New Camera

Also the high end Nikons and Canons say they can go up to 300,000 and 200,000.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the shutter running out of steam doesn't spell the end for the camera anyway, does it? I'm sure they can be quite easily replaced.

It looks to me that the shutter on a 450 would cost you $180 and I'm not sure on the 40.

Thankyou all very much for great info. Does the camera come with UV or polaroid if I buy a twin lens kit? Or would I need to buy a ploaroid filter to fit on each lens? Thanks.

This is the one I am curious about, polaroid to fit on the lens.

WTF is a polaroid on the lens?

 

[asfixiate]

polarize I think.

Unless it adds the Polaroid filter to the photo...like holga add ons...lol.

Well, that's why nobody bothered to answer before....

Generally you need to buy your own polaroids for your lenses. Unless, of course, they specifically state a polaroid is included with it.

 

[Dryfly]

Sorry fellas, so to say it correctly, you add a Polarizing filter to the lens.

 

[reg]

It screws-in.

 

[Dryfly]

may I ask, can all lens take a polarizing filter?

 

[Dryfly]

It screws-in.

Thats the one. A friend mentioned a UV filter, what is the difference? Thats what I was getting to.

 

[reg]

A UV filter, essentially, does nothing on a digital camera. They're used for "protecting" the front glass on the lens.

A polarizing filter cuts down on reflections, allows you to shoot "into" (i.e. see underwater clearly in a photo) water, gives bluer skies, etc.

Cheers Reg, thats what I wanted to know.

 

[asfixiate]

wait so there is a polaroid filter as well as polarizing filter?

not trying to be a smart a$$

 

[reg]

To put it as nicely and succinctly as possible,

No.
