Amazon has the Metrolake Houdini Corkscrew in blue for $9.99, $40 off. This is made by the people that make the Rabbit and is very similar. I ordered four for cheap gifts (free shipping!) that don't look cheap. They came today and are very nice.
This was $25 cheaper yesterday but is still a good deal. These have been much, much cheaper in the past and hopefully will be again.
See the 400SC FAQ for more information.
Sigh . . .
I saw this deal posted alomost immediately. I told my office mate and I ordered a system for him. He told his friend so I ordered a system for the friend. They both got shipping notices. The friend's PC arrived today.
So I get around to ordering a system for my parents and then Dell...
Question for SterlingTEK: I am going to order 3 of you BP-511 equivalent batteries. What I REALLY want is a dual battery charger with a 12 volt adapter option. Any chance?
[qThe "feature" everyone was complaining about originally was the AI Servo mode in which the camera would stay focused on a locked focus as it moved either toward or away from you. In most settings this mode is on and cannot be turned off. However, it has been shown that this doesn't affect...
I'm not sure what you mean by "motion". There are (apparently; haven't tried it myself yet) some annoyances for high speed subjects. Certain features (don't remember; predicitive focus maybe?) are only available in certain modes and the buffer is smaller than the 10d. The missing feature is a...
The D2H is interesting. The huge buffer is great and the Wi-Fi option is cool. (Though I wonder if they are sufficiently encrypting the data stream. Probably they are.) I'm surprised that they stuck at 4MP for this rev though. This is really a photojournalist camera and not of much use to me...
Oh now I'm jealous. But in New York I would only have saved about $30. What am I bid for my 20% off coupon? Actually I think I'll use it for a new monitor.
Starting a format war should be the definition of thread-crapping.
Yes, Nikon makes outstanding equipment and, in particular, has many excellent lenses. However, comparing USM to asphereical lens grinding suggests that you don't care about the topic but merely wish to disagree.
Canon is...
I loaned all my CF to my parents for their trip to Ireland and the kit doesn't include any! (Which is actually good because it drives up costs and is useless in the tiny sizes they normally include.) I'm hoping to borrow some tonight.
The Dell deal is for the kit which does include a lens. The body w/o lens lists for $899 elsewhere. I do not know if Dell carries the body-only version. The camera does not come w/ a compact flash card however.
The f/1.8 50mm is a really good lens for the money. If you can find the metal-barrelled Mk I version of it used for a decent price (<$100), strongly consider it. The 1.8's are also better for infrared than the 1.4. (Not that I know if the Digital Rebel is suitable for IR photography. I'm hoping...
Almost all states do not have to pay sales tax for Dell Home. Why not just ask when you call? Or go to the dell home web page and put something in a cart and see.
Hmm. Now I'm all confused. I'll use a different example. If you put a 50mm lens on the digital rebel and took a picture and then an 80mm lens on a film rebel and took a picture with the identical parameters (other than lens) with a film Rebel, they'd be the same. In other words, really good wide...
The Digital rebel body is $900 most places. The kit, w/ lens, is $1000. What makes this deal so hot, and why I snagged it, is Dell is selling the kit for $899 and change. AT LEAST $100 less than you can get it for anywhere else reputable.
Thanks for that insight... Yes, my lenses are EF's... However, I'm confused as to what the film to digital field-of-view difference would be when using my EF lenses on a DRebel. For example, what would my 24mm wde-angle EF lens be equivalent to when used with the DRebel???
The focal length...
Yes, the 1.4 is substantially more expensive than the 1.8. But buying a $1500 camera body and using $80 plastic lenses is silly. Get the Olympus C-5050 Zoom for about $550 if you just want a good digital camera. I have the 1.4 for my Elan IIe system and it is great.
645AF has this for about $565 shipped. You can get refurbs for about $520. The price has ben trending slowly down. When I go on a trip or just cannot take it anymore I'm buying.
