I've heard reports that Shuttertalk member 'Shuttertalk' aka Julian, bought a camera!


someone bought a camera! - shuttertalk - Oct 26, 2005

It's not true!

Yes it is!! Big Grin


someone bought a camera! - StudioJ - Oct 27, 2005

And he is a TRAITOR! (by his own words)


someone bought a camera! - shuttertalk - Oct 27, 2005

Haha, it's true! I joined the Nikon camp...

Picked up the twin lens kit - 18-55 and 55-200, with a SB-600 speedlight to come by redemption...

Hissss.......

Bah... Congratulations on your new purchase Big Grin

now we want PICTURES!

Congratulations Julian.

Congrats Julian!
Someone in the class I took last month brought the D50 and I took a few shots with. Its a nice peice of gear, fits very snuggly in your hand! (that was before I brought my 350D of course, so he was lucky to get it back off me!) Hope you have loads of fun with your new 'baby' and you must post lots of piccies!

Thanks everyone!

Just reading the manual now:

Quote:When operating the diopter adjustment control with your eye to the viewfinder, care should be taken not to put your finger in your eye accidentally.

woohoooo.. congrats ST!! <mumble mumble traitor mumble>

So where are the pics?

lol about the good advice in the manual... You gotta love the safety precautions they include in manuals these days. Does it mention anything like "do not take photos while driving or operating heavy machinery"? lol.

I hope you are busy out there taking photos and enjoying the camera instead of inside reading posts from me!


someone bought a camera! - Rufus - Oct 27, 2005

Is it me, or have you not actually stated WHAT CAMERA you bought? :/


someone bought a camera! - Kombisaurus - Oct 27, 2005

Its a Nikon Ruf.. do we need to know any more? Tongue

But yeah I think you are right. I just assumed it was a D50, but it was Schell who mentioned that model, not Julian.

I guess it's either a D50 or a D70s though... as he bought the "twin lens kit - 18-55 and 55-200"

ooo.. but he didn't even say it was digital!!! maybe its film??? (do they still make film cameras?) Wink


someone bought a camera! - Rufus - Oct 27, 2005

Film? :/

Isnt that what you get on cooling coco?? :/


someone bought a camera! - Irma - Oct 27, 2005

Congratulations!

Looking forward to seeing your pictures Smile


someone bought a camera! - shuttertalk - Oct 27, 2005

Hey you're right... I didn't mention the camera.. it's a D50. Big Grin

Haven't had much time but I'm so itching to play with it. I'll be going to the market at lunchtime to see if I can catch a few shots. Also going camping this weekend, so will get a good workout then...

Here's some modelling by my spice rack and car keys...

Dang, just noticed how blurry the photos were ... I was hand holding in poor light this morning. Sad

Film?

hey now watch the film jokes Big Grin Big Grin


someone bought a camera! - Kombisaurus - Oct 27, 2005

omg.. :o Not only is he a Nikon shooter but he's a Subaru driver as well!!! arrgg!!!

It had better not be a WRX, as they are the sworn enemy of any TOYOTA GT-Four driver! :p hehe

Here's how me and my friends deliver justice to traitors who switch from Toyota to Subaru... Let this be a warning to all of you :x

For what its worth, the victim of the above practical joke is a good friend and he LOVED it! He's one of the few people I know where there was never any doubt in my mind that he might get angry about it. He was quite touched that his mates would put so much effort into something like this. And apart from anything else he only paid $400 for the car - A small price for a joke that we'll still be laughing about in 20 years time. Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin


someone bought a camera! - shuttertalk - Oct 27, 2005

I got nothing against Canon or Toyota, but I only go for the best. Hahah... that was just a joke by the way... just in case anyone takes that comment seriously and leave the forums... Big Grin

It's a Forester by the way...


someone bought a camera! - EnglishBob - Oct 28, 2005

IF you only went for the best... it'd be a Honda! Not that employment in a Honda dealer makes me biast.....

I'm with you Craig!!

Hi everyone! I've been reading up on this forum for a while now ever since I got bitten by the digital phoography bug and have been hunting down the perfect dSLR. And so I thought, this topic would be the perfect one to post my first ever post because I just got my brand spanking new 350D last night!

Sorry to steal some of the lime light Julian Tongue

And by the way, I drive a Toyota Big Grin


someone bought a camera! - Kombisaurus - Oct 28, 2005

woohoo Mark... Welcome to shuttertalk!

A Canon AND Toyota fan.. I like you already! Smile Smile

Congrats on the 350D. Glad to see somebody inject some sanity into this thread! Tongue It was starting to get over-run by Subaru and Honda drivers who were all talking Nikon. Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

Welcome to the forums Mark Smile Nice Camera... can I interest you in a nice Honda? Tongue


someone bought a camera! - Mark - Oct 29, 2005

Thank's for the warm welcome guys. As long as i've been reading these forums, it has definitely been one of the most friendliest!

Thanks for the Honda offer EnglishBob but a nice L series lens would be even nicer Wink
