Hey all,

I'd love to get into some small time photography and start up a small blog of random HQ photos etc.

Now I don't really have the first clue about photography or what camera would be good to start with.

Basically I would be looking for something between $400-$800. A digital camera that would have adjustable shutter speeds, focal lengths etc etc. A camera that can take still shots at a very high resolution.

If anyone has any ideas or experience or can offer me any advice, it would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Jace.

Even if you're not going to get a D-SLR camera, then the tutorials at Canon's website can be very helpful in teaching you about what all the photographic terms are, and how they relate to each other.

And if you've got any experience with Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements), then a camera that takes shots in RAW format is awesome!

DSLR is the way to go, as someone else said if you can get your hands on a Canon 350D or even a 450D, you can expand your setup overtime with new lenses and swap out the body when you have more $$$

As a reference, a Canon 500D is about $1200-$1400 with the twin IS kit form memory (which is the newer version than that 450D)

trust me, the best option would be to increase your price range :P

the reason i say that is when photography first interested me i bought a Olympus sp570UZ camera for 600bucks, and got addicted to taking photos like most ppl do lol and immediately wanted bigger and better things

my advice would to be to skip the "practice" camera and go for an entry level dslr

ive got a canon 450d dslr with basic 18-55mm lens (900bucks)

and an additional 50mm 1.8lens (130bucks)

with two more lenses on the way

a 70-300mm landscape lens and a 100mm macro l lens..$$$$ tho

in conclusion, put aside some extra money for a camera that u wont upgrade in a years time. get a dslr.the lens range and aperture/shutter/iso combinations = an excellent learning curve and excellent photos.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
