lol. lower pixels doesnt mean lower class of camera. wala sa pixels yan. people who like to show off usually mahilig sa matataas na pixel. wala yan sa pixel. nasa skills mo yan as a photographer kahit gano pa kaganda at high end camera mo. :)

March 26th, 2009 at 8:07 pm
30 pixels ang pinakamalinaw na camera na nakita ko, doble pa sa camera na yan ang resolution……haha

wow galing naman ng 500D, bakit nde pa ginawang 25mp, lamang pa rin ang sony alpha900 which has 24 megapixels. Canon is canon… pero tama si Hallo nasa mata ng photographer yan. ALso matters sa LENSE, mas mahal pa ang lense kesa body.
Kung $900 ang kit, mura na yan bili na kau Meron na bang 30 megapixels?? nde ko ata alam yun ah hehehe

awesome.. this really fits my taste.
March 28th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
mura na yan at 900$. sa europe malamang 900euro instead of dollar.
24mega alpha 900 is not comparable with this one because alpha 900 is a full frame camera. pang-profi na yun.

what does this “video” thing sa 500D matter? kung photographer ka, you do pictures. kung videographer ka naman, you do video. kung san ang passion mo, dun ka. i couldn’t care less sa “video” ng 500D. wala naman akong galit sa 500D nito, pero, sa mga photography enthusiasts, EOS 450D will do. sumpain ang kumontra sakin. hahaha.

@ guz gusin:

April 26th, 2009 at 7:03 pm

Some professional or well-known photographers will say na “a good portrait ay hindi sa camera, but sa pagkuha.” Bago lang ako sa world of photography and self thought lang lahat, but choosing a camera, I would go for Nikon.

am a pro mga bro, it depends on the photographer’s eye not on the camera, or how high the fixels are, what matters most is the lens that took the best shot, but of course with your skills.
