Canons are slightly more complicated than nikons but I think your taking it a bit far. Every canon Ive used has an iso button either on the back or up top, and as far as the av tv thing goes does it really matter what they stand for? Even if you didn't know whats up some common sense could easily figure it out. And for the record Ive always thought it was aperture and time value which may not be as simple as A or S but it makes sense.
flash WILL freeze it, crank your shutter speed as fast as it'll let you with flash on, a d40 does 1/500 i think, another reason the d40 rocks over a d3000, i wish my folks had asked me what camera i wanted instead of letting the sales person tell them which one to get
...DINE...DGC...MTS...YDA...
From what i've seen Cannons tend to capture better footage and more fluidly than Nikons.
Regardless of what I post I don't condone any illegal graffiti, although I stayed at a holiday inn once.
Yeah haha I love this camera. I have somuch to learn from it. Will bouncing the flash be enough to freeze them. I don't want to point it right at them. Imgonna set my flash to 1/16 or 1/8 not too sure tho. I think tonight will teach me a lottt of stuff haha

robbie p, you a glass blower?
Fuck.
From what Ive seen cannons tend to be better at shooting projectiles than nikons
you won't be bouncing a flash at 1/16 or 1/8 for a show.
Just go find a garage or something and practice your lighting before the show, or, just use the show as practice.
Are you going to use it on the hotshoe or off camera? if hotshoe, just set that bitch to auto.
That's another reason to get the 285 or a similar unit, photosensor on the flash unit means auto mode works off camera.

so much talk, so little action, I wanna see some photos, everyones talking about whats best for this whats best for that, havent seen any actual photos for a while
For the lulz
I don't have a garage bro lol. I just want to go into it with a pretty good starting point. I can't use it off camera. I plan on buying some off camera flashes but have other shit to buy first. O well, I guess I'm just gonna fuck around tonight then post the results here later haha. And I did post flicks a page back for my talking

the quality of alot of their lenses arent that good...they just dont look very crisp to me
..and they claim to have "better image quality" because of the megapixels
..thats all i have to say

I wouldn't go above ISO1600 with your D40.
I know, I was drunk and talking shit. Just hate their single click wheel for changing both aperture and shutter speed, or I heard you change aperture by spinning the back wheel next to the screen? WTF? Just seems like comparing the design of a mac to a PC, mac shit just makes sense and so does nikon shit.
Da fuck cares? Who buys an SLR to shoot video ? Unfortunately heaps. Stupid fucking feature. Photojournalists shoot nikon, so you're wrong about 'fluidity'
Canon lenses are king, optically, but all their shit feels cheap, I'm with ya.
Something about them feels dog.
I bought nikon a- because a lot of ppl recommended it and I'm tired of seeing every scene kid with a canon lol

Oh and I was fuckin around last night with iso and anything above 800 looked like shit on the LCD but I couldn't look at them on a computer so I could be wrong

d90 because im a materialistic douche. And that is what i want next. In about a year i'll seel my d60 and move up to the d90
disclaimer: i do not commit any illegal acts regardless to anything that i post
i just bought a new d40 and theres a huge smudge on the lens
should i take it back or try and clean it myself? Ive never cleaned a lens before and i wouldnt want to damage anything
Been collecting photographs of faces for my new website, and also went for a walk last night drunk at 4AM through town photographing homelesses and other buzzy mother fuckers.
WHAT U HOLDING
BIG NIGHT
Use a soft t shirt. It's sweet to clean lenses, don't take it back you will get laughed at.
