My main interests are landscape/scenery and the compacts I’ve used just don’t meet the grade. In my price range, does it make sense to buy a cheap DSLR like the EOS 1000D/Rebel XS with a better than kit lens or should I buy something like the Nikon 5000D with the standard 18-55 lens? Many thanks!

I have a canon XSi. I was wondering if i could somehow use my old Ricoh KR-30sp’s lens (a Rikenon P Zoom 28-100mm macro) on my canon. Is there a lens converter kit or something of the sort I can buy so i can use this lens on my canon? Thanks.

I currently have the nikon d80 with a nikon 18-200mm lens. I want to know which lens is best for macro photography, and then some good ones for portraits. I don’t really care for a telephoto lens too much at the moment.

They said that Nikon is the best brand for professional cameras.. i need to know specifically what model of nikon can do best for photography with affordable price.

I am fairly new to photography and am interested in buying a zoom lens. What are some suggestions for a good middle level zoom, that is affordable (I am thinking in the $500 – $600 range)? Must be compatible with a canon EOS dSLR.

I have been using point-and-shoot for a few years now and I think I’m ready for the DSLR.

Currently have the following 2 lenses for the Nikon d70;
Nikor AF 28-80 f3.5-5.6 Zoom and
Nikor AF 70-300 f4-5.6 Zoom
Is there one lens you would recommend as a must have that I do not already have?

What can you do with a DSLR that you cant do with a fully manual point and shoot? Not sure what is better.

Please explain thoroughly. I’m very confused. Thanks to those who are willing to help out!
So, which is much, much better, a professional camera or a DSLR?

I have a new Canon XTi coming to me in the mail with a 2 gig CF card. I’m really excited about it but I’m wondering how many images I will be able to fit on one 2 gig memory card. Trying to find out if I will need to buy additional memory card(s). I will be shooting at the highest possible resolution (with no image compression). I’m an experienced 35mm SLR photographer and am just now moving into my first DSLR. Thanks!
