Hey All,
-
Hello everyone. im very new to the whole photography world so please be patient with my basic/stupid questions i may post!
Anyway, i have a Canon EOS 3000 35mm SLR (used very little i might add) but im getting a DSLR ASAP, i was thinking about the Canon 400D-what are your thoughts?
The site looks great so far, looking forward to learning and sharing as much as i can.
Seamus.
:DWelcome along Seamus. The 400D is a good camera to learn on. Do a little searching in the camera section and you’ll find plenty of comments on it. If you’re happy with the model then make sure you shop around … the pricing can vary wildly … and there is a cashback on offer from Canon at the moment.
Welcome in Seamus, I use the older 350d and I love it.
Great camera to cut your teeth on.
Plus Canon is by far a superior brand ( watch for the outraged replies hehehehehe )Seriously though have fun posting.
Cant go wrong with Canon really.But its a a preference really I know plenty Nikon, Fuji etc users that wont stray from what they use.And afraid that other brands might burn their hands.Each to their own.I use Canon because I know where the controls are, you should have see me when I got the Fuji…Talk about confusion
Seamus,
welcome to PI and enjoy. Good luck with the purchase and ask plenty of questions. There is no such thing a s a stupid question ……. we all have to learn somehow …… so dont be shy or afraid to ask.GrahamB wrote:

OK, you’ve convinced me.
I’ll ditch my Nikon D200, Nikkor 35mm f2, 50mm f1.4 and 18-200mm VR, my Sigma 14mm f2.8 along with my SB800 Flash, SC29 Flash Extender Cable and MC36 Remote Cable.
I obviously have no option now but to buy a 350D with 17-55 Kit lens as I’m weary at getting inferior quality shots :) :) :) :)

Welcome to PI Seamus. Don’t worry…a lot of us here arrived as greenhorns…ask whatever questions you need answered.
Btw…check out Graham’s shots here on the site…if anything will steer you towards Nikon..that will..hahahah!!! :twisted:

Welcome Seamus.
Remember, we all ask basic questions, but there is no such thing as a stupid one.
Just ask. Someone will know the answer.
