Both extremly good and capable cameras.

Rudra,
Holy molly... when did u buy that 1Ds???

My list is :
EOS 50
50 1.8, 24-85 USM, 100 2.8 macro.
Bogen/manfrotto tripod...
None of these equipments are exploited to even 30-40% of the efficiency.

navin · 11th October 2005, 19:32

Steeroid · 11th October 2005, 20:00

Doesn't matter. You have plenty of time in future.

Now, this is news! Why did you buy Hasselblad in the first place? Don't tell me that you were shooting models for campaign also.

Sahil · 11th October 2005, 22:08

I have the Casio Exlim 4.0mpixel - Good quality with a big screen and really sleek too.
Also have a Sony camcoder but am planning to replace it soon with the new Sony DVD recorder which breaks thru from the conventional look of the camcorders. But part is that it records directly on to a dvd so all u need to do it shoot and throw it in u r dvd player to view. check it out http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...MP=OTC-FROOGLE

I never bought the hassie I inherited it from my godfather it sits in LA along with a triumph spitfire and that is why i forgot about it. i have shot about 15 rolls with it since i got it.

got the Nikon from B&H in NY, the 851 and G2 from Paradise in Sing.

I also got a 60" tripod forget model, a bunch of 62mm filters and a polarizer etc..

I have already wasted one golden opp. Most of the snow mountain shot got blown out. Felt really nasty... now started reading john shaw's... hoping to pick up some knowledge...

Harrie · 17th October 2005, 11:33

I have a Nikon 4600 4.0 MP 3x opti zoom. Not a big shutter bug. This one does the work for me. Best thing is this camera has proved to be splash proof. I fell inside a river day before yesterday on a trekking trip. Went in till my hips. Was wondering what happened to the camera, but thankfully nothing happened. Had to dry the batteries though
