Une DSLR: et pourquoi pas?

edit

C'était très sympathique, Benh, merci! Et qu'est-ce que vous me conseillez? Une Canon EOS 400D, une Nikon D80 ou bien une Sony A100? Peut-être une Nikon D200 (plus que celle-ci ça sera difficile...). Salut, Alvesgaspar 21:54, 10 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

PS - By the way, the solution to your puzzle might be: 24 = 5 x 5 - 1**5 (is the operator ** (= ^) allowed?) - Alvesgaspar 22:30, 10 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • Thank you for the careful information. Yes, you may be right about the importance of saving some money and chosing good optics instead of buying an expensive body with kit lenses. The problem with my camera is not only the small and noisy sensor but also the lack of quality of the lens in macro mode. The choice between Nikon/Canon/Sony might not be very relevant since they have all great bodies and good sensors.

J'ai toujours aimé beacoup de parler le français, je l'ai appris au lycée il y a déjá quelques années... Écrire c'est autre chose, la graphie est vraiment difficile, avec les accents et lettres doublées (pas la grammaire, qui est pareille à la mienne).

Hi

edit

Hi Ben,

I think you, like me, like to discuss pictures with others rather than just vote and leave. I know, however, sometimes I'll argue far longer than proper and am probably not all that consistent in my preferences. I'm on a big learning curve and learn a lot from great photographers like yourself. There's a balance between technical perfection and the artistic qualities. Perhaps sometimes our voting is the mood we feel that day! Perhaps Muhammad is right I'm talking nonsense. There are worse crimes. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for your thoughtful reviews (even when we disagree, which is fine) and great free pictures. Colin°Talk 18:55, 23 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have a bunch of pictures from my holiday that I must get round to uploading. I don't think many will be suitable for articles and not sure if any are good enough for FP on either site. But I hope useful to someone anyway. Colin°Talk 12:41, 24 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
