is it wise to buy a DSLR now?
depends what to use it for.
Are you an amateur ? a proffesional ? I guess an amateur. For me i think it's not yet time for DSLR. Too expensive. The Top film camera EOS 1V can bebought for about £1100. The top DSLR is around £6000. And if you spend that huge amoubnt of money now, you know for sure this model will be obsolete in 12 months and you will be looking at selling it at a decent price in order to upgrade. You will also need big fast storge cards, a ast PC, with lots of storage space. It may be argued that Digital saves money on film+processing but forces you to upgrade software and harware every now and then. Digital SLRs lose their value the same day a rumor for a successor model is out. HAve alook to see ho many people are trying to sell their CAnon EOS D30s and D60s which they bought 2 years ago. Just a thought.... "as" wrote in message ... as title |

Never mind the price you pay for the camera body -- good quality glass
will cost more (in total) than the body after you collect a few lenses. Even if they give the bodies away free the glass will still cost quite a bit. Buy a dslr that uses lenses that will be usable for a long time to come and use and enjoy your toys. as wrote: as title |

From putting my memory card into the computer, to desatuaring in Photoshop, to printing is 2 minutes. Something to think about. And it's cheap cheap (for the negatives...) Printing is a little more expensive. |

Considering how fast technology advances, I would say that it is. You can
get last years model (of any camera/brand) at a great price, and still have a great quality camera. "as" wrote in message ... as title |

Why wait to buy? Buy right now, or the time will never be right. While
you're waiting for the perfect camera to come along, you're losing valuable shooting time waiting for that camera. Time that cannot be recovered. That shooting time you're missing is also practice time, time to perfect your techniques, or develop your own personal style. Remember, Mighty KC, of baseball poetry? He was waiting for the perfect ball to come along so he could hit a home run. First ball came along..strike! Second ball came along..strike! Third ball came along..strike three...you're out. Don't wait for the perfect camera to come along. Take action. "K. Bibis" wrote in message ... depends what to use it for. Are you an amateur ? a proffesional ? I guess an amateur.
