Thinking

As I was going through this thread, I saw most of the discussion related to gadgets and I just compared us with writers. Do they guys discuss which pen or laptop is best to write? Obviously no... then why we all are wasting our time on discussing which camera is better??

I know everyone want to have best cam, but that will make you a camera owner not a photographer. I think we need to discuss ideas, thought process behind the click, Insipration , concepts and everything and anything about photography and less about the gadgets. For that we can start by introducing ourselves as a photographer in this thread. I have make one sample format, which is as follow..

@Abhilash09 Nope I use Nikon, but they are not paying me for their advertizement, so I give right advice

@mahalgoldn save some more and buy Canon 550D ( 30K with lens )

@ghostrider2014 the most imp question is why you want to do MBA? You are about to complete MD, that itself is a big degree. Suppose you pass every exam with flying colors, the first question you will be asked is, why you want to change the field, after perusing it for last 10 years. First get prepared for this and then everything will get automatically clear for you.

@Abhilash09 buying it in 2-3 months!! At the top of the list since long time....

@rutabhatt you can go for 70-300 or 55-200, 70-300 comes in 2 variety. one is with ED coating which gives you nice sharpness, but lens costs you 28K.
another without ED coating is just 6K.

FYI: Best portrait lens in industry is 70-200 2.8....
