2009/8/31-9/9 [Consumer/Camera] UID:53311 Activity:nil | 8/31 Does it make sense to buy a nice 70-200mm f/4L lens and mount it on a
cheap Canon Rebel XSi with 12MP? I'd hate to upgrade the body
because bodies get outdated quickly, and I don't care about how fast
auto-focus is. I just care about image quality for non-sports pics. I'd
love to have a sharper lens than my cheapo 55-250mm and don't care
about the body, but I'm wondering if there are severe disadvantages

2009/7/21-24 [Consumer/Camera] UID:53172 Activity:moderate | 7/21 NASA uses Nikon cameras. NASA prefers Nikon cameras. There are more
Nikon cameras that went to outer space than any other brand. I love
Nikon cameras. They're built to be abused, built to last.
\_ When is Apple going to make cameras or partner with a good one?
\_ Canon cameras are just as good, and I think in the US Canon is more
popular than Nikon. -- yuen, owner 3 Nikon SLRs and 0 Canon.

2009/5/28-6/5 [Consumer/Camera] UID:53053 Activity:nil | 5/28 Reading camera posts got me curious about rangefinder cameras. In an
era of DSLR, full automation, and instant digital imaging, why would
anyone want to use a rangefinder camera? Why are Voitglander and
Leica even making modern rangefinders when DSLRs are clearly superior
in terms of lens selection and features? -DSLR guy
\_ Rangefinders are still more quiet, have less vibration, and are

http://csua.com/2002/06/16/#25111
But Nikon and Canon came out with a 11X zoom. The 18-200mm.
Ironic how times have changed eh?
\_ You haven't justified that they are "good", only that they exist.
\_ Tamron also has a 28-300mm. Don't know if it's good though.

2009/5/4-6 [Consumer/Camera] UID:52944 Activity:high | 5/4 Which Canon dSLR should I buy?
\_ The cheapest one you can get away with, and the most expensive
glass you can afford. Camera body depreciates 1/2 every 18-24
months. Plastic kit lenses depreciate at about 15-20% each
year till they're worthless in about 3-5 years. Good glass
(constant f/2.8 and below) hardly ever depreciate, and some

don't seem to get it.
\_ You are dating the wrong women (for you) then. My sister-in-law
loves it and yet I don't find it all that funny. It's not a
gender thing.
\_ is she a nerd? does she laugh funny? is she actually decent looking?
