| I am just starting to look into digital cameras.
|
| My film SLR is a Contax so there is no real upgrade path for me. I
figure
| I will need all new lenses. (Most of my lenses were ya****ca with a
couple
| zeiss)
|
| I figure I will save for a while and pick up a camera in the fall.
| Sony sounds like they are going to have an interesting camera soon; It
| will be even more interesting if it is in the Canon 5D price range ...
we
| will see what happens.
|
| I wanted a 5D, but given that the a700 seems to be sealed up better for
| dust and elements than the current 5D and the new FF Sony is supposed to
| be an impressive 24MP assuming it is in the same price range as the 5D I
| can see myself taking a chance with the Sony.
|
| I want full frame, because I like to shoot wide landscapes and don't
want
| to get a 14mm to get 20mm equivalents. Canon has a 14mm I want but it is
| 2 grand from BH so that is more of a dream lens. I would rather put the
| extra money into the body, get some less expensive lenses and get this
| lens if I win the lotto.
|
| I was originally thinking a Canon 5D but I am not married to a system as
| yet. When Sony's FF SLR comes out I might jump on it but I have heard
| that Sony cameras have quality issues and the same source thought Ziess
| lenses are not what they once were. I noticed that Zeiss makes a couple
| lenses for the Sony SLR.
|
| What do you think of Sony's lenses? any good?
|
| I like there older stuff and this really sounds like a dumb question,
but
| Zeiss newer lenses any good?
|
| How about the quality of the Sony cameras?
|
| I like the idea of IS lenses (Canon) rather than IS in the body (Sony)
| but that aside any thoughts on which you would go with given that there
| are no existing lenses to worry about?
|
| Thanks,
|
| Steve
Sony ? Good for audio, television and other home electronics. Not
cameras.
I suggest Canon or Nikon.
