Testing the new camera

[Chase]

Well guys, I haven't posted pictures in a while, and I got a new camera, and decided today would be a good day for Colt's debut. Hope ya'll enjoy. And, Merry Christmas!!!

 

[Miss Lily]

WoW! He's a gorgeous boy! How old is he?

 

[Chase]

About a year.

 

[Miss Lily]

He's got great colourings and markings! What a handsome fella!

 

[Chase]

I'll be sure to tell him

 

[summoner12]

what kind of camera

 

[Chase]

Canon XS with 18-55 IS Lens.

 

[summoner12]

IS on a 18-55?

Edit... you are right they do make it with the IS...

I was watching a vid that was talking about how the 18-55 doesn't have the IS... so... it must have been out of date.

Ya. I'm happy with how the pictures turned out for a 18-55.

 

[summoner12]

is this the 18-55 or 17-55 IS f/2.8? If it is the 17-55 f/2.8 you got a pretty good lens

18-55 IS. I think it is still a pretty decent lens.

yeah it gets good reviews from my reading. The 17-55 IS is close to $1000.... It doesn't have some of the issues that the 18-55 or 18-85 have... thats is why I was asking I guess there is a big jump in quality and as you can see, price

I've been spending the weekend looking at craigslist and eBay for lenses and doing reading on each lens I see. Just trying to get an idea on what is worth the money

Are you looking only at Canon Lenses?

 

[summoner12]

Are you looking only at Canon Lenses?

Yes, this is the 17-55mm IS F2.8 that I am talking about costing about $1000. It has an apiture of 2.8 through the entire zoom range. Where as the other two, yours and the 17-85mm change:

• 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS $90-150
• 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS $375-450
• 17-55mm f/2.8 IS in the $900-1000 range

I did make the mistake above of calling the 17-85mm an 18-85mm my bad

 

[Chase]

I mean't the lenses you were looking at on Ebay and Craigslist.

 

[summoner12]

I mean't the lenses you were looking at on Ebay and Craigslist.

yup, lots of canon stuff on craigslist and eBay

 

[Chase]

yup, lots of canon stuff on craigslist and eBay

Have you looked at Tamron?

 

[summoner12]

Have you looked at Tamron?

i have not

 

[Chase]

i have not

I've heard they have decent lenses. Just some are cheap, and some are the good ones, just have to read reviews.

 

[summoner12]

I haven't really looked, I guess I should.
