What kind of camera do you have?

I have Nikon-does good job family picture .But went to Porter wanted to get higher zoom lenses.Found out can not add one on. that model and paid $600 + Was not too happy.Dh wants to get Canon Rebel t3i +300 zoom To get some good close ups.He talked to lady at Best Buy.Told what he wanted it for.Got Bald Eagles in back . And today 20 cardinal at least. Wants to be able to take pictures and not scare them away.

 

Bret bought me a Fuji finepix for Christmas. Not sure if I like it or not?? I need to take the time, read the owner's manual and try to get it figured out. I am not patient when it comes to this kind of stuff

 

I have had a Cannon Rebel for 7 years, excellent camera. No problems. Technology has however, improved so that the newer cameras have more light gathering capability. Under less than ideal lighting, newer cameras often do not need a flash.

I have a Canon 500D,after having moved up from the 350D a few years ago. I'm still very pleased with the shots I get with it and have never had any trouble with it even after almost 17,000 shutter activations.

Have you done any research on your Nikon and lens availabilty? I would have thought that your $600 would have been a model that extra lenses are available for...


Another option to a zoom lens is to build a hide and get physically closer to the birds...

 

I guess it is this model. And Dh was holding finger down to long and taking many of same shot.But the manager at porter No customer service manners.Dh bought tripod from sales girls. He asked ??? about it to him.And said Flat Out I can't answer them.He had all ready bought it . I would have walked up to counter and asked for my $$$ back. I all ready called them. And told them would not be back. And Dh reading manual on Rebel.

 

I do not have one now, my Canon Ixus 400 finally died ... so sad!

 

I'm very bad about not (really) sitting down and ready manual.Since I had seizure -I skip read. And have to go back.But has cd can show us also.

 

I got a new one for Christmas, its a GE X2600. Learning to use it. Had a Cannon for Years, loved it too.

 

I wish I had known when I paid over $600 for the Nikon.This model couldn't add a bigger zoom. Told them wanted to down the road to take (((close))) up of the birds and butterflies- farther away. Lady at Best Buy new her stuff. So be watching for some great pictures.
