Taken at our local Mardi Gras Parade. What a set of air bags!

Urge - Your pictures are fabulous... What kind of camera do you have?

I'm looking for a digital SLR. My Cannon Power Shot is ok, but I want something that I can use to control both apature, f-stop, and shutter speed.

thanks (i didnt think those were terribly good - just more of a 'here's what i've been doing this summer')

I went all out and bought the Nikon d300 .. probably more camera than i needed but i used someone else's Nikon and fell in love.

I'm still learning how to use the Nikon .. it's quite a curve... especially the flash i bough - a big semi manual Metz hammerhead... not easy to use right out of the box.

I'm reading good things about the Canon and the Sony Alpha700.

(my previous camera was a Sony Alpha100 and it wasnt bad at all ...

the Alpha 700 is about 1/3 less than the Nikon and it compares favorably.


i believe you can get good digital slr's for $500 - $700 these days.
double the price when you start adding lenses, etc.

Thanks, Urge.

I'm mostly impressed with the volley ball action shots... My little digital cannon is pretty much shit for shutter speed (been playing around with the feature today trying to take pictures of a running, squirming cat). Then again, this is more of a point-and-shoot than anything else.

Nikon's the name that I'll probably get - My last manual camera was a Nikon and by GOD it was a good camera so I've decided to stay brand loyal. I'll look into the other two that you suggested, though. And you're right - My price range right now is probably $500 - $700 (if I could pay off my credit cards and start actually saving of course - ha). I was just looking at the Nikon 6.1 MP, which is the same price as the Sony Alpha. I'll have to do some research. And, like I mentioned, be a little bit more disciplined with my spending. :o (I've gotten to a point where I am making WAY too much money to have the credit card debt that I am currently toting).

Good to know. I'll have to look into that particular model further. Thanks. :)
