ultimomachismo Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Canon G6Very satisfied! good compromise in getting an SLRgood pics and ALSO Videos! Quote Link to comment
ultimomachismo Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 im very happy with my canon s2. bought it for 36K and another 3K for the 512 sd card. it already paid for itself... used in in 3 major projects... and believe it or not 2 of the 3 projects were video projects! WOW! makes me wonder if my life had been easier (and more productive) if i got a video cam instead??? PS. steves digicam review helped me a lot in deciding. its difficult for me to be fiddling with several camera models before buying. so i went to megamall with the camera model in mind.I agree, here in the Philippines, its very difficult to try a certain hardware in mind. So you have to rely on reviews. Once you buy a particular model, its definitely a "NO EXCHANGE" basis. Not like in the US, if ur not satisfied with the product, you can always say to them that you dont like it. Quote Link to comment
DELISYUS Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 i have a canon s2 which i bought last Dec (and kasi we have a videocam na) because i told myself, i couldn't yet handle my then dream cam... the eos 350DÂ Â pero ngayon super crush ko talaga ang eos 400D... nag-iisip na ako kung san ako pede magnakaw... and goshness, add P13k for basic studio lighting and i'd be happy as a lark na am sure!

Â :cool:Â I'm actually more shocked at the price of the Canon S2...My dad just got an S3 for 28K, waaaay cheaper than the 36K mentioned for the S2. Â Right now, I'm actually wishing I never bought a DSLR... everything about it so damn expensive! An external flash costs anywhere from 12.5k to 24k...a good walk-around lens (like the Sigma 24-70 2.8) is around 25k. Lately I've been drooling over a super wide angle lens... the EF-S 10-22, but its somewhere in the vicinity of 35K---nearly as expensive as a new DSLR. haaay. Quote Link to comment

As a general rule, most camera companies make lenses that are only compatible with their own. The exception being Sony as nearly all the older Konica-Minolta film lenses are compatible with their new DSLR (not surprising since Sony bought KM's SLR technology).  There are several 3rd party lens manufacturers who make lenses for different camera bodies (Sigma, Tamron, Tokina), but these are still incompatible between cameras (a Sigma lens made for a Nikon camera cannot be used on a Canon).
