    You guys got me drooling for some new gear, went on line and looked at the new Nikon body's, man they are pricey. I am thinking of going full frame and now Nikon offers two body's, expensive and really expensive :eek:

    Those are some great shots! I do some amateur photography, but I am learning (albeit - slowly).

    I am shooting with a Canon EOS XSi 12MP with a 18-55mm IS Lens (stock with the camera). My favorite lenses include the 50mm f/1.4L and the 70-200 f/2.8L USM IS. I really want to try out the 50mm f/1.2L USM. Most of what I have done is portrait and weddings (not by choice on the later).

    The whole deal usually consists of the body and normally a 35-55mm lens and some other little extras like Lens cloth and such, sometimes it even includes a bag. If you get just the body, thats what you get, just the body, no lens no bag no extras, usually people that already have lenses and such just go for the body ;)

    I have picked up photography as a hobby lately and it's rare I don't have my camera with me. I have a Canon PowerShot 8.0 MP digital camera for now but hope to upgrade to a digital SLR in the near future.


    This is one of my best shots I've gotten to date:

    Well I guess I am a Photographer I have been in a few small shows, never published though. I have a Nikon D80 and love it, I also have a 18x135 and 70x300 nikkor lens. I'll see if I can find some pics on my mac most are on my external HD.

    Here is a question how many Mac guy do we have, I am one? And how many of you are using RAW formats, I feel they are a real lifesaver.

    I always use RAW. You lose too much color and quality with JPEG

    Yours looks just fine on my computer. You need to understand the internet and pics, on the internet the best quality you can have is a resolution of 72, so really there no need for a high res photo for the web. My images are screen shots of high res photos so they are actually low quality so that they load quickly.
    But your pic look good to me.
