yipeepep
Here's the deal. I'm in high school and i'm really into photography. I'm thinking about getting a Canon 40D. i want to take photos of monuments, landscapes like oceans and skies and mountains, i also want to take the occasional average photo like a family picture. I will be taking prints under 15x15 so megapixels shouldn't be a problem. fyi for landscaping my pics dont necessarily have to be a wide angle cause of my small prints
1) what is the nikon equivalent to the canon 40d?
2) is there a camera you recommend over the 40d based on what i am taking? (i will not spend more than what i payed for the 40d)
3) what lenses do you recommend based on what i said i was saying?
4) if you are a professional say that as well so i know (i will still look at non-professional reviews)
5) how important are IS lenses for what i am doing?
please answer ALL questions if u want 10 points for best answer
good luck!
Answer
first of all Canon makes good cameras and the 40D is supposed to be very good but I am a Nikon person so I would recommend the Nikon D300 . I have to diagree with the person who said only software makes it have some of the lowerst noise out there. I have the D300 and never turn on the noise reduction untill above 1600 ISO unless I am doing long exposures, over 6 seconds , then there is a noise reduction algorythm just for that ( with it set to off the camera apllies no noise reduction to ISOs below 4200/H0.3 setting and for the record on the other noise reductions settings on the D300 are turend on it starts applying them at 800 not 400 ) I probably will not get the points as I have no Idea what the 40D goes for But my D300 is worth every penny I paid for it and more. It has great color, ecellent performance at high ISO, great backwards lens compatibility ( I am using lenses I bought in the 70s still.) A titanium frame and sealed body. Its rated for hundreds of thousands of activations. I can shoot in 12 or 14 bit depending on the tonal range I need ( which may be very important for landscape). Its has 51 selectable autofocus points in 3 autoficus modes. It has 3 metering modes and they have user selectable.size
For landscape lenses I like the AF-S Zoom-NIKKOR 17-35mm f/2.8D IF-ED or the AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED if you want a bit more range. Remember the 1.5 crop factor ( 1.6 on the 40 D ) So the field of view would be that of a 25 to 48 and 25 to 78 respectively.
For portraits on the D300 I would say the 50 mm 1.4 or if you want to save abit the 50 mm 1.8 Nikon lens. Great bokeh and sharp as a tack on these. The 17-55 2.8 will also do a great job for portraits
Am I a professional photographer. That depends on your definition of professional If you mean do I get most of my income from ( 3/4 or more) from photography the no I am not. I have however been doing work for hire since 1975 consitently
IS/VR is rarely ever necessary it is at times very helpful. On a tripod you certainly can easily work without it. You can also get by without it if you keep the shutterspeed at or above the reciprocal of the focal length ( on your 200 mm lens shoot at 1/250 second handheld or faster and you'll never miss IS/VR) Where VR,/IS really pays for itself is where you need slow shutter speeds with longer lenses to conpensate for lower light
I don't think you'd go wrong with either Nikon or Canon systems, I am diehard Nikon but I have friends that feel the same about thier Canons. enjoy whatever you get

Question about Nikon DSLR camera lenses?
Jen
Can every model of Nikon cameras fit every type of lens? sorry if that doesnt make sense but say you have a Nikon D800 and a Nikon D90. Can the lens on one of them fit onto the other camera?
Answer
Yes. All AF, AF-I and AF-S lenses will fit both the D90 and D800.
Because the D800 is a full frame camera, it automatically crops the image frame if you use one of your DX lenses. FX lenses can be used on both cameras.
