| I am not a photographer by any stretch of the imagination, but I do have new interest in pictures after seeing some of the ones posted on the boards. I was pleasantly surprised with a canon T1i for Christmas. I was wondering where this camera ranks in the camera world. I am seeing favorable reviews. For all you camera guru's out there. What do you think? |

Im no expert by any means however my wife likes taking pictures as much as I like reef tanks  I would say based on talking to her about cameras and lens etc. That the canon rebel t1i is a really good camera to start out the hobby with. Really from what she has told me the camera itself is important and you want one with a really good sensor in it but the secret for taking great pics is lighting/ flash and a really nice lens. Depending on what your style of photography will be that is where you will want to invest some cash. Keep in mind though taking good pics of fish and corals is different than most other things you take pics of. I have found using the lighting from the tank when the room is dark gives me the best results. |

| its a great camera! especially for beginners. Of course, it doesnt have the sensitivity, noise control, speed, or ruggedness of something like a 7d, but not all of us can afford a camera thats thousands of dollars. I have its older brother, the XSi and it works well enough from me. Dont skimp on lenses though. Put a crappy lens infront of any camera, and you'll get crappy pictures. Good thing is, if you ever upgrade that canon to another canon, you use the same lenses no matter what canon you buy (as long as it has AF). |
