Good photography forum?

[imported_Stew]

Anyone here know a good photography forum with lots of members, and preferrably a for sale/trade section?

Thanks!
Stew

dgrin.com?

http://www.dpreview.com (very popular forums, good info, no FS/FT)
http://www.fredmiranda.com (slow site, poorly designed page, busy FS/FT)
http://www.nikonians.org (nikon specific, annoying forums)
http://www.nikoncafe.com (nikon specific, my favorite of the bunch, friendly people, fs/ft)

I really like dpreview, but I wish they had an FS/FT forum.

Definitely www.fredmiranda.com. Very active, forums are great, FS/FT section. The site is worth the wait.

The page layout is what keeps me away from dpreview. I can't stand that site.

Lot of tech info and talk on dpreview. Good for basic and technical info, but not the best if you care for photography as an art.

The fredmiranda forums are fairly well rounded, though there's been a huge influx from the dpreview crowd lately. Still some good people on there but not what it used to be.

Agreed, nikonians is too damn annoying. But at least they have a nice FS/FT section.

Haven't posted at nikoncafe in half a year. Nice people but I don't care for the direction they're going in.

Fredmiranda is slow as hell...especially the search function. Some old archived pages take up to five minutes to load on high speed cable internet...the people are nice, smart, and the layout is pretty good though. Also the buy/sell forum is very useful. DPReview is the other one I'm part of...I don't post there much though because the alienating layout sucks, but again there are some smart people.

Fredmiranda is by far the best out there.

Experienced photographers and very busy forum. :thumbsup:

Still looking for a good place to find a cheap Rebel XT. They pop up on FM every few days, but I would like to look on another forum...

except you you have to subscribe to post in the fs/ft forum.

I think most of the good ones have been mentioned. I personally pay attention to DPreview and Fredmiranda.

I thought people still posted stuff for sale in the appropriate forum based on the manufacturer. But I haven't been there for a while so maybe that has changed. But I always hit up that site for photography stuff.

Photo Takers is a good one. I've been a member there for quite some time now.

poorly designed site, someone stuck in the past and to cheap to make it a better site.


dpreview - fast, easy to use
