12/23 Are there SLR digital cameras?
\_ Not Really. Yes, there are SLRs, but they are not true
"35mm" SLRs. The CCD is not the same size as the film
(24mm X 36mm), as result, the lens you have will not
be the same effective focal length nor apature.
a 50mm f/1.4 will become something like 70mm f/2.3
-- photo geek still waiting
\- there are now 35mm SLR but they are $$$.
and the essence of an "SLR" isn't the
35mm part, who while the caveat is reasonable
"not really" overstates things. in fact there
are even larger format digitals take a look
at bhphoto. --psb
\_ well, for me, the important aspect of
SLRis being able to use dozen lenses
I already have.
\_ then you are limited by the brand
of lenses you currently have.
\_ Yes.
\_ yes. you can add regular lenses to them. They cost at least
$2000 without the lense.
\_ D30s (3mp) are available on ebay for ~1200.
\_ would you trust buying anything from ebay over $1000?
\_ Sure. Know the seller. Most are camera shops with a
virtual presence via Ebay.
\_ I bought a $2K laptop over eBay... no problems.
\_ Olympus makes one for about a G. Not that I would ever buy Olympus.. |
