Kerry, Emma & Anna - thank you! You've made me feel a bit better now.

I had a chat with my brother this afternoon who has recommended the D60 if I can stretch to one....

What cameras do you all have?

Glad you're feeling better Laurie. I agree with your brother, provided that you try it out in a shop and make sure it's comfy in your hands.

I'm a Canon freak, so I've got a 450D

 

[leedsforever]

I just have a compact

 

[lauriech]

Anna - what Nikon do you have? Why do you recommend handling one first?? I've used my dads (D300) and it was heavy but a fab camera!

Tiggertea - do you prefer Canons to other makes?

Kerry - don't worry...I don't know much about cameras...just know what my dad and bro have told me. Just cos I know names, doesn't mean I know much about them - just sounds good!!!!

 

[tiggertea]

I handled just about everything available at the time before buying and found i got on slightly better with the canon, it's just a case of what your comfortable holding to be honest! I'm scared to handle a nikon again in case i change my mind

We could all recommend cameras til the cows come home but it has to feel right to YOU for it to BE right (make sense?! lol)

 

[AnnaBanana9]

Laurie, Debz just took the words right out of my mouth! That's exactly why I recommend handling them.

I have a Nikon D200 - the model that was replaced by the D300, so they're just about identical in size and weight. I LOVE big, heavy cameras

:wave: laurie!

first challenge launched on redbubble girlies.... has everyone signed up yet?

Ooooh! I've been out all day and there's so much to read through! i haven't even looked on my Redbubble yet!

 

[Neecee]

Oooooh! just seen the challenge!!!! YAY!

 

[Mrs_N]

i have a canon 350D - it was the make that felt right to hold, it's all about the hold!

 

[lauriech]

Think I'm going to have to go camera shopping then girls!!!

xx

 

[SmileyShazza]

lauriech I have a Canon 40d but I would definitely echo what the others have said about going and handling a few different cameras as they can vary in shape and size so much.

You need to be sure that you are going to feel comfortable holding the camera - especially if you are thinking of spending quite a lot of money on it

 

[emma_27]

Ive got a nikon D40. It feels right in my hands ive held a fair few and i prefered the D40 as it was small and light and ive got tiny hands so fitted me right but like the others said defo handle some before you invest

 

[tiggertea]

so what we sayin is: be a camera whore and have a good grope of em all!
(sorry, couldn't resist a little vulgar comment! )

 

[emma_27]

Lmao tiggertea. You have to try before you buy i say lol.

Ive just uploaded a few images on redbubble i hope they are good enough!

 

[tiggertea]

i've decided to ban all thoughts/comments remotely like "not good enough"...

 

[emma_27]

Lol constructive critism only. Ive got one for the kitchen challenge but its not a patch on Annas. I dont know whether to go for it and put it on or try for another one.

 

[tiggertea]

You can add it and keep trying if you want, entries can be changed right up til it's time to vote!

And Anna doesn't count - she's TOO talented!! (ha! )

 

[chel27]

hi girls...i have spent the last couple of hours trying to do a picture after quite a few hundred shotsi have something semi decent

are you all on red bubble now? i havnt signed up to it. everyones pictures on there are so good.

 

[AnnaBanana9]

Thank you for the compliment. However, I think I need to remove my photo - just thought that I should take one specially for the challenge, but that one was already on my RedBubble.... sowwy!
