Pro DSLR + Cheapo Lens vs "Cheapo" DSLR + Pro Lens - 08-31-2011, 09:38 AM


Never fails, no matter how many times you tell them they still don't listen. I guess posting one more video isn't going to make a difference.

At least the video is pretty hilarious!

It's the Nikon strap that is degrading the image quality of the 1D.

pro body and pro glass!!! :P

I think glass makes the bigger difference but the Body depicts what you need to shoot. Like the video said, you want to shoot sports the faster FPS are better however if you dont shoot fast moving subjects then I would say L glass and an XXD or nikon equivalent of both.

Nope. English accent. Kai must have been or have lived in the U.K.

I'm quite familiar with all the variations, but that is a strange one. More Aussie than English. Perhaps English with some Chinese?
