I’ve Taken The Plunge On A DSLR
Photography November 8th, 2006That’s right, if you couldn’t tell from the title I’ve finally taken the plunge on a DSLR after all of your advice and help. What did I chose? The Canon EOS 350D.
So far I’ve taken around 100 test shots, the DSLR gives me immensive control over what I’m shooting. I’ve already done some comparisons to my Sony P&S and it wasn’t even worth my time, the 350D blew the Sony away in image quality.
Current kit: Canon EOS 350D Body, 18-55 Kit Lens.
Coming Soon: 2GB CF Card, 50mm 1.8 Lens, 75-300 Lens.
Keep an eye on my Flickr account for photos!

Wow. Nice camera. Where’d you get all that money? Blogging? If that’s the case, I should get into it soon.

Welcome to the Canon club :-)
One recommendation for your camera setup. If you can afford, get rid of the kit lens (it’s crap) and buy a good lens in this focus range.

I follow your blog out of Switzerland almost daily. Keep on going….

Congrsts on the ccam, must have set you back a petty penny, were looking at getting a nikon d80, we just sold our finepix S2 pro and iv been using my mums canon isus ad i really do have to say DSLR are the way to go, shame they arent a bit more portable.

It’s really not the body that matters so much. sometimes it’s not even the lenses.
a colleague,

it’s really more about the composition, DOF and shutter speed. master those, and you’ll do fine on disposable film cameras, D80s (mine), 350Ds, D50s and anything else, even compacts.

Looking back on your circumstances, (10 vs. 8 megapixels… etc.) I’d say you made the right decision. I do a lot of printing work and I have both the 350D and 400D, and there is a significant difference in the prints. Seeing that you won’t be using the 400D to it’s max, the 350D was the right choice.
