Wolfman-K: but I really havn't scratched the surface of what it's capable of yet. 1 month, 2 weeks ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: Whoa, who went digging for this? Yes I do have an XSi and it's a great camera, I plan on writing a review for http://TechnologyViewer.com but.... 1 month, 2 weeks ago [Web]
Phat Photographer: Congrats on the XSi Wolfman, I would love to hear what you think about it. I probably shouldn't but I have been thinking about an upgrade from the XT. 1 month, 2 weeks ago [Web]
jays0n: WOW good find, "IT LIVES!" Wolf did indeed finally get it. Wolf: Report, report we need a report! 1 month, 2 weeks ago [Web]
ManWithCamera: bringing back the long lost, long, long thread... Wolfman-K got the XSi :-) 1 month, 2 weeks ago [Web]
jays0n: Hey here it is! Wolfman we need a status maybe :) 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
jays0n: Neat but, I bet they would be quick to point out their mistake if you were to actually try to take advantage of it :) 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: ha! I just saw that Mac Connection misprinted am Oly E-510 Kit for the E-410 price. A $75 savings. Tempting tempting 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
jays0n: I think wolfman does not get a camera in that case, do to the zipline voodoo curse 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
David Chu: We MAKE it stay alive. <evil laugh here> 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
sveinhd: what happens if it doesn't stay alive? :-) 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Maaarcos: Yeah!, that's true! 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
jays0n: It has to stay alive till wolfman gets his new camera :) 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
David Chu: +1. Keep this longthread alive! :D. 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: Ha, yeah I get it... but unfortunately those are with my sony pocket cam :/ 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
jays0n: hey neat, this is that long long thread, I did not notice before that reply 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
jays0n: Thanks for the explain. I was wondering but also joking a bit as you were doing all those close close clooooose ups. 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: yeah its the price you pay for an all in one package I guess... one one part goes you can;t use any of it. :( 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
David Chu: good thing a dSLR has no lens motor. Unless you count the AF motor. 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: The lens motor/transmission is dying on my Canon S3. I was planning to move to a dslr this summer, but no cash for it now :( 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
jays0n: What exactly is wrong with the camera, wolfman? Seems it is stuck on zoom :) 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
David Chu: *+1 post* 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
jays0n: New metric for GAT to research for us: longest Zipline thread 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: Wow the thread that goes forever :) Yeah if I am going to buy new I want to get exactly what I want but used seems to be my budget so who knows.. :) 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
David Chu: He wants live view, so he can't get a Nikon (D3/300 but those are out of his price range.. haha) 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
.christine : Have you looked into a Nikon D50? I have one and love it. It's a great camera =D 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: although I hate all things SONY :( 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: I just saw a Sony Alpha on ebay for $160, now thats my speed :) 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
jays0n: It is fun shopping through someone else's eyes and wallet. Maybe we can have a pool to see who can guess how much Wolfman will spend. j: $580 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: you guys are sooo not helping ;) 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
ghanit: wolf, then you perhaps better don't touch any dSLR! ;) 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
ghanit: Oh, a 50mm lens has no zoom? :-O.. ;-).. but a zoom is still useful. With an 50mm in addition! :) 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: yeah when I do end up with an SLR a 50mm will be one of my first pick ups. 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
David Chu: I should add that the 50mm f/1.8 is a prime lens, not a zoom. So theres no zoom. But its great, low DoF, amazing in low light. 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
David Chu: Try getting the XT body only and the 50mm f/1.8 (a 100 dollar lens!). Should be cheaper than the kit. (50mm f/1.8's are amazing lenses). 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: @Phat B&H has an XT kit for $459... but, still a bit too rich for me, today. ;) 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: no I didn't only because I have a bad habit of impulse buying. and I just can't swing that right now. ;) 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
ghanit: cheap on ebay. Did you take the E-510 into your hands? =) 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
ghanit: btw: the 18-180mm is of much better build quality (not plastic) and better glass too. And you have to carry only one lens around! I got the 14-42mm 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: @Phat I ahve looekd at the Xt's I can't find a kit for less than $560ish... and I'd lose my LiveView LCD, which may be ok if the price is right. 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
ghanit: wish you luck with your S3! :) 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: oh and Ghanit they had an Oly 510 there with a two lens kit 22-42 & 40-180 for $724... I was tempted. :) 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Phat Photographer: Wolfman, have you thought about buying a Digital Rebel XT? Given that two new XT models are out, I am wondering if you could find an XT for cheap. 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: The good news is the S3 is working again (tho not 100%) so maybe I'll be able to limp along until I get some more $ 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: ok gang here is the word from the local canon shop. They can fix it for $259... for $100 more I could just buy a new S5. 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
ghanit: the new Oly E-3 has a swivel-LCD too! :) but it does cost a little bit more ;) If you opt for an Oly, try to get the 18-180mm lens as a kit! 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Maaarcos: But I think that's more than live view LCD, wolfmank, cause on your S3 you can twist the screen, so you don't need to crouch, move or twist your neck 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: http://www.zooomr.com/photos/wolfmank/4293338/ and this... both are good examples of why I want a Live View LCD 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: http://www.zooomr.com/photos/wolfmank/4293533/ Shot using my S3 Live View LCD 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
David Chu: Ghanit: I have to shoot at ISO 1600 a lot! :D. 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
ghanit: (btw: with 6MP you can expect to have less noise @ISO1600 than with 10MP! And who ever shoots at ISO1600? ;)) 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: I like the option for live view so that I don't have to get my big head and body in weird place to get interesting perspective shots. 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
David Chu: Hey Ghanit, thats the D40x, the D40 is much better at controlling noise! :). 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
ghanit: from strange angles. For normal shooting it is way too slow. I got quickly used to the ViewFinder (makes you look more "pro" too, I guess ;) ) 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
ghanit: that comparison is not a STANDARD TEST! go here for good test: http://tinyurl.com/ywkjc7 But I must agree with David,I only use LiveView when shooting 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
David Chu: Both are shown at 1:1. 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
David Chu: woflmank: http://static.zooomr.com/images/4304587_0e689de431_o.jpg 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
David Chu: You won't miss live view at all. I think ghanit uses it very rarely.. I know I haven't missed it. 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: Yes but David keeps forgetting I am looking for a unit with a lIve View LCD. Something you can only get with Nikon's $!800 D300. :( 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
David Chu: Also, since Olympus DSLRs use the 4/3rds sensor, the viewfinder is smaller, (harder to focus) and there will be more noise. 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
ghanit: David, the Nikon kit lenses suck :-P look at your manual focus ring :-P And if Nikon, then the D80! 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
David Chu: Nikon's cheap lenses are better quality than Canon's cheap lenses too.. and Olympus has no cheap lenses :). 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
ghanit: "professional" you shoot, how many lenses you need and of which quality.(btw: the on-screen menu of the Olys is great!:) )Go to a shop and try em out! 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
David Chu: Nikon's kit lens is better than Canon's. Also, I think you can get the D40 with the 18-55 and 55-200mm for around $530 bucks as well. Go Nikon! 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
ghanit: I would go for the E-510! But you need to know, if you want to buy all your lenses again and if you can live with a 2x crop factor! And it depends how 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
ghanit: than those of Nikon or Canon. And anlan told me once, that the $2000.- 7-14mm blows a $5000.- super-wide-angle Leica lens out of the water! 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: Thanks for the tip Ghanit, I am still hoping I can get my Canon S3 fixed, but... the Oly E-410 with two lenses for $569 is a pretty tempting alt... 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
ghanit: The Camera is affordable, but the lenses are not as cheap. You get very good quality for your money though. The kit lenses are of much better quality 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
ghanit: hey wolf! :D I wouldn't get the E-330. my photography store told me that Oly made great progress in the last year+, so the quality is really better 6 months, 1 week ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: Yeah I am looking at E-330's for under $400, and E-510's with 3 lenses for under $800, and they have Live View LCDs which I love. 6 months, 2 weeks ago [Web]
David Chu: however if you get a Canon version it will AF with any Canon DSLR you get. 6 months, 2 weeks ago [Web]
David Chu: I also have the Nikon D40 and the kit lens is great compared to Canon's kit lens. In any case, I recommend the 50mm f/1.8 (won't AF on the D40) 6 months, 2 weeks ago [Web]
David Chu: The Canon XT is only 450ish bucks WITH the kit lens at BHPhotovideo.com :). Olympus's lenses are expensive.. but they're really good. 6 months, 2 weeks ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: Yeah just saw that... I'm doing some research in case my Canon isn't repairable. The Olympus E Series is pretty affordable... 6 months, 2 weeks ago [Web]
David Chu: Ghanit shoots with an E-510. 6 months, 2 weeks ago [Web]

Wolfman-K: Anyone out there shooting with an Olympus E-330, E-410 or E-510? 6 months, 2 weeks ago [Web]
