Hi Guys,
I'm trying to save for a new DSLR camera which I hope to buy in the next month or so. I've done a lot of research and I have one in mind plus the lens, expensive or what! but it's a really interesting subject.
Anyway I'll just have to keep plodding along with my trusty old Brownie for at least another couple of months yet :laugh:
It's served me well in the past but it's not a real boys toy.
Here's some Killifish pics from this evening.

Whilst the shots aren't all that bad, I really need that new camera. The fish were performing beautifully this evening and I can only think what a missed opportunity to get in really close.
Regards
C

Great pictures! That quality I would already be more than happy with... I used to have in the non-digital age a Canon with several lenses, but I noticed that I was reluctant to take them into the field with me (for work) since it was so heavy... So I am now more than happy with my 'hybrid', a Sony which is between a full-fledged lense camera and a 'easy-picture-taking' one.

Which brand are you thinking about and how many megapixels? I have noticed that the manufacturers seem to back away a bit from upping the resolution. Canon just brought a hybrid in a series which have been going up in terms of megapixels (last model was 14), and now have gone back to 10...

Hi Biulu.
The Camera I've got in mind is a Canon EOS 1000D 10MP (although an older 300-400 series 8MP would suffice)
complimented with a EF50 Macro lens (would like a 100mm but funds wont stretch LOL)

Sounds good Colin ! For some reason I have always kept a special place in my heart for Nikon. It was my first 'full-fledged' camera with 2 lenses and I loved it. I am though no longer up-to-date with this equipment so have no clue whether they still make good digital cameras.
