Depends on budget, level of expertise, dslr or not .....

Well my family wants to buy a new camera, the budget is around 800$.

I've been studying Lightroom, long exposures, lightning and stuff.. So I really want a DLSR (been thinking of the T2i), but it doesn't really matter for my parents since they only want big zoom and reasonable quality.

I know I can buy a lens with big zoom for the DSLR but it costs a lot doesn't it? and plus its huge and not comfortable to carry around (and my parents only want something easy to use, easy to carry while they're on vacations ...)

What do I do? I really want a quality camera but my parents really want their damn zoom.

I kinda like Kazadoo .... But who is she?

She's a relatively old member here. Her user name used to be Zashko or something like that. She used to be much more active around here before you joined, especially in the general chat area. I guess it goes without saying, but she's very interesting and unique.

Thats crap ....

I shoot Nikon, so dont know my way around canon lenses.

Id maybe combine the T2 with an 18-200. Problem: it is 699 dollars. Also how much zoom and for what? I rarely go over 300.

Do yourself a favour and buy the nifty fifty. Learn with that. On a DSLR with GOOD glass .... Dont go any other way.

Amateur question, but who exactly are the lions I keep reading about and what sport do they play? :blush:

Lions are a combination of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland (made up of those countries' players) . They are a rugby team that go on tour (every four years) and have just beaten Australia, so, as an Englishman, I am quite chuffed.

That explains so much :lol:

Is this part of some competition or just a tour they make? Lebanon almost made it to the rugby world cup the last time. France just edged past us on goal difference <_< (not sure if they call it "goal difference" :lol: )

Just a tour every 4 years where they play test matches in a dedicated country (this year is Australia). It's not like a cup competition or anything, though.

Yea I really dont want to go for the cheap option.. I need quality.

But I might have no say in this since my parents are paying, and they want their damn zoom <_<

Ofc they do care about what I want but eventually it will come down to the zoom..

Thanks mate!
