I've wanted the Samsung NX100 for a while

[YOUTUBE]ehXKTIy6q6A[/YOUTUBE]

Have been waiting for the price to come down. Still at about $500 for one with the iLense. Or $350 with a regular beginner lense.

So what do you guys think? I'm looking for a dslr that a noob can use. Any other suggestions? Thoughts on this one? I don't want another point-n-shoot but I'm not skilled enough to use a full dslr. And I've looked at the NX200, not really liking it.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
You can look into the Canon G12, or if you want to get crazy get one of the rebels with a kit lense.
[Off-topic] dexter93:
Totally agree. The g12 is a monster and the lower range slrs are good to get you in photography ;)

I've also found the Pentax Q as another choice. Not a purchase for today, but more doing homework on em while I save or ask as Christmas present. Thanks guys.
[Off-topic] xaccers:
Didn't have much choice, with having to change the date as we did due to another death in the family, my mate who's a professional photographer had a paying gig on the day already booked.

With wedding photography packages costing from £1500 and potentially ending up with photos worse than those taken by our guests (yes, I've seen the results people's hard earned cash has bought and not been impressed), we weren't about to waste that much money when the entire wedding, including honeymoon, managed to come in at under £2500!

At the end of the day, we've got enough decent photos, and there may be more on my BiL and uncle's cameras, it's just that actually knowing about cameras and having photographed weddings means I'm mentally face palming at the ignorance of some people behind the lens.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
Ah, that explains it then. And you have no idea how annoyed I am at people telling me how I'm a great photographer and I should be shooting weddings and making lots of cash. ***** please, I shoot mostly night photos, concerts and clubs. That is nothing like weddings. But it's impossible to explain to them. I am booked as an assistant for June 22nd, so I guess I will practice shooting weddings. If I like it I will assist for a few more and then think about going alone.

So I did a lil looking around last night till about 7 this morning. I settled on the Pentax Q. They had a price drop back in March to about $500. I'm really diggin that thing. Looked at the G12 and some others. I'm really liking the fun I think I would have with that one. My mom said she would pay half of it. Deal right there. It's small and easy that I could put in my camelbak and take everywhere. So that's the one I'm going to get. Plus it just looks freakin cool as hell.

[Off-topic] jaszek:
It means that the corners of the photo will be darker than the center. Sometimes you want to have that to improve your photos, but usually its a PITA. Here's an example I found on google.

It usually looks different on other lenses.

Hi: Bumping the thread.

I'm into photography like a year and couple of months. I have a Nikon D3100, with 18-55mm VR lens that came with the body, also a Tamron 70-300mm. Some filters, external flash and another accessories. I mostly shoot Volleyball games, and other sports. I'm also interested in Clouds/HDR and long exposure, in the process of studying an practicing.

@jaszek: I looked your pictures on Flickr, and like them a lot.

you serious about the camera choice?

Jazsek been giving me hell about it. I really dig that thing.

Price came down in America and Canada to $500 for single lens kit. Dam good deal if you ask me.

Every review of it was how they can't believe it takes such good pics with a tiny sensor. The only thing I loose with it is depth of field in shots. But it has a setting and controls for making up for that.

If I got something else it would be the Olympus EP3. It has bigger sensor, better focus control and more support.

Probably right. The EP3 starts at about 800. Not as compact and noob friendly.

The way I see it. I use this one for about a year or so, then get a used mark II. Then have a fun carry around good fun camera, and also have a good bulky lactic acid burning brick that takes great pics. Kinda my plan I was thinking.

Something that will take good pics, small, easy functions, and I can (re)learn on.

If I got a dslr right now I would get a noob model. It would be bigger than I want, and I would have a learning curve on it. I don't have a need right now to blow my pics up, and I'm not looking to make money off em.

The way I'm doing it, I get to have fun and make sure I want to pursue photography again. Not out alot of money. Then when I get the functions of pics down again. I can upgrade to a nice camera. Then I have a small compact good one and big beefy great one. Otherwise I have a mediocre dslr and then have to upgrade to a better one and then I have a beginner model that collects dust. Or I sell it and buy a small good one. I like the order I planned it.

And yes, I see good prices on the 5D Mark II's in a year.

It would be too expensive to fix (torn LCD cable [i think], and messed up sensor) Getting error when I try to take a photo and it corrupts my card.

I have two 116 spools here. All I would have to do is to respool 120 film (which is narrower) onto the 116 spool.

Also idk how I would develop it since I have no room in my bathroom to have all the chemicals stored and no one in the area develops 120 film. I also want to get a Bronica or Mamiya film MF to shoot.
