It depends. I post my photos on a blog for everybody that follows me to see. And I've had a couple of cases where somebody used my picture and didn't give me credit and I just kindly ask them to tag me in it or put a link to my flickr or take it off.

If you're really butthurt, just take legal actions if it bugs you that much. But for the photos that I never post but are on my flickr, they know how to get through flickr's anti-download defense which isn't hard actually lol

I mean pictures that someone wanted taken for their business then they used them without paying.

I know this question has been asked probably 1,000x in this thread but I've never owned a DSLR before and I'm looking for an easy to use camera. Looking to spend like $400-$600.

I was looking at the Canon EOS Rebel Xs or the EOS Rebel T2i. Anyone recommend either one of these or know of a good camera in my price range?

 

[airjzz]

^ speaking from a canon perspective, I shoot with the T2i as my first DSLR and have no regrets. I chose it because it seemed to be the best 'all-around- entry level in regards to picture quality as well as video. My other option I was considering was a nikon d5000. Either way I don't think you can go wrong.

 

[the tradesman]

Hey guys, im new to this DSLR world, but I researched and decided that the canon XS is a good fit for me as a beginner. Are there any other DSLR suggestions other than this choice? Maybe the XSi or Canon? And also, I have been hearing that its not really about the camera, but about the usage of different lenses; they change the whole look of the image. Is this true? Any help would be appreciated, all of these pictures are motivating me to start photography as a new hobby. 

 

[clevereddie]

Is the D7000 still sold out everywhere?

Btw I'm selling my D5000 for 550$, it comes with a 35mm 1.8

you can use flash, i never do for some reason. i probably should at times though.
i have had a working relationship with nike for about 4 years now, so i get invited to media summits pertaining to sports or their NSW line. if things go according to plan in the next few months, i might be able to add on for some help at these things. i will post in here if it all works out and i end up needing help down the road.

 

[airjzz]

^ regarding the XS, I'd say thats fine if you are really on a strict budget and have zero aspirations for video. The lens are def more important than the body as well.

oh, i think you prolly misunderstood what i meant about the flash...in the 2nd pic, i noticed no one using any external flash/units, thats only reason why i asked

 

[coogi sweaters]

I received a Canon PowerShot SX30IS for Christmas and don't really know anything about digital photography.

Was this a good purchase?

Should I try to return it to get something else or just learn with this?

Any help is appreciated

 

[polarbear laflare]

Another thing how do you know which lens to use to suit your needs?

I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark II, and i am usually shooting with a 24 f/ 1.4L or the EF 50 f/1.4.

I choose what lens i'm using based on the stlye shooting im doing (street shootin vs. portraiture)... I mainly shoot in low light, so i like large aperture lenses.


some random stuff, old... but i haven't had time to edit/upload anything. blah.

Halloween

XSi is a Canon body. Great entry level DSLR if you're just starting out. If you're interested in video, T1i/T2i is what you're looking for. You can take great pictures with the kit lens which comes w/ the body. I would recommend learning the settings and such on your camera first before spending hundreds on a new lens. Once you familiarize yourself with the camera and the basics of photography, you can invest in a quality lens.

 

[the tradesman]

Thanks ReMargable. Oh I didn't mean "XSi or canon," I meant or Nikon haha. So would your advice then is to just purchase the XS and once I get familiar with all of the features, purchase higher quality lenses?

Canon PowerShot S95 is the best point and shoot.

If you're looking for a DSLR, go with Nikon.
