Hello.

Being new to the group I thought I would just jump in. I have to digital cameras, both Kodak, with the latest being a Z-612 (the Z-612 has been satisfactory, but it is starting to act up and the time for a replacement is at hand); however, I am now in the market to step up into something more sophisticated. I've been researching and am considering the following: the Canon EOS Rebel T3i, the Nikon D5100 and the D7000. I am looking to purchase a "bundle" that would include an additional lens or two and other "goodies".

Would anyone care to offer suggestions as to what you recommend or enjoy using during your photographic journeys? Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

Chuck

Hi

Wrote earlier about my DSLR's 1st Panasonic G1 which I couldn't really get a sharp photo out of, always a little soft. Tried a Canon 100D and shutter vibration stopped me with that, the went onto Nikon D90, super camera, used Nikon kit 18 - 105 lens and now new 55 - 300 lens, and a Sigma 10 - 20 wide angle, Just upgraded to the Nikon d7100 body and it is staggering.

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the input. There are so many choices out on the market that it's hard to make a choice. For years I've used a Pentax K1000 35mm (obviously before I went digital) and had fun with it, but now the viewfinder is "corrupted" as the seal (made of some substance of which I am clueless) has partially melted and obscured the image...and from what I understand to replace it is somewhat cost prohibitive. I had read somewhere within this thread that the Pentax DSLR's allow for the use of manual lenses without an adapter. I have both the standard lens and a telephoto lens that I used with my Pentax, so I may have to investigate that possibility. I hope to finalize with a decision in the next month. There is a sci-fi and horror film convention that I attend every year (it's called "Monster Bash") and I would like to have the new camera soon to give me adequate practice before July.

Sheesh! Here I thought that this would be easy.

Well, thanks again for responding. Talk again soon.

Chuck
Hi Chuck

No matter what camera you get, you will be able to get an adapter to use your existing lens with the new body, fair enough, it won't be auto but you will be able to use them as manual lenses. Search on Ebay There are adapters for everything.
