5D, Rebel XT, D50, D70 WAS:Re: Thursday, April 13, 2006
Hi Doc: Lots of Vancouver flickr people have all of these cameras and you will be happy with all of them. Can't recommend the EVOLT because nobody I know has one. According to pro photographer Ken Rockwell, (kenrockwell.com/tech.htm), the Nikon interface is better because you can adjust important parameters like ISO and quality without taking your eyes off the viewfinder. I have a Canon 20D and I love it but if I had read Ken's stuff first and didn't love flashless photography and fellow Bryght guy Kris Krug (flickr.com/photos/kk) didn't have a 20D and 5D I would have gone with the Nikon. The only advantage the 20D has over the D70 and D50 is ISO 3200 which I use a lot (I hate flash photography) If you have the money go for the 5D in my opinion and get a 50MM 1.8 or 1.4 lens and a zoom lens and you will be set for many, many years (depending on how tough you are with the gear). If you don't have the money or are tough on gear, get a Rebel XT and the 50MM 1.8 or 1.4 plus a zoom and then when you destroy :-) the Rebel in a couple of years, upgrade to the a full frame camera like the 5D which should be at least $US 500 cheaper in a year or so. If you are at Gnomedex, you can also try my Canon 20D. '
