What's in Your Camera Bag? - Page 3

post #21 of 613
Yes they did.

I'm getting the D40 tomorrow I think. but I'm having a hard time going from my P&S 10MP Camera to a 6MP Camera. or will the D40 DSLR just blow away my ghetto Kodak 10MP camera I currently have. it's just a thin crapper. and a backup as the old Canon 630 died early death.

Would it be worth it to get the D60..?

also the D40, is it easy enough for a beginner like me to take good shots. and what would I need to take some amazing Macro shots?

don't look at the megapixles.there is a lot more to taking a picture then more megapixles. a LOT more. plus more megapixles can actually cause some issues also.
one of the biggest advantages would be flexibility and much less noise in your pictures.

You have a zoom lens, the factor just isn't that large. If you want a good relatively inexpensive zoom, go for the Canon EF 28-135 USM IS, an awesome "walkabout" lens which can be had for less than $400.

Reasons for the D40 and D60 were spelled out in the OCN Camera Club thread, but to reiterate, I say go for the deal you're considering for the D40. The D60 is rather large jump in price for not that many significant upgrades. Besides the D40, you might look at the D40x, which has a 10 MP sensor.

To take amazing macro shots, you need a macro lens! However, decent macros can be taken with a standard zoom, you just won't be able to get as close as you would with a macro lens.

The D40 is fairly user-friendly being an entry-level DSLR, but basic photographic knowledge is required for taking any kind of good shot, e.g. proper aperture settings, shutter speed, ISO speeds, composition, post-editing, etc.

Nice, someone with an SLR that isn't Canon or Nikon! Now we need to find the Pentax SLRers.
