Inquiring minds want to know.

Im surprised you have to ask. Everyone knows Nikon is the only way to go! I'm sorry you purchased canon and wish you best of luck selling it on ebay. I hope others dont make the same mistake and read this thread before they purchase. :greenpbl:

I don't really own a Canon. My gear list is my wish list. Someday I will own a camera. I'll probably go Nikon when I do get a camera though.

Nikon D40 with an SB400 and Nikon 18-200mm is all you need, anything else is throwing money away.

Speaking of money, I got mine here, you can also get one here, here or here.

I managed to get through my first wedding with a Canon 450D... whatever works, right?

I enjoyed the Rockwell post above :thumbup:

 

[Sherman Banks]

Just want to send my thanks for today's argumentative thread! :thumbup:

If I were a wedding photographer, I'd take one of these. 39 megapixels FTW!

With the money saved by buying the D40x over the 1DmkIII you'd be able to shoot the wedding practically for free...!


:lmao:

Hey....I demand the options for Kodak Easyshare and Sony Mavica

 

[Josh66]

Hey....I demand the options for Kodak Easyshare and Sony Mavica

Do they still make 3.5" floppies? ...Or a drive to put them in?

Wow, I did not expect some one recognize that camera so quickly....

But if you must know I still have a 3.5 drive on my PC :lmao:

Without pics it didn't happen.

I'd take a D40x over a 1ds Mark III. The D40x is so cute, how could you possibly resist. Plus it doesn't clog up the camera with junk like extra focusing points, big sensors and a big name. It's like wanting a slim, in-shape girl (D40x) versus a fat girl (1Ds Mark III). The D40 is so slender and sleek.....it's impossible not to be in love.
