true, the price of a high end dslr is a pisstake, i got a e500 for my 18th and thats a low end one.
best camera ive ever used and am still using is my OM-10, its the don man :rasta:

OM is a very good series...i like how versatile the extra equiptment is for Olympus

Thanks flaming. Thankfully she's got her mothers looks and not mine.

Here's some pics I've taken while in China

And here's some of my older pics taken here in California. These were all done on film and scanned

Thanks, filetmignonballs. I think...

My Sister gave me a digital camera with all the connections for my birthday. The connections wouldn't work with her new one. I have a video camera, do you want to make a movie? You can write the script.

Turn it in on Monday.

I make my living (at least most of it) with a camera.

Mainly these days i shoot video and i have lit many a movie set. Photography is painting with light. And it is the light u are capturing. Understand the light... take better pics. i also shoot stills for fun, news papers (the few that r left) and as my art. But i have been in the moving picture trades for quite some time.

i too am going kicking and screeming into the digital age. i love the "post" i can do, but a good film camera was as good as the lens u shot through and the film u used. Now with digi, everytime a new higher pixal camera comes out, it seriously devalues what u had, and as a pro, no one whould want me to shoot an "old camera" but when i shot film (i still do) i had a collection of tools from the most modern 35mm cameras i used for things like sports to 30 year old medium format cameras righ to a 4x5 that was built in the 1920's

i own a broadcast quality standard definition vid camera, but when i need to shoot HD or digi stills i rent for the job. and motion film is always a rental.

Not a photographer, but I have signed up for Media and Photography A-level at college today. Course fees come to nearly £300... damn. Plus I now need to buy a 35mm camera (SLR preferably), but its whatevers in my price range. My interviewer recommended that I do photography because Im interested in journalism, and I told him I would rather be an independent journalist rather than work for 'The Man'.
In two years, hopefully Ill be setting off to some war-torn country in search of the story that noone else has found. Difficult and dangerous; for me its just fun.

Some ''brill'' photos in this thread... Not enough discussion about tips on shooting ... I know u all got skills... Share em.. Any how, here are a couple more of my efforts?
