av98m SG Just under 5 grand? Or he can try Kopi's camera which will be even more expensive. But seriously, what will he be doing with the camera?
elindra SG Oh photography has all along been his hobby but he has stopped indulging in it for some time but he wants to pick it up again It's either a new PC for me or a new camera I want new PC
av98m SG Well if he's into insect porn he is welcome to test-drive my gear. But if he 's into landscapes and stuff sorry, I don't own a wide angle lense.
elindra SG S$4,999.99 is under 5 grand too Assuming it is something like yours, what would it cost? Gee, I think i'll work hard at talking him into buying a normal digital camera
Fatum SG well ... you can do the standard thing wifeys do to keep their hubs inline and with hold marital access rights until he gives up .....
the Bear SG actually, i'd recommend a D2x with the works... what does he want to take? insect porn like av or long range shots? the lens has to be VERY fast for the D2x.. and he'll need a flash booster too... to power the flash.. all in all, about.. say.. $12,000
elindra SG Alas, I'm not that evil and I don't control his finances like how alot of women do. Maybe stupid on my side. Maybe I'll just flash him a neurotic pink and hope to weaken his will $12,000 !!!!! NO WAY WILL I ALLOW A PURCHASE LIKE THAT Especially if it is a hobby and not a job. If it's something like 2k I can still accept it....3k is pushing it and 4k will get a from me!! 12k on a camera for a hobby is like legal grounds for divorce!!!
the Bear SG muahahahaha okay.. so no dSLRs then.. or just the workhorse, D70 or D200... both are pretty good all kinds of lenses and booster, D200 will set you back.. maybe $6k to $7k D70 is cheaper.. it's not as fast so no need for boosters.. maybe $4k the other thing would be to go for the nikon 8800 or the sony top-of-the-range one.. they're good too
the Bear SG okay okay.. here's one.. Sony DSC-R1 click here => It's a Sony retail = $1,699... i think can get cheaper i go look for the Nikon one..
the Bear SG guess what? the D2Xs is out! anyway, the N8800 click here => Nikon! retail about 1 1/2 years ago was $1,788 the guys from Ikea just called... back later
