Do any of the Tokinas have electronic motors for focus? I don't think they do, still using the old screw focus, very poor in my mind.

The Nikon D2H is a good deal right now, and has excellent battery performance.

It has already been said two or three times, look at the EXIF data, this will tell you exactly what shutter speed the data was recored at, period. This data is fact, it does not matter about noise or perceived delays.

I don't know the largest capacity a D70 will accept. But a "gotcha" could be having a large amount of work on one card, and it failing in some way. I would rather have a couple cards for any one outing, that way if a card went south, you would still have some photos from the event. Good luck.

That is an ugly deer!

At f2.8, this is a very shallow DOF, so with your example, you can have either subject in focus, not both.

As already stated, stop down your lens, and add some lighting. Good luck.

Lucky your sister did not keep her maiden name as her middle name, like some women do!!!

As long as there is no fecal matter on the lens.

i have the sigma for about 4 years, heavy use, with no problems.

I have the 18-70 AF-S lens that came with my D70, but I use it a lot on my D1H and it is a very good, fast focusing lens, relatively inexpensive too. Good luck.

Supply and demand? If they are selling extremely good, then they can raise the price. Or maybe the old car salesman trick, if a car wasn't selling, raise the price, and it would sell the next day. Too much for my blood.

LOL

If this is all your friendship is worth, a used N90S, I woould not invest anything in the camera or friendship. Wow.

I shoot Raw, then convert to Tiff and edit, then for quicker access convert to Jpeg.

..."I know you guys laugh but it is true"

 

Micki, no laughs from me, I just did not know all the facts, sounds like you know what you need. This past week I took my daughter to Circuit City to check out a DSLR for her, and she fell in love with the E-510. The E-410 was somewhat smaller, and also looked nice.

 

I am with you Micki, I like to click and go, I see something and capture it in a moment, or the moment. I am not too much into tripods and big equipment setups.

 

Have fun, tell us what you camera you get.

Get camera insurance, "No Fault" camera insurance, pennies on the dollar. Have fun.

I don't see live view helping a tremor? Maybe a camera with some sort of shake reduction, vibration reduction, anti shake, etc...

Good luck.

What camera did you have?

On sale at Circuit City, $99, the Samsung S630. Very good color handling, awesome macro for such a small camera, and uses AA batteries, which is nice, don't have to take a special charger with you. Just got one yesterday for my daughter. For more money the Nikon S50 is an awesome compact camera. Good luck.

I handled the Sony at Circuit City last week, and it felt very junky in the hand. My daughter has Minolta lenses and I thought I would get her the Alpha, but it just felt very cheap. Maybe I can get her a used 7D, or see what else Sony will offer in the DSLR range?

Hyper-Sonic Motor like Nikons AF-S

Blow darts

"we will pay you whatever we can afford"

 

Guess you got what you paid for. It amazes me how a lot of people want to "cheap out" on the photographer, but they are not afraid to spend the $$ elsewhere? Personally I would rather have more $$ in my budget for photography, because years from the big day your pictures are what you look at, not an open bar or fancy food dish.

 

Good luck, I hope you can recover some photographs. Also, maybe some guests have some pictures to share?

My F100, after a couple years of use, now eats batteries over night.

 

I love the F100, even more than my F5, but something has happened, and I can put new batteries in today, not even use the camera, and tomorrow morning they will be dead. It now sits on a shelf, for about 2 years now, and I use my old D1H, which eats batteries terribly too. I would like to have a D2H.
