speedformula 0 #3 January 2, 2004 Get the canon 300d if you got the dough, this camera seems to be working pretty good for jumpers. I jump the canon d60 and its really nice too. one of the advantages of the canon eos line is that you can interchange lenses , with sony your choices are pretty limited. not to mention more $$ Keeping it real 22x7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

linestretch 0 #5 January 2, 2004 I think your poll is rigged. As for Sony being a popular choice, my experience with them has been ease of use, location of buttons (that'a big one), and quality. Not too mention, they may have been the first digital video camera's on the market. As for a still 35mm, I'd say the rebel is a good starter. No need to go big and dump a ton of money in something you may not like, or have it fall off your head (had it happen to a buddy).my pics & stuff!

partyboy 0 #6 January 3, 2004 I ve seen some of the cannons, and yes they are nice, but the sony still has the game on lock down. If you are the type of person who has the money to but a beginner camera, then like 300 jumps later, buys a new one?! I dunno, but if you are going to get a camera, then you better buy a nice one, cause it will last a long time, and keep current with the latest tech., by the way make sure the damn thing has fire-wire, try downloading digitl video through usb port, Hahaha, do you have 4-6 hours of spare time versus, 10-20 min? Yea. Up High!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
