    Re: I Got A DSLR!

    I want one pretty bad, I'm dead sick of these crappy point and shoots. I miss the control my old SLR gave me.

    What did you get? How much did you pay for it? What lenses did it come with?

    This thread, like the camera, is useless without pictures.

    Re: I Got A DSLR!

    I want something with less control than point and shoot. I find it too complicated, first I have to point, then zoom, then press a little to focus than further to take a picture. I want to just point and it should read my mind and know what exactly I want to take a picture off.

    And what's the deal with that face detection thingy that recognizes the face and shows a zoom of it? Who needs that? I need a tits and ass detection feature. It would be way more useful.

    Search on the internet. Plenty of material on DSLRs and lenses for the same.
