**Photography Talk**

So I'm getting a new camera for graduation and am trying to decide between the D7100 & D600. Just trying to decide if FF is worth it. The only non-kit lens I have is a 35mm f/1.8 DX lens and an older 70-300mm ED lens (non AF-S non VR). If I get the D600 that's all I get and can't get any more lenses, but if I pick the D7100 I have enough $ for a new 70-300 AF-S VR lens (or something else comparable in price).

I've been comparing and reading reviews online all day and went to the local camera store and handled the two. The D7100 has a few nicer features (51pts of AF, higher res screen, and more movie modes to name a few) but the D600 is FF.

What do you all think? Get the D7100 and a new VR 70-300mm lens, or is full frame really worth the extra $$? I don't do a whole lot of low light shooting (unless its long exposure night shots)

I'd like to start doing a lot of landscape shooting and also shoot a lot of auto racing. I am pretty set on the D7100 and a new lens but am curious what others think.

What is your end goal? If it's just a hobby, then I would go for the D7100. Still plenty of camera. If you want to try to make a buck at it, I would go FX and start a collection of good glass.

Really just for hobby. I've pretty much decided on the D7100, I like how it's a little lighter, has the 51 points of AF, and faster FPS. I am going to the Australia V8 supercars race in Austin, TX in a few weeks and I think those few extra features will come in handy.

Are there any good camera backpacks out there that anyone can recommend?
 
I heard someone mention Lightroom and thought I'd give it a shot. This is my first attempt at messing around with a cat that stays around our complex:
 
Re: used 40D. I wouldn't get one because you can't micro adjust the lenses for front focus or back focus.

It doesn't make much of a difference for crappy kit lenses, but anything that opens up to 1.4 that you want to use in low light, portraits, bokeh, etc. will require micro focus adjustments.

50D has this feature. Any serious pro camera needs it, AFAIC.
 
I might be way behind the times on this, but have any of you guys seen this:

Either the guy has huge hands or that's one tiny DSLR!
 
:iagree:

I have the same one, it's hand's down the best design when it comes to a better sense of security. Never having to worry about someone opening your bag behind you is priceless, especially when walking around crowded places.

Not to mention that if you're out say in a wet forest, you can sit the back of the bag down on a wet ground (with the rainfly on) and have full access to most of your equipment. All while keeping the pack itself dry.
 
I think I might sell my Toploader Pro 75 AW and get the Flipside sport 15L AW. Looks perfect. My gear is just too heavy to have on one shoulder, at least outdoors. If anyone is interested in the Toploader, let me know.

That's the Rebel 100D/SL1 with a 40mm pancake. It's billed as the smallest DSLR on the market.

Which makes no sense, because once you slap a big lens on it, it'll look ridiculous.
 
I just got myself a Sony RX100. Supposedly it is a professional pocket camera. So far I am impressed although still learning how to use this thing!
 
Nice shots Casper. Really like the second to last one!

Thanks. First time actually editing some.

Chris im so freaking jelly!!!!!

Thanks Eric! 18 of my friends made the trip to dive for abalone but mostly to party for a week. By far the best camping trip I've ever been on! Plus I had the privilege of towing a wrx 260 miles back to Truckee. A buddies clutch shit the bed.
