That's exactly why I'm after them. I know I won't get SERIOUSLY into this, but I'd like to take some cool pictures every now and then. Even though they're outdated, I'm sure that with some practice, I can take amazing photos with a used camera I picked up for super cheap. I'm not actively shopping either, just kicking the idea around. How cheap do you think I could find a D60 or D90 with a lens (or two)?

There you go, you like the "D" before, or after?
I'll tell you with fair certainty, it's not the "MENU" that is so different, it's where the buttons are in relation to on the fly changes etc...I don't think that my point and shoot Canon really gave me any great advantage on being able to work the DSLR.

Best bet is Best buy, play with both and see which feels more at home in your hand.
And which layout is most intuitive for you...biggest thing you'll be playing with is ISO/F Stop changes constantly.
I like the D during. Okay the button location thing makes sense. I love going into best buy and playing with all their shit, then going and buying it elsewhere.

No doubt, man...no doubt. I actually thought that too, now you can tell them you know a 17 year old that's used traditional photography too (Austin, Undying Dead Dreams).

I'm certainly not a mechanic, by any means. I just had my v6 accord for 6 years and now my TL-s for three months, so I only really know this platform and the s2000.

Photog by trade, though.

I shoot mostly nature/landscape stuff, well, it's what I enjoy the most.


Dude, these pictures are really great. I love the palm beach one and the bonsai garden one. Sidenote: I had a bonsai once and it died, pretty quickly.

Check out KEH for great used gear and good pricing

https://www.keh.com/search/list?n=128&mfg[]=Nikon

Those are the nikons, and you can do a similar search for Canons. Pretty much everything you'd want.

Vlad, definitely listen to Austin and Jeremy...they have a ton of experience with D-----SLR


I just recently started taking pictures....the only and ONLY suggestion, I will give you is....play with your D------SLR.....

Tyler (penguie) gave me a great tip which is "if you get comfy in Auto modes, you will never use the Program or the manual mode"....thats why since the first day I got the camera, I have been shooting in Manual mode....


There were 3 videos that really helped me with my camera:

1> Nikon D3200 setup


its a longg video so take your time with it....but this is only a one time watch...


2> the triangle...aperture/iso/shutter speed



I keep going back to this video from time to time to better understand the concepts...



about what camera you want to go with...+1 on personal preference....

I got great reviews from Tyler (penguie) on the D3100 which he has...I found a spanking good deal on a D3200 package so went with it....

Good to see so many Nikon users...

On the sidelines, Nikons are becoming rarer and rarer everyday.

I play with my D all the time, shouldn't be too hard to add the SLR. Actually, on the auto modes comment. That' exactly how I was using point and shoots forever. During some of my travels, I started messing with the manual modes and was getting to the point of understanding how all those settings affect the picture. I will definitely keep that in mind.

I won't. The difference is that he's a dick and I'm actually really awesome and know everything about everything that you guys don't even know anything about.

a self entitled bastard.
he thinks because he shoots with a high end cam, that he is a pro.

Doesnt take criticism that well and lies.
so, once he gets a little critique on his photos, he'll edit them and upload the new edited photo to the same web location.

so, its as if his photos are always spot on.
but, we gave him those critiques

J, here's another example of a slow shutter ghost. Shutter speed was faster than Vlad's though, just enough to completely blur but still able to tell what it is.

Undying, it looks like you take rolling pics the same way I do... hanging out a window.

So much easier than rig shots (plus editing photos REALLY sucks).

Hey Austin, forgot to share this with you...
how's this for my FIRST set of rolling shots, while driving the S2000 and trying to figure out what to set my camera at to capture it.

LOL...not the safest way to do it, but came out okay, save for the damn dirty specs on the lens

That dirt on your photo is more than likely a combo of sensor and lens dust. Stopping down and shooting long exposures highlights the awesomeness of how easy digital sensors get dirty.

I hate it.
