recomend a camera

[charliethetuna88]

so get the 18 55mm and the 75-300 rather than the 55-250

 

[charliethetuna88]

so th 50 comes with no lense at all for that price it looks like right im not sure

The lens is 10x more important than the camera, when it comes to dslrs it's all about the lens, you can take a mid ranged ok dslr and take jaw dropping pics with the right lens.

 

[charliethetuna88]

yeah so should i go with the 50-250 or 55-300

So guys I did it I nought the cannon 60D last night I was going to get the cannon ts3i but changed my mind last minute and went for what everyone was recommending the 60d .now I need to learn how to use it .and pointers for.me

I am soo jealous of you now!!! I lovemy 50d but I cantshoot video!!

You need to learn how to shoot manual, setting your shuter speed ad aperture and iso. A big part coms down to white balance though. The blue lights always make the acmera shoot wrong. Just like reefing. It is goingto require a little reading

Bro I don't even know what ISO and all the other stuff is lol I guess I have to read the manual right ? Lol .I hope the lense that came with is good enough for now it came with a 18x 135 mm maybe

Well it depends. The LENS makes the pics. The kit lenses are OK, but you will not get hte pics like you see on Straightjiggy10's threads. Those are taken with a 100mm macro lens.

For now that lens should be fine, the macro is for those close up of smaller corals. You should be able to get great shots with that lens. I was going to get the lens but the wife convinced me not to and i am not going to say how. But when i need on i will just rent on for the weekend... Its about 40 bucks to rent it so its not so bad.

But YES you need to read the manual in order to know the camera lingo. Afterwards you will know where everything is and eventually know what setting work best. Just make sure you make use of the camera cause the more you use it the better you get and the easier it gets to manually set at your desire.

Good luck, your gonna love the camera! Atleast once you get the hang of it... lol

Now get lightroom, its easy to use and you can edit those pics that didnt come out so well. If not kodakgallery.com has a free app that lets you load all your pics, edit and order. They have alot of dif photo paper you can use too.

Enjoy and post your pics!

 

[charliethetuna88]

So lightroom is a cd for the computer to edit ur photos .my girlfriend uploaded them on snapfish and ordered a book and prints

 

[dherrera83]

Snapfish is good but i find kodak to be better. I mean i havent check up on snapfish for a while but at the time i found that kodak has better quality paper and you can even pick the paper.

Yeah lightroom is a computer program you install on your Mac/PC. Its a great program...
