Camera questions

[Snipersnest]

I'm still using my Nikon FTN and Nikkormat with a bunch of lenses I got when I was in Japan in the 60's. Been wondering if the lenses are interchangeable with the new digital Nikons???

I will throw in my opinon....I had a canon T3 that was a great camera. My dad was looking for a new camera and bought it from me and at that time the Cannon T4I had just come out and I got that. I am a huge fan on the Cannon line, I really liked my T3, my T4I is fantastic. You will not be dissapointed with a T3. You can get one for 3-350 if you look. I think I saw Kmart at $299 in the paper last week.

good luck....

You can't go wrong with any of the Canon Rebels. I have an old film model that I loved, but when I went digital, I wanted something that I could put in a shirt pocket. My sister has a digital Rebel (not sure which model).

Of course, buying a good camera is like buying a gun that has oodles of mods available. There is a never ending parade of MUST HAVE accessories...

Man, you just missed a killer Canon T5i sale at SamsClub. They had a whole kit: body, 2 lenses, memory card and bag for $459.

My daughter has a Canon T3i and it's a great camera.

Good deal, I expect more gun porn after Christmas. Congrats.

I think a newer phone has a sufficient camera.

Two things that pros do is 1) steady the camera, and 2) light the subject.

Do that and your photos will improve!

The other item is compression. You can have a great camera with huge file sizes but once they get compressed, they lose sharpness.

Well now, I can't post pics but just as soon as my Detective Specials arrive, I'll email you a pic to post for me. Heck, maybe Howard will allow me to drive up with a few 'models' for him to photograph one day
