Thanks wish the wind was blowing but not the case. caught it at a stop sign and didnt have much time to compose much

Headed to a shoot and thought this says it all. Barely had time to get the window down in the car

good choice but you might want to take a look at the canon s95 very good in low light

I've done the same thing at a wedding dropped the card and in a hurry tried to put it in. I fixed it myself by removing the batteries and using a tooth pick and a small pair of scissors to straighten them out. then slowly inserted the cf card several times and no problems since. It did take me several hours but saved me a few hundred dollars. I dont know how bad yours are but I had 3 pins bent down pretty bad. Hope this helps

Wedding photography ts pretty specialized as in equipment a full frame camera as in canon 5dII a good back up camera or two ( You dont want one to go down and not have a backup) and fast glass you will be shooting in some low light situations, and some form of lighting off and on camera. There are several good wedding guide books out there read em all. If you can try to work with a professional at a couple of weddings as a second or third shooter to see if it is something that you really want to do (not as easy as it looks). Keep in mind this is the day most brides have been dreaming about for quit some time and there is a lot of stress on both the families and on the photogs.And as said above dont be cheap figure one day of scouting the location 12- 14 hour shooting day, assistants and or second shooter, proofing sheets and pp work for 10 -20 hours(Im a little slow )gas running around to the different locals all add up. Hope this sheds a little light and good luck in your venture.

Canon guy here but my favorite zooms 24-70L and 70-200L Need a little more reach throw on a 2x converter and your covered

Hi Kathy there are several sites comparing the different lenses on the web dpreview is one along with cnet. You can also look to some of the online retailers (amazon b&h photo,adorama) and get some pretty good reviews by customers that have purchased the lens and why it works for them. Im not that familiar with the Nikon brands but what I remember is that your camera is a crop body and a lot of people have had good luck with the sigma 10 - 20mm lens. Fairly inexpensive and good quality (I myself have one and use it often) good luck and hope you find what your looking for.

Best settings ? um green box maybe ? :shock: :D

Both cameras are good but as henrycrafter said being proficient is more important. My opinion is to pick up the cheaper cam and use the extra cash for the best glass you can buy. Cameras depreciate very quickly but good glass holds its value. Happy Shooting

yep what they said :P

Tasha, I agree with sinatraman 100%, the two books he mentioned are great must haves in the learning aspects of photography another would be Kelbys Digital photography series. The main thing is read your manual for your particular camera and get out and shoot. With the above referenced material and just plain experience you will see the difference very soon. Good luck and shoot alot

Although I agree with your recomendation of adorama and b&h On the forums I mentioned the more active members really value their reputation and buy and sell there equiptment in order to upgrade. Most do use paypal so you can use plastic and they provide good photos and descriptions. I have bought several items from all the sources and never had a problem. But do your research and check out the seller

You can always check some of the other forums around the net. They usually have a sell forum for thier members good quality cameras at affordable prices example: potn or fred miranda canon 40d 450 bucks
