Hey yall. Sorry for the teaser title, but Ive been thinking about investing some money into a new camera. After seeing a bunch of these rolling photos im in love. Ive done as much searching as I can and have found that "canon powershot - A series" cameras can do them okay. Ive read about slowing down the shutter speed and TV mode but what Im wondering from you SLers is to know what cameras you use, where and how much you got it, and a sample of the beauty that your camera can capture. Im willing to put a little money toward it but not wanting to spend over 500$ because ill need a tripod as welll. Please let me know what you're working with!

get an slr camera, its like 500-600 plus range.. d40x with lens kit will be a good and cheaper choice, you really dont need tripod.. i mean tripods can wait but point and shoot is nowhere near the simpliest DSLR

Whats a d40x? who makes it?

andino

^^ foo shoo! its more about the lens too

andino

I took the rolling shots on the D80 with the 18-55 f3.5 that comes with the d40x kit lol. I didn't have my new lenses in yet. I did the macro shooting with my 35-70 f2.8 though lol

none of this makes sense but i want to learn!

Farcus001

is it possible to get this kind of picture quality with digital cameras?

andino

^^ haha yah it took a while to learn all the dialect and stuff. I never took a class though but I'm thinking about joining one to improve more.

edit: the picture above is achievable with digital cameras. just takes practice

first step is to get the camera and play with it.. you'll learn faster when you're having fun
