Bought a DSLR

<< < (3/6) > >>

I would eventually love to have a Canon DSLR.  I have a nice Canon 35mm SLR so I'm locked into the Canon brand forever for lens compatibility.  I've got a nice point-and-shoot digital, but I still use the SLR, in spite of the inconveniences of film, because the pictures are just so incredibly nice.  There's SOOOO much more to good pictures than megapixels.  I can't wait until I can get a DSLR and get the best of both worlds.

CCDs would be constructed using primarily CMOS technology.  CMOS is the term for a class of circuit, not a specific device type.

This is exactly the reason I went with the Sony.  Backwards compatibility.  If I didn't already have a bunch of Minolta gear I might have chosen a Canon or Nikon as they're looked upon very favorably.  The Sony has gotten pretty good reviews though, so I have no reservations about my decision.

Donkey_Kong:
Probably the most intriguing feature of the new Sony camera is the internal Image stabalizer. We have the Canon Rebel 8.2mp. My wife is liking the idea of this new sony camera. Please let us know how it works out when you get ahold of it.

Would our Canon lenses work on this camera?
 

ChadTower:

What is the point of an image stabilizer on a still camera?  If the pictures come out blurry your shutter speed is too slow.
