I use to drag around my d90. The ep3 is the perfect size and the image quality is just as good or even better than my old d90.

T3i might be a tad more expensive but I think the tiltable screen might be worth the extra dollars.

EP3 is still using the original sensor that introduced m4/3 but slightly tweaked.

It will work with any DSLR with a mic input. I bought a Sennheiser MKE400, which has better sound quality than the Nikon one, and is slightly larger, but still quite small.

Is the 5D MKIII alot better than the 1D MKIV? Overall camera. I do nature, sports, landscapes. I like awesome auto focus, wicked higher'ish ISO, and image quality.

How about non-DSLRs that can do 1080p? Anything cheaper? Or would it be better to just use a body since I already have the lenses...

So I found a camera that shoots 1080p 60 fps, and pretty good quality. But I am having a tough time selling my Canon 10-22. The price is pretty good I think, but no interest. Is it not a popular lens anymore?

Haven't yet, going through the regular methods first. Their prices probably aren't that great but we'll see

^^^ That's a good price - that looks like they've included the rebate in the price.

Canon Eos 450D vs Sony A390L
I know they're both old, intro dSLR's but I'm just looking for something I can just throw in my car for spur of the moment shots. I already have a decent(ish) dSLR in the form of my primary video camera (Sony NEX-VG) for when I'm on the field. I'm not interested in using any of my current E- or A-mount lenses from said camera with the A390 if I went that route, so I'd just be sticking with the lens out of the kit.
Considering I can pick either one up in a bundle kit for under $200 brand new, I'm not overly concerned with build quality. I'm just curious which one performs better. None of the reviews I've read online for either camera were much help when it came to how fast RAW pictures processed after each shot, etc.

^Nice! It's always the tough part jumping the gun and shelling out the dough.
My D80 was recently stolen, so I'll be picking up a D7000 body soon.
Debating on the 18-55 or just springing for the kit and getting the 18-105. I'd love to grab a 18-200, but it's out of my budget at the moment.
Any thoughts?

Any thoughts? | grab a 2nd hand copy of 18-200 for its very useful all purposeness.
or grab a 2nd hand 16-85 for its somewhat wide angle capability and stunning image quality but lack of telephoto end.
its a tendency of wanting to have coverage on all focal length, but at the end you will only be shooting in a certain focal range. If you plan to have a one lens solution, than definately 18-200 is your best bet. Its not bad, but its just that there are better combinations out there that can outdo this lens anyday, but having to change lens constantly is just a pain in the butt.

1 Month old Nikon D7000 Excellent condition - $950 (Vancouver)

And will the Amazon $40 charger be any different from the $70 charger I buy from like Broadway Camera or Kerrisdale Camera?
Sorry still a noob
