Bought a DSLR

(1/6) > >>

I had been contemplating buying a digital SLR for some time and finally pulled the trigger this week.  With a baby due to arrive in a couple of weeks I figured my picture taking will multiply exponentially!   :)

I've always owned Minolta SLR's and have been happy with their cameras so I chose Sony's 10.2 MP A100K.  It was a no-brainer for me as all of the lenses I own will fit the Sony body.

I also picked up a 2 gig CF card.  I hope it will be large enough as I have no idea how big a max res image file is.

Anyone have experience with the Sony DSLR's?

ChadTower:

Not those specifically but I used to work for Kodak in their consumer level digital imaging division...

That is some serious picture power. I have a Sony p200, and have been taking all the "professional" style shots myself with it. The quality is excellent, but I am sure yours will be even better. IMO, if you are going to take your own formal pictures lighting is much more important than the camera with the current  quality of digital cameras.

To answer your question, I have no experience with DSLR's...but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. ;D

Congrats on the baby, it is really fun taking pictures of them.

ChadTower:

Is it one or three CCDs?  That's more immediately important than lighting.

One.  This is an "entry level" camera.  Got a pretty good deal on it.  $625 with a 18-70mm lens.

I'm mostly an outdoor photographer.  Family stuff.  Not really into the pose and say "chees" thing but I think experimenting with some studio type portrait shots might be fun.  Especially with interesting lighting.

Shardian - thanks for the kind words.  As you well know, everyone here is glad yours came through with flying colors.  :)
