    Patrick, You know what is so frustrating about this? By the time I figure out what a hotspot is I will have owned that camera for months.

    Patrick, Can you briefly explain testing the D90s sensor and looking for hot spots?

    My first "serious" camera: Looking for thoughts on Canon EOS Rebel T2i or better

    Michael, You got a D90 as well? That's great. Just loved the feel of the camera. Also, the BH Photo reviews I read were mostly from newbies that said the camera is so well laid out that it's easy for new photographers to take great photos right away -- even in auto mode. The...

    Scott, Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. A lot of Canon users here. Hope that doesn't hurt me in the long run.

    Is it perfectly fine to shoot in JPEG at the highest settings? I have Photoshop on my Mac but I don't really expect to have to do any editing except for perhaps getting rid of red-eye which is done with a simple tool. Besides, read in a user review that (at least with CS3 and CS4)...

    BOUGHT A CAMERA! It has been a pretty wild week reading countless online reviews and of course, the advice of all of you who participated in this thread. I figured I had to make up my mind and just buy something. So, tonight I applied for financing through ONE CALL and then...

    Mike, The difference with me is that I would want the latest technology and then pay through the nose to get it. Keep enjoying the show. I'm on Amazon right now reading reviews. Think I have hit every review site for Nikon and Canon that exists. All I do is read.

    My first "serious" camera: Looking for thoughts on Canon EOS Rebel T2i or better

    I don't have to buy a camera now. I suppose I am just in the "mode" and very anxious to make a decision. If there was a camera that was as solidly built and well reviewed as the Nikon D90 but had the 1080P video capability of the Rebel T2i at a pricepoint of $799-$899 for a body then...

    Carlo, You are muddying the waters further. What do you think the new 60D would be comparable to? Does it have the potential of being a better camera than the Nikon D90 or the Rebel t2i?

    My first "serious" camera: Looking for thoughts on Canon EOS Rebel T2i or better

    So I went to BestBuy today to look at both cameras which turned out to be a far better experience than I imagined it would. The salespeople were busy with other people which gave me the opportunity to pick up and hold both the Nikon D90 and Canon T2i cameras without anyone bothering me...

    NewEgg has the Nikon D90 for $1049 which is a pretty damn good price considering what the price is elsewhere. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16830113155 No financing, however.

    My first "serious" camera: Looking for thoughts on Canon EOS Rebel T2i or better

    Hi Marty! No decision made yet. The choice still stands between the Nikon d5000 and the Canon t2i with a slight lean towards the Canon since I already own a Speedlight. I am looking to order from One Call. Reason being that they offer 12 months financing. B&H does not. I don't...

    My first "serious" camera: Looking for thoughts on Canon EOS Rebel T2i or better

    Sam, The Canon I linked in post #36 does have the 18-55 lens unless I am mistaken. Says so in FEATURES. Can you do me a favor and make my life real easy? Go to the Best Buy or One Call site and shop for me. Send me links for a Nikon d5000 package with the lenses you recommend...

    My first "serious" camera: Looking for thoughts on Canon EOS Rebel T2i or better

    John, Thank you for the very frank advice. First, regarding that fixed lens, now I understand. If it the lens doesn't have a range in it specs then it is a fixed lens which I don't want since I want to zoom in and out. Regarding the DSLR I am looking to purchase.... After...

    Sam, I greatly appreciate the offer, but I have to finance this purchase. Also, in another thread, you speak out against these kits yet you recommend one of the same the same kits here.

    Sam, Thank you. If I can't find the kit -- and I'm not a Costco member so I doubt I will join just to do that -- can you comment on the items that I linked for purchase, particularly the difference in the two telephoto lenses I am looking to purchase. One is two hundred the other...

    Okay...here I am again. I have been out at Comic-Con 2010 this week with my colleagues, Adam Gregorich, Neil Middlemiss and Cameron Yee. All three gentlemen brought their DSLR cameras. I had the opportunity to really look at the kind of pictures these cameras take as well as the...

    No, Sam, you are not sounding like a jerk. You have been quite helpful, and really, I understand where you are coming from. This thread has brought a great deal of realization and I thank all of you for that. I am the kind of guy that has all kinds of gadgets but very little...

    My first "serious" camera: Looking for thoughts on Canon EOS Rebel T2i or better

    I think I will remain with the Canon brand. I bought a Canon Speedlight 420EX years ago when I bought my Powershot G6. Never used it because I never took the time to figure out how. (that should prove I should stay away from DSLR) But there was a good point made here that the...

    Mike, I should look into the Sony Cybershot as a consideration as well. Almost pulled the plug on the Canon G11 this afternoon. But then I read Sam's post about a possible G12 in the next few months and I decided to wait. ....but I am interested to see how well the Sony...

    My first "serious" camera: Looking for thoughts on Canon EOS Rebel T2i or better

    Leaning towards purchasing the Canon G11. Reviews are generally good but some say that it has shutter lag. Is this the best point and shoot out there right now? Is the Canon G12 around the corner? I would hate to buy this now and have it outdated within a few months....but then...

    My first "serious" camera: Looking for thoughts on Canon EOS Rebel T2i or better

    Going to take your advice. I can't be bothered with huge cameras and expensive lenses. I would have been happy with the Rebel EOS ts2 but it seems like to really take advantage of it I would have to spend more money on lenses. So, for just point and shoot, what is probably the...

    My first "serious" camera: Looking for thoughts on Canon EOS Rebel T2i or better

    Scott, I am an amateur photographer. I always use "auto" mode on my Powershot G6. The camera actually takes pretty decent pictures. It's just that I saw the pictures taken from my friend's Canon EOS Rebel T2i and I thought to myself, "Gee, those pictures look incredible."...

    Wow. Think this is my first post ever in the Photography area of my forum. Hello everyone. Currently I own a Canon Powershot G6 digital camera. It takes pretty damn good pictures but alas, its technology is slightly outdated. So, I really was not considering upgrading my...
