Delay dilema

[Vianna Szabo]

Hi Chris,

I just spent a few hours on the net and on the forum learning about SLR cameras and now I want one. There are two musicians in the family and their need of the newest toy usually wins over my art wants but I think I have a good case for a new camera. For this Sunday I will load up my old 35 mm (wish I had auto focus) Minolta and the digital camera and hopefully get a good shot. I am also hoping the teething and drooling have ended.

I had a Canon G2 which didn't have much of a delay but did produce a moir

Hi Leslie,

I am going to purchase an SLR camera soon. As you say it is a sound business expense. I may have a series of judicial portraits coming up shortly and would like to have a decent camera before then. There is a new Cannon SLR out that is less than $1000.00 and has recieved very good reviews. Meanwhile, the dreaded drooling teething toddler photo shoot is tomorrow morning. I experimented on my daughter using the continuous shoot function and found it worked better outside than indoors. Hopefully if I get him in the right light and let the camera fire off continuously. I will eventually get a good reference.

I have only had two photosessions with my digital camera, but along with the camera I've brought along a laptop computer. After the shoot I load the pictures onto the computer and the client and I go over them. Really beats having to find a one-hour processing place near the location and then waiting for the film to be developed. We can see whether we like what we've got and then shoot a few more if we need to fill in or catch some other detail or if we find that none of the expressions are quite right. I bought my son's old iBook for that purpose and it makes going digital even nicer.
