your skills and knowledge improve.

The kit I described above (Rebel XS /w 18-55mm kit lens, 50mm f/1.8 prime, and 55-250mm telephoto zoom) should cover 98% of what most people will ever want to shoot. More importantly, it should easily fit within your $1000 budget with reputable online retailers like Adorama (http://www.adorama.com) or B&H Photo (http://www.bhphoto.com). Brick and mortor stores like Best Buy should be prices similarly. You should even have enough cash left over to buy a couple 2GB or 4GB SD cards, a card reader and a small bag which will have you out the door with pretty much everything you need to get started.

I am wondering if I can put my older lenses (auto focus) on a new digital slr…

Older autofocus Nikon F series lenses should work perfectly on D50, D70, D70s, D80, D90, D100, D200, D300, as well as the professional D1, D2, & D3 series.

They will mount and meter, but not autofocus on the D40, D40x, D60, D3000, & D5000.

I bought a new extreme 3 CF memory card 8 GB from amazon.com, for my Nikon D100 – on one of the reviews someone said they were able to get 1000 raw files on it – that’s what sold me on it.

I got it in the mail, put it in my camera and put my settings on raw format – says 400 something frames available – is that the normal quantity for raw files on 8 GB? I was surprised, was expecting 1000.

Thanks!

Raw files take up 2-6x more space than the typical jpeg. So on an 8gb card if you got 600 pictures in jpg expect to get a fraction of that. The biggest advantage to having that card as it is small now is that the read and write speed is faster than standard cards. That means the info gets on and off the card much quicker.

No, sorry. I’m assuming that you have a Canon film SLR and want to move up to digital.. why not go for a Canon DSLR instead then?

For instance this camera costs $27,995.00. What is so good about it?

So which is the best camera to buy? I obviously do not know anything about cameras but I want a camera that can take professional shots and professional close up shots. I remember when I got my braces that my dentist took some really close up shots of my teeth that turned out awesome. Can all these cameras do the same? I currently have an Olympus 1030 SW and I can’t take a close up shot without it getting blurred or the flash makes it too bright…but if I turn the flash off it blurrs the shot. My point being I don’t get the sharpness that I would like. I want a camera that takes really sharp pictures whether they be fast action, close-ups, portrait, bright light, etc….but I don’t get the quality of picture with the Olympus 1030 SW that I would like to have. Any suggestions?

Hey,

Don’t buy expensive cameras when you don’t know anything cheap ones. The XSI is great.

Here’s a post called ‘Buying A DSLR, what’s important, megapixels, features, brand, price, quality and which one to get. There are also Amazon links, here is the post – http://the-digital-photographer.blogspot.com/2009/03/which-dslr-to-buy.html

Good luck.

since you didn’t post a price range, I can only assume you don’t have one.

If you could afford it, definitely go for a Nikon D90
