Yet more pics+Camera update

I went over to a photography store today and learned a lot more about various camera models. SLR means that the screen cannot be used to view images. So you have to use the viewfinder. There were 3 camera's which I very much liked. Here they are:

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT----8 mpx-SLR-Interchangable lenses
Nikon D70S---6 mpx--SLR--interchangable lenses
~~Sony DSC R1~~10.3 mpx--Non-SLR--Non-interchangable lenses

I really loved the Sony. It is above the Canon Rebel XT in price, but cheaper than the Nikon, which has less features and capabilities than the sony. Here are some links to some reviews.

As you can see it is an excellent digi-cam. It costs 1100$ CAD, at least in the store I checked out which isn't the cheapest. I could probably get it for about 1000$.

The pictures above were taken in the botanical gardens. I will post more in this post tommorrow so check it again by the end of tommorrow for updates.

Actually I had never used a more professional digital camera before. I was amazed by these three. Especially the Sony. Also I like the swivelling screen atop the sony. Its very nice. The design is interesting.

My dad has started using Youtube. He made a movie with his digital camera while he was on his scooter. Its good. My current camera can make video's but without sound unfortunately.

In comparison to the Sony Cyber-shot R1 my current camera is a toy! I will get that camera instead of the Canon Rebel XT actually... While it is more expensive it is certainly worth it with 10.3 mpx!

However. I may want to get the Canon Rebel XT just for the lenses... But then again you also have to consider that each lense can be up to 200$$ CAD!!

The lense built into the R1 is quite good though. I'll have to read those reviews more closely.

I went on another photography trip today. This time over to downtown. I haven't tranferred those pictures to my computer yet though. So I'll post them tommorrow. I also went to the botanical gardens this morning.

I will be going to milwaukee near the end of this month actually. I'm looking forward to that...
