Haha I was thinking the same thing the other day and then I was like "well at least I don't have to BUY a wife..."
Yeah I'm glad I got the T3i. It's honestly amazing.

Originally posted by shreddog_123 Alright I got the canon rebel t3i. I have a fish eye lens and a 55-250m lens and a macro lens. Photography is basically all I do. Thanks guys! finally got the one I wanted.

Originally posted by shreddog_123 Honestly I got this free app for my Lenovo touch screen computer and it works great. It's called Fhotoroom and yes it has an F at the beginning lol. There was a lot of color to start out with though so it's all the better. I'll post some more later.

don't get the sony alpha series... i had to buy one for work, and while it works pretty well, it's extremely over priced. Also, it sucks at taking pictures of things about a foot away. if i had a choice in the camera, i'd never buy the sony camera again...

I do a lot of other photography than just snowboarding. That's why I went with a DSLR. I also honestly like canon way more than Nikon or anything else. Haha I was surprised that I found this thread as well actually. Just thought I'd let everyone that helped out that I had finally got one. I did a lot of research and demoed a lot of different cameras. I put some money away here and there for the camera and don't regret getting it one bit. You are right though maco, I have used my friends go pro a lot and it is a lot better for just shooting videos and some pictures while boarding. I spent 5 bucks on a tripod from value village and it works fine. I'll put some pictures up that I have taken of snowboarding with the DSLR. I don't think you'll be disappointing maco I got the EF 100mm f/2.8 macro USM lens by the way. I didn't pay full price for any of the lenses I have. Got them all for under about $170 each. 

since this is a snowboarding/outdoor forum, im going to suggest action cameras. gopro3 and contour+2 are both much cheaper than 800 but will get you some awesome awesome videos

canon ftw

So shred dog whats the verdict? What kind of camera are you going to buy a slr or a point and shoot?

yeah. i'm pretty sure i'll try and save up for either the d40 or the canon rebel xs

oh yeah i have a little nikon camera but i wanted to step it up ya know.

yeah....the new one they're developing will supposedly be better than Cinematic Film...a Better HD than IMAX is the goal i've read...

You should get one of these...http://www.red.com/store Typical high-end HD camcorders have 2.1M pixel sensors and record with 3:1:1 color sub-sampled video at up to 30fps. RED offers the Mysterium ™ Super 35mm cine sized (24.4×13.7mm) sensor, which provides 4K (up to 30 fps), 3K (up to 60 fps) and 2K (up to 120 fps) capture, and all this with wide dynamic range and color space in 12 bit native RAW. At 4K, that’s more than 5 times the amount of information available every second and a vastly superior recording quality. In addition, you get the same breathtaking Depth of Field and selective focus as found in film cameras using equivalent 35mm P/L mount lenses. Mysterium ™ boasts greater than 66db Dynamic Range thanks to its large 29 sq. micron pixels. And 12,065,000 pixels deliver resolution that can only be called Ultra High Definition.

buy this, its beautiful and such a good deal, if i had the money i would have bought it.

deal may not last that long. jump!

yeah i really like the rebel but i haven't really tried out any other ones. where would i find one and an ok lens to go with?

I know quite a bit about cameras...  i was in your boat not to long ago and decided got get a canon 40D for around $600.

hmmm. so is a 10.1 mp camera good? i really don't know that much about cameras. is a point and shoot camera digital?

Nikon D5000 for $850 coming late April

I have a Panasonic Lumix DCM-TZ1 its a few years old now, but now you get a TZ5 I think. Well worth checking out coz mine is the really good, everything I could have asked for just a bit big in size, even my mates who use it comment on what a high tech camera it is.

Originally posted by shreddog_123 i really want a camera that can do it all. night photos, day photos, snow photos, beach photos, everything. it would be nice if it could take good vids too. and yes this is going to be my first real camera

What I can i help you fix this thread? pm meed to do and everyone else did too is what are you going to be using things for? Are you just going to take the photo or are you going to photoshop them after. Are you using it for snow or just family picture are you carrying it around?
