Good “Starter” Telephoto Zoom Lens for Photography Major? (Canon Rebel xti)?
I am looking into buying my son a telephoto zoom lens to go with his Rebel xti. For the most part I think he would like to be able to use it for zooming in on sporting events like car racing.
I would be looking for something moderately priced. I do not want the very cheapest if it just produces “junk” photos. On the other hand he is just starting out, so it does not need to be top of the line professional grade.
Is there a moderately priced lens out there with good resolution, that a person who is on his way to becoming a professional photographer would appreciate?
Photoace covered it – your son will appreciate having the IS feature in that type of photography.

Photography websites?
Does anyone know of a free website where I can upload image files that will allow me to set my own prices for the pictures? I recently have been shooting several events and I thought it would be easier if I could upload these pictures to a website that people could order prints from. However, I would still like to profit from these pictures and would like the option of setting my own prices. I know that there are numerous websites that allow users to order prints, but it’s important that I can set the price. It would be especially helpful if there was unlimited photo storage as each event is averaging around 100 frames, and there will be at least 4 events that I’ll need to post. I really hope that someone knows of a site like this! Thanks in advance for your help!
I use http://www.photoreflect.com/ they only charge commission on sold images and you can choose from a bunch of labs. There are tons of sites like this but most have other fees.

Buying a semi-pro DSLR camera, any suggestions?
I’m a young amateur photographer who’s finally got a job and will be able to afford a camera better than my old Sony Cybershot. I’m hoping to eventually pursue a side career in event photography and photojournalism. I guess what I’m looking for a “semi-professional” or starter digital SLR camera, but I have really no experience with brands or makes and I need some advice. My price range would be preferably under $500.
Also, I would like to buy used to keep costs down but I’m a little weary because I’ve been told that shutters wear out [or something to that effect] and that the cameras actually have a limited number of exposures.
Anybody have advice or a suggestion?
Thanks!
A DSLR camera is an investment but it can be well worth it. DSLR cameras have the larger sensor so you get a higher quality images. You can change lenses which can be valuable, by allowing to adjust to different needs. Here is what I recommend to people getting into a DSLR for the first time.
There are a number of good brands so don’t be sold on the idea one brand is better than another. I would keep your costs down. I would get a DSLR with a short zoom (like a 18-55mm) to start. No reason to spend more than $425 to $550. Either a 10MP or 12MP will do just fine.
Below, I listed some links, the first link listed below is to a web page that lists the 3 DSLR cameras I am recommending. This list will let you compare features and specs, also it has links to reviews of the cameras, the reviews include sample images from the cameras. Also I included some links to some dealers so that you can try and get the best price. Some dealers have some nice extras, free shipping is very common, and sometimes they are offering a free memory card and/or camera bag. Sometimes you have to click in the “add to cart” button to see the actual price.
Here are some models that I think are well worth researching:
Nikon D3000 10MP DSLR Digital Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens – $449
EOS Rebel XS (1000D) 10MP DSLR Digital Camera Kit w/18-55mm IS Lens – $499
Pentax K-x 12MP DSLR with 18-55mm Zoom (has HD Video also) – $550
Pick a price range, some features you know you want, and even consider which camera feels good in your hand as a factor. Plenty of great cameras, get one you like and start learning the principles of photography and you will be on your way to making some great images.
If you want to stay under $500 then go Nikon or Canon but, I think the Pentax could be of special interest, since it can do HD video and has excellent quality at higher ISO settings which can be useful in low light places and helping get the picture. These features, especially the HD video, on a Nikon or Canon will cost you $100 to $200 more.
If you have any questions and if you think I can be of help then please do contact me.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
