Hey guys, sorry for the OT. After some discussions with Rudra recently, I have decided to sell my camera and upgrade to a DigiSLR, now that they are affordable. I am referring to the first 3 items in my post http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/showpo...0&postcount=44

Since the forum market section is for auto parts only, where can I post the sale details?

I have a Canon EOS Rebel with standard 28-90mm lens and a Canon S-50. Always have been a die-hard fan of Canon. Rudra Sir can you tell me what lens upgrades I can think of, for my SLR ? Sometimes I find it more fun than the digital one....

Have you tried duracell?

ramkya1 · 5th December 2005, 14:18

Hai BHPians,
I have a sony cybershot DSC HI and its pretty good with a 12 X optical zoom. Its a wonderful piece of electronics and engineering.
I heard that the Cannon S2IS is better than this, though the price difference is not much.
I have a ready buyer for my Sony at a decent price and want to evaluate S2IS...... If any of you have information and experiene on the Cannon S21S, that will help me decide. Tnx.

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canons2is/ i think you could find reviews for other cameras as well. i have been following this site for two years and i find their tests to be unbiased. regards krishna.

IndianDawg · 5th December 2005, 14:54

neoranjit · 13th December 2005, 04:22

NIKON 4100 coolpix
4.1MP with 3X zoom

Steeroid · 18th December 2005, 23:19

Ahhhh....this thread popped up again, reminding me that its time to update!

Nikon D50 6.1 mp Digital SLR, standard lens + 70-300 mm from F65.

v1p3r · 18th December 2005, 23:32

My camera is FOUND, that's what it is!

More specifically, it's a Nikon 5900, just like Manson's. But unlike his silver (I bet it is!), mine is a lovely blue. I bought it over the similarly-priced and definitely better-looking S1 for the fact that it records VGA video at 30fps.

Where is that camera now...

hkanitkar · 19th December 2005, 02:45

1 :
Nikon D100

Nikkor 18-70 (3.5)
Nikkor 70-300 (4)

PS: i am planning to buy a Macro lens - please suggest guys, and gimme some idea about the price too
