[QUOTE="TheGDog, post: 1232183, member: 80289"] [b]Budget Film Cam that takes great action shots![/b] For what it's worth.... I bought a Canon EOS Rebel Ti in '03 because I was going on a vacation to Egypt and was gonna see the pyramids as part of that tour. It came with a 28-90mm QuantArray lense.. and I bought a 100-300mm QuantArray lense for it too since I knew I'd want to take it to SuperCross events and to off-road trips to capture jumps with it. This thing is soooo easy to take great action shots with. For a jump... I click the lense over to Auto-Focus.... point at the crest of the jump... half-press the shutter release.. the auto-focus stuff does it's thing... then take it off of AF and just wait for the rider to come by. While waiting... I have both eyes open... the one not looking in the lense and the one looking in the lense. Big thing to remember that greatly influences the shot is how you are holding the camera. And how easy you press the button cause when you're all zoomed-out to the max playing "Mr Myopic Man" from the nose-bleed bleachers... any shaky movement is very magnified. But from those very-same noseblead bleachers.. I'm taken some shots I was quite impressed with. Hope that helps in your decision process. This cam does allow you to manually set all the various setting as you desire and see fit.. if you're so inclined to experiment with hand-setting all the parameters. But.... for the most part... the only thing I'll dork around with is manual focusing to ensure the subject *I* want the focus to be on is getting the focus. As the Auto-focus features tend to just pick the biggest object in the line of site and that's not necessarily the one you'd like in focus. So anyhoo.. unless you're having visions of your work being shown in magazines, you would be quite pleased with this very reasonably prized gem. And if ya want digital photos.. just have the prints made to CD by the lab. They're sittin' there using a $250K machine to do the scanning of the negatives... and thus much higher tech that most Digital pro cams are gonna give ya anyway. [/QUOTE]
