Hi All,
To update you all, I've finally acquired a 400D. Will start a new flickr site to share some of my first pics after so long with you all. Thanks for all your support, concerns, and advices.

good luck...
 

I like ur reply ;)

Why can't you shoot for ur kid even if u r a pro, in this context u r the parent.

I find it irritating to hear comments like "pro" when ppl use (D)SLR.
There is no rule saying only pro can buy EOS1D or D2X.
Maybe they'll think whoever drives a WRX STI is a F1 driver. :dunno:

i ask the offical what is the diff btw my 6mp jpeg and the pns 6mp jpeg...also come out photo wat..why cannot shoot...no reply from him and he walked away...continue to shoot after that...
 

This same responds happen in concert also, not sure why PnS can shoot, DSLR cannot. I think they are scared that we take good pics can sell and make money from it. Crazy, wait till the day where PnS is as capable as DSLR.

Congratulations, you have made a right decision to get the 400D.

You have to start from somewhere, be it big or small.

Just remember that the equipment is just a tool for getting the job done, so do be familiarized with the equipment before your first assignment.

All the best pal.
 

too lazy to read out the whole thread, but no worries dude... hang around more and shoot more!

Ultimately you will find out what equipment you lack and need :) Just buy what you need at first and until you are comfortable enough, then consider buying equipment that can complement your shooting requirements and your image as a photographer :D

cheers!

(D)SLR makes noise when the mirror flips, so can affect the performance (in case of concert), while PnS is more likely a synthesized sound which they can be turned off (assuming the user is considerate).

I cannot find other reasons.
 

I find the price diff between the 400D and 30D a small gap if you are serious about photography. Firstly it is now about $500 diff, more presentable, faster fps, better handling, better build (more resistant to abuse). $500 is a small sum compare to the lens you will be investing for a wedding. I don't understand why people are advising the TS to get 400D? Don't make sense at all.

What you have mentioned do make sense. However, since the TS has quited his full-time job and just starting out and testing the water as a freelance photographer so it's always better to start small and upgrade from there.:)
