Fred Miranda is a really good site for buying/selling second-hand. Besides good prices it also helps out people who live in the boonies vs in a large city. I got my 1st DSLR there, Nov 2004 got the...

True, but I aim for getting the shot right in-camera vs fixing it later. Same with white balance. I also don't believe in cropping, I'm like Henri Cartier-Bresson that way. 😊

A spirit level so your landscape shots aren't crooked. My favorite: the Joby JB00124, it mounts on the bottom via your tripod socket. (B&H link: http://tinyurl.com/ycpyobfn)

I think it's 3 things: (1) the "down-market" move vs the D7200 even if it's better overall (2) other compelling options outside of DSLR land (1" compacts, Sony E mount) and (3) model-to-model ...

That is fine if you're a snapshooter and that's all you aspire to be, which is probably what your mother was and probably 99.5% of most people's parents for that matter, and something is better...

Oh please. More of this ridiculous hyperbole. What next, is Spaghettios going to kill Italian Restaurants?

I picked it up today, maybe 2 hours ago. I was a bit nervous as they hadn't even charged the battery enough to where I could check it for functionality. (Silly me, why didn't I bring a battery ...

Thanks for the tips on the firmware update (André) that's something to keep in mind if I ever come across the AF-P version of the 18-55mm. I was not aware that you could get this at WalMart for ...

Yes it is used, a local young photographer sold it either upgrading or getting out. I will later update with how many shutter clicks are on it. It is rather amazing when you consider that in 2003 ...

I almost got an even better deal, prior to the A6000 going for a dip someone had a D5200 with the kit lens AND the 50mm 1.8 G lens for $200. I didn't grab it because I didn't see the need when I ...

I've used Nikon in the past, most recently the D5300 two years ago, and I have a D3100 for my wife. I'd been using Sony E-mount in the form of the A6000 but it was lost on my last vacation to a ...

Oops sorry, wrong forum, feel free to delete.

Exactly. I consider myself a "hobbyist photographer," and that's about all. I would NEVER insult those who are actual bonafide professionals by suggesting that I'm a photographer just as much as ...

I think a bunch of photographers should make sure they have their lawyer's number at the ready and descend on the place and take photographs ANYWAY and then when it hits the sand have their lawyers...

This silly "lo-fi" fad strikes again.

I have a spare Nikon 18-55mm kit lens, $40. It is the non-VR version, it came with a Nikon D3100 kit I got earlier this year but I already had an 18-55mm lens so I don't need it. Has both front & ...

For me, and people with TASTE, image quality is major, certainly way more important than how easily you can share it. You'll be looking at that photo years later and you'll appreciate the better...

"For better or for worse, photography has been democratized and commoditized," definitely for the worse. People's tastes have sure gotten awful too, thinking everything needs a "filter" vs having...

I can't really complain since this site is free, but I miss the detailed reviews where it even shows you what the viewfinder's view is like, the menu structure etc.
