ziad Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 taking a pic every 30 min for 5 hours would require a lot of coffee I should think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lepperfish Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 You can get a programmable remote switch that will take the shots whenever you tell it to, but i didnt use one for that photo, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViS Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 My camera has a time lapse function that you can set to take up to 99 photos at an interval of between 1 second and 24 hours apart. Yours should have something similar? Very dedicated shooting either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novafishy Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 What camera did you end up getting Andy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViS Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 The pentax K20D 14.6MP. Mainly because it's the first Pentax to use the CMOS sensor and the lenses available for it are amazing quality (and cheap!) Having the IS in body allows you to use any pentax lens ever made, and they've made some awesome lenses in their time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novafishy Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Nice one. good to have that IS in body. Can the pentax lenses put up a good fight along side Canon and Nikon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lepperfish Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 IS and VR or whatever else other companies like to call it, isn't all the same quality in my opinion even within the same manufacturers. I've owned 2 IS lenses from canon, the 17-85 IS and now I own the 70-200 2.8L IS.. Basically the IS in the 17-85 was rubbish, didn't even really notice it, whereas the the 70-200 2.8L IS image stablization is AMAZING. You can literally see the frame stablize!! Quite incredible really. So these companies that provide stablization from the body itself i'd like to see it in action. I somehow think it wouldn't be anywhere near the quality of a $3000 canon image stablization lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novafishy Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Lepper, what do you think of the 17-55 2.8 IS? worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lepperfish Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Lepper, what do you think of the 17-55 2.8 IS? worth it? I don't know man, What do you want to do with it? You going to be sticking to APS-C sized sensor bodies where only the EF-S lenses will work? Maybe the EF 24-70 f/2.8L might be better? For that kind of money ($1500) plus i'd definetley be looking at L series glass.. Or a cheaper option could be the EF-S 17-85 IS lens which can be had for around $600-$700.. Although I have heard that the 17-55 you mentioned is a decent lens, but I have no experience with it.. Maybe you could PM Lee Miller, he seems to be on the ball with lenses and comparisons..
