Showing Restraint
Posted: Thu 18 August, 2005 Filed under: Photography, Thoughts 3 Comments »Last weekend while I was in Manchester I made a very bad move. We went in to the Jessops camera store, and I had a serious look at the three main contenders on my Digital-SLR list. For those with a short memory span, the list is
The main thing I’m still unsure about is whether I should go for a more “entry level” SLR like the 350d or the slightly more advanced/complicated 20d. The 350d is currently running at about £650 including a lens, and the 20d is about £1200. Oh, and the Fuji is closer to the £2000 mark, which is the main thing that puts it out of the running in my estimation.
Anyway, I looked at all three, and I think I’m most likely coming down in favour of the 20d. But we’ll see.
And in the meantime, I did manage to show some restraint, and actually not just buy one and the hell with it. This may be more of a problem next month, when I’ve been paid an obscene amount again…
There’s a “Which Digital SLR?” discussion going on at the moment over at Mezzoblue.
Lend me a tenner!
I understand what your saying, hell of a choice… Canon might be coming up with the products but their web site is the worst I have found when trying to get usfull information like a manual (or drivers)to read in an efort to understand the product before purchase, where as Nikon and Fuji sites are excellent and I hear there after sales service is just as good.
