Just like what senna said, D3100 is an excellent camera to start out with. If you have some extra cash, go for the D5100.

D3100 if you want something entry-level.

Hey guys, ehh heres my situation:

I've had the Panasonic Lumix TZ-5 for quite some time now, and after playing around with some DSLR's at BestBuy ive decided to get one.

Any suggestions?

Ive been looking at the Sony Nex-5 but its a bit pricey...

I've got an offer for my 7D for $1300 and I've currently got a 35L, Tokina 11-16mm, and Canon 17-55 2.8 IS. Should I sell the 7D and the Canon 17-55 to fund a 5D MK II and use the Tokina money to put towards a wide angle? I'll mostly be shooting video and some stills. I know the AF is lacking in the 5D is it that much a hinderance?

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a camera. I have this camera (FUJIFILM Finepix-S602 zoom) lying around in my house, but it's very old. Should I upgrade or should I just use the old camera?

Which is a good dslr to start with D90 or D5100?

Either will do. Probably D5100 or D3100 a little easier to use.

Used D40/D40x/D60 will do too.

Didn't want to make a new thread for this so,


I ordered some off camera flashes/triggers and a grip for my camera, but now I need good rechargeable AA batteries. Does anyone know where to buy "Sanyo Eneloop" batteries in the GVRD? I want two starter packs (8x AA, 4x AAA, + charger and carry kit). Anyone know of a shop that sells them?

I'd wait for them on sale at NCIX or Shoppers Drug Mart. They're usually on sale for about $8-$10 for a 4 pack of AA or AAA's. If you want the kit, try Costco.

wow thanks didn't even occur to me to check ncix lol, they've got it for $40! Thanks!

I've seen a few kits on Dell.ca with them on sale - with free shipping.

This pack seems like a decent deal to me - can't remember if NCIX has better deals.

much better than ncix, thanks .. ncix is also out of stock

the time to buy eneloops is from dell when they have the package (with charger) on sale like above, and to stock up on the batteries at shoppers drug mart when they go on sale for $7.99 (used to be $6.99) for a 4 pack of AA or AAA. NCIX rarely has them on sale, they have them weekly on for $12.99, and sometimes $9.99. Read redflagdeals for the deals.

I'm looking to get a dslr, what you guys think of the canon t2i?

thanks

It's a fine camera. Pretty much all Canon dSLR are great. (Except the Rebel XS in my opinion).

They're all capable of taking great vids. T2i does video well too.

thanks for the reply

Anywhere right now that has deals? Any shops that you guys would recommend?

I've read also that the PC rechargables are re-branded eneloops. There's a website floating around with some pictures, but this was a few years ago, so I'm not sure if it's still the case.

Otherwise this is the best plan of action (as I've done the same)

Thanks so much, been looking for Eneloops!

The white top Duracells are also rebranded Eneloops. The black top ones aren't. Just look for the white top on the Duracells and make sure they're made in Japan.

Hopefully this is the last off-topic post, but Dell is currently having their 72-hour sale, and they have a killer Eneloop kit on sale.

Not actually wanting to buy.. just caught my eye :D

^^^ What a joke. A $7000 "46MP" APS-C sensor camera with (mostly) second rate lenses and no pro support? No thanks. How many of Sigma's lenses can match the resolution of the sensor? "At $10,000 the launch of the SD1 is simply a business school study in corporate failure." - Luminous Landscape

I'm looking for a P&S for food photography and some night time shooting! Preferably something in the $200-$300 range :D

P&S and night photography do not really go hand in hand. It will be difficult to make some good shots.

Canon S95 is pretty much your only option. Go full manual and use a tripod. P&S aren't good in low light unless you use a long exposure, low ISO, teamed with a pod.
