Cool Tools For Capturing Summer Memories
Today’s cameras are increasingly affordable and easy to use. Some are all-around best bets for general photography, while others have compact zoom lenses that make them perfect for travel or a waterproof chassis that lets you snap shots in the pool or at the beach. Here are five cameras to consider:
ADVANCED AND AFFORDABLE Looking for an affordable D.S.L.R. that is snap-simple to use and can capture spectacular photos and high-definition 1080p video? Meet the Canon EOS Rebel T2i. It’s a perfect gift for a recent graduate who has outgrown a point-and-shoot — or anyone who is getting serious about photography.
The EOS Rebel T2i costs $900 packaged with a sharp Canon EF-S 18- to 55-millimeter f/3.5-5.6 lens. The T2i employs a large 18-megapixel APS-C sensor for capturing outstanding images (generally, the bigger the sensor, the better the photo). It also has an accurate and fast autofocus system, which means you’ll miss fewer shots.

Will the lens of an old nikon camera work on one of the new digital cameras?
Sep 03, 9983 by Larry H | Posted in Cameras
Lenses for an F801/8008 would all be Ai or AF/AF-D. They would almost certainly NOT be AF-I/AF-S (the F801/8008 can't operate the autofocus motor in AF-I/AF-S lenses). They would mount on any Nikon digital body.
The two gotchas would be:
1. Ai lenses (except for the fairly uncommon Ai-P lenses which are actually AF-D lenses without autofocus) would get no metering on anything except the D1/2/3 or D200/300/700.
2. AF/AF-D lenses would not autofocus on a D40/D40x/D60
Another important thing to note: Except on a D3/D700 all your film lenses will behave like longer lenses on digital bodies, due to the 1.5x crop factor of the smaller sensor.

There will be some limitations depending on which lens you have and which
camera you buy. A D40 or D60 will not autofocus with anything other than and AF-S or AF-I. Also some of the lower end DSLRs will not meter with some older lenses. In most all cases however, the lens will still mount and seat properly and aperture down when shooting, the exception being a "Pre-AI" lens.

Yes either with or without an
adapter depending on how old they are.

Does anyone own a Nikon digital camera that they love or hate?
Jun 03, 2009 by Elle | Posted in Cameras
I own a Nikon D50,and am happy with it. The only frustrating thing is that I don't yet have the skills to fully utilize its capabilities.
HOWEVER-there is more variation in pix quality due to the skill of the user than in the cameras. Sort of like making love.
