Thanks for the links
At 1st I was pretty much set on a Canon Rebel T-something lol but after some advice was pretty much set on a Sony Alpha 33 something but now have my heart set on a Nikon D90.
The Sony does have more fps capability than the Nikon but I like the photos much better with the Nikon that I've seen on various flickr photo pools.
I decided against the Rebel as I was told they were more suited for those that have Macs and I'm way way PC

Basically you won't find any low rated DSLR's from Canon or Nikon or other any other major advertisers. Not that it matters but Amazon owns DPR. And the brands which do not advertise much but offer gear as good as the big spenders will usually be glossed over or panned.
The sister site to Imaging Resource is SLR Gear ( http://www.slrgear.com/) with decent reviews on a lot of lenses and some user ratings.
Plus it is always good to have multiple resources. Also if you are looking at a Canon visit:
POTN: http://photography-on-the.net
Fred Miranda: http://www.fredmiranda.com (non-denominational photography site and a great resource as in general)
Also a lesser know site is The Motley Pixel ( http://www.motleypixel.com) they have had decent examples of lenses in the past but did sort of drop off it seems but I haven't checked back in a while.
There is a marginally OK site for Pentax shooters at: http://www.pentaxforums.com but they have become a marginal site to my thinking and preferences. While I shoot Pentax again, I still hang out on POTN more as the people are nice and want to help now matter what brand you use. Dedicated Nikon sites tend to be odd ducks period.
Here is a good site for learning DSLR stuff via video: http://www.learnmyshot.com
And there are oodles of dedicated groups over on http://www.flickr.com for every aspect of photography you can want some are good others are, well, not to much. It is still a nice place to view photos to get ideas. |
