I've got a Rebel XT. Have the 17-55 kit lens, but I generally shoot with my Canon 28-135mm IS. Probably going to pick up the 50mm f/1.8 to play around with soon. Also looking at the 10-22mm or 17-40mm Canon lenses for Alaska next summer. For you newer guys out there, I recently picked up a Hoya SMC Polarizer, and it's incredible the difference the thing can make to the image in sunlight. It's really a must-have.
As far as settings go, just check the PBase for exif. But I tend to try and shoot mildly stopped down (f/8 - f/10), unless I'm going for the minimal DOF. AV mode mostly, unless it's M. I'm transitioning over from JPEG+Raw to exclusive RAW shooting.
Also, I agree with the prior posters comment, the small jpeg compression just doesnt do justice to the detail in some cases.
psychoace said:Nice thanks for the tips although i must admit getting new lenses is pretty tough on the wallet
be forewarned, don't cheap out on it, or it could do more harm than good...expect to pay a heft price for a 3mm thick piece of treated glass ridiculous.JackieO said:Ah, thanks - actually for the purpose they serve (my car detailing business) I want the bright reflections. That said, I have been wondering how to eliminate that for personal photos. I appreciate it.
i wont be blowing them up that big....so it wouldnt be worth the extra 50 bucks and get the rebel xt?MJCfromCT said:Unless you are doing something like blowing your pictures up to 20x30 prints, then no, you won't notice the difference (assuming you take the pictures properly and they are in proper focus, exposure, etc.)
majenta bias?Rare1 said:The canon has a better sensor, and the nikon has a better kit lens. The nikon also has a majenta bias.
They are both great.
meaning there will be a slight magenta color cast, SOMETIMES...not all the time....easily fixable in post processing if there is....antok86 said:majenta bias?

Actually camera bodies are more easily replaced than is glass. Once you invest in 2 to 4 good lense you are pretty much commited to that manufacturer. You will also have the glass longer than the body, in the case of Dslrs'. Bodies are cheap to replace @ $600 to $1700.n64man120 said:By this statement I'd have to say the canon is a no-brainer, as you can replace a lens alot easier than a sensor :x That being said, there's other factors and subtle differences between the two as well. I've tried them both and prefer the XT's form and feel.
