Ive been talking and thinking about this getting one for a long time now. (Bok you might remember). My brother is currently in the US of A so I asked him to price it for me. €680 for the camera and double lens kit, he called me yesterday while in the shop and I took a deep breadth and said "buy it now!". Have to say I dont know a whole lot about photography but im looking forward to getting into it. TBH I havent bought any gadgets since I started working (over two years ago now!) and Ive been itchin like mad to get something. so anyway, Ive read all the reviews, it seems to stack up well against the competition, only thing being the lens' might be a bit more expensive. But with the built in Image Stabilisation, it means I dont have to shell out in IS for every Lens I buy from now on.
Congrats :)
ReplyDeleteFebruary and haven't looked back. Beware that it will soon become a money pit! So many things you can buy for it...
What lenses come with it?
What the hell... The first line of my comment got chopped it - I said that I bought my dSLR in New York back in February.
ReplyDeleteThe twin lens kit is 14-42 / 40-150mm Lens', TBH it doesnt mean much to me yet. Cant wait to get my hands on it though. made about a €300 saving on it buying it over there.
ReplyDeleteYeah same here - I bought my D50 and a Sigma 70-300 lens in B&H in New York and saved a fortune on it.
ReplyDeleteIm getting my new camera over the next few weeks, Canon EOS 5D. Getting it from t he states, gonna cost around €2000 for the body and a 24-105mm L Lens. Would cost €3000 here. Steve is right, Once you start spending money on this stuff, you cant stop!!
ReplyDeleteDid You boys buy any filters yet. I havent had a chance to "get out" with it yet, with the darkness in the evenings and the miserable weather at the weekends. Still the Pics ive taken indoor are unbelieveable quality. Printed a few off at the weekend and they are deadly, (mostly pics of the nipper)
ReplyDeleteHavent bothered with filters yet apart from a UV one which is a must to protect your lenses. Be carefull changing the lenses, i.e. dont do it too regularly. Those sensors are dust grabbers!
