Initial investment for me was around AUD 1k, 40D + 17-70mm lens

Currently have spent over 10k on photography gear in a span of less than 1yr...wtf hahaha

Next purchase...probs gonna be 17-55mm 2.8 IS for the 40D...another 1.2k down the drain...

Photography is such a $$$ sink

[☆원이☆]

same with me..

i have purchased acouple of nikon bodies
some of my nikkor glasses are 2-4k of grand each...
and im almost there collecting all the nikkor mf lenses..
i had to go to japan to get all the brand new ones or mint ext


and recently purchased sony a900 with all the cz lenses for landscape and some portrait

soon thinking of upgrading my canon gear with the 50mm f1.0 and the 85mm f1.2
and a new body is would help too

once i get my licence back i wont be spending much time on photography though

[tweeti.]

Rich guy here.

How do you find the A900? Worth the upgrade?
I'm going to mug you for your Zeiss telephoto lens and 85mm.

[☆원이☆]

^ idk i havent used an a700 much..

the only reason i got the a900 is for my freelance jobs which i need the 24mp and the full frame..

using ziess lenses with the a700 isnt so love ..

it may be a great upgrade for you..

Why wouldn't the zeiss lens with the a700 be love?
o__o confused.

Sony released new sensors, so I hope they upgrade their full frame as well. Waiting waiting..

I think my dad wasted around $900 or $1000 for our 10.1mpx canon rebel.
That we take about 5 pictures with per year.

WHAT A WASTE. We should have gotten the super mega sexy red sony cybershot I wanted =____=
WOULD HAVE AT LEAST BEEN PUT IN USE!! *screaming in my head*
-mumble complain complain whine-

plumerias should go wild with the camera and have some fun with it!

That's why sometimes used camera isn't bad. You lower the initial cost so you can do more later. Of course if you get a super deal, my brother's friend got a XSi on clearance for like $330 then by all means get it. I think my total is...
$400 > XT + 50 f1.8
$130 > 18-55is
$230 > 28-135is
~$100 > 2gb + 4gb + 4gb + 4gb + 8gb = 22gb compact flash
*__*

Mine was:

Nikon D80 second owner - $550 CAD last summer

I had a Nikkor 18-200mm VR, D40 and its kits lens but I sold them back out for the same price I got them for so it evens out.

Might buy a better zoom lens in the future

[agnes.]

spent around $180 for the canon 450d with kit lens.
my mom paid the other $600. xD
then around $100 for a 50mm f/1.8. so yeah, i haven't spent that much yet.

i'm currently saving up for a 430ex II, and after that i'm buying a telephoto and wide-angle.
and that's all i'm ever gonna spend for gear. xD
