So, I get the XSI, and the lenses, filters and polerizers will all work? (What I'm thinking of when I think of this shit is like... different caps not working on different cans, to put it into perspective)

 

Auto Focus is overrated I prefer manual personally.
(granted I'm shooting film strictly right now)

 

I love me some manual focus, but there's usually no split prizm on modern slr's unless you change the focus screen out, so MF is a bitch without that.

I prefer this type of focussing anyway

FYI

Buying top-of-the-line brushes doesn't make you Claude Monet

 

I think that it's safe to say that I'll never own the camera who's viewfinder I just posted, I do have the $20 version (electro35.) which takes pictures just fine.

I assume you're comment was directed towards me.

 

Mostly for skating and motion shots, although I'll be using it for street and art as well. Burst shots is one thing, yeah, but I also need it to take the shot as soon as I click the shutter.

 

you mean a fast autofocus?

 

seywhat- i like some of them.for future reference, put a space between the the pics for easier viewing lol

 

I guess, yeah; no shutter lag pretty much.

 

well you'll always have "shutter lag" with autofocus, to eliminate that you do manual focus

 

I'm sorry for polluting this thread, but by using manual, it eliminates shutter lag, and can do burst shots rather quicky?

 

yes and the autofocus speed depends on the lens i think.

 

yeah...i mean, as far as shooting a moving subject youll run into pics being out of focus when your subject gets further/closer away..

once your pics in focus and you start bursting shots, after the subject moves out of the focus point they'll be blurry

your best off just auto focusing, i shoot alot of things that require fast focusing and minimal intervals between shots

...really isnt a problem, unless your shooting many pics of cars or races it shouldnt be a problem

in well lit situations, autofocus will work for you just fine

its when you get to dark areas that will bring problems

 

I don't expect to take any shots of moving objects in dark or at night.
Thanks for the help, I'll probably end up getting the D40.

Theres a mode called AI-Servo that's made just for moving objects. I use it all the time when I shoot shows or the like, basically as long as you have the shutter half-pressed, it will constantly reevaluate the focus and track your subject, that way when you hit the button there's almost no lag from focussing. The downside is that it can eat up some batteries if you're shooting for a while like that.

 

seywhat- Nice photos man. I like them alot

 

more photos, less pish pash. flicking through this thread is dull now man, post some dam photos
