The Canon lenses are backwards compatible. I can't say anything about Nikon on that subject since I do not shoot with them and just don't know them. Canon vs Nikon.. You'll get a million different responses. Both are great cameras, but the way they function are different and the way they feel are different. try them both out and see what feels good in your hand. Canon is the only company that makes their own lenses and are a bit more pricey, but people will argue that they are way better quality when talking about the Pro lenses (L class Canon).

BE CAREFUL where you purchase your Canon camera. There are a lot of counterfeits out there. If purchasing on Amazon, make sure it is from a reputable shop. B&H is a great place out of New York. I would never purchase one on Ebay.. You can also check out CL..

There is a lot of good deals on there for cameras and lenses.

Edit.. Thanks Rob

I know I'm late but. . .

I own a Nikon. I have since 1973. All my lenses are backwards compatible except my fisheye lens. Also Nikon makes it own optical glass and lenses.

Dave-

Another great meeting. Capt. Obvious did a great presentation. He sparked an idea in my head.

Jake thanks again for allowing us to invade your home. The hombrew was excellent!

It was a pleasure meeting Billy & Denise Billimoria (Nise) our newest members.

Dave, RC GBs work differently... each individual submits their order themselves, so i don't need to know your order, only your subtotal for my tracking...

If you received a digital camera for Christmas or you would like a refresher in tank photography you don't want to miss this meeting. The Techniques can be used in all facets of photography. Also, I'm sure with some prodding we can get him to show us his new LED lighting (thanks to Timfish).

That depends what do you want the camera to do & how much do you have to spend. The more the camera can do usually means the higher the price.

I have a Reef Keeper II left over from our 58. This is old school meaning it's not networkable. However, this would make a great controller for seahorse tank or nano.

Asking $70.00. First come first served. Will not hold. Cash only.

PM if intested.

Come and get it!

All I can say is WOW!

Theresa, as always thanks for allowing us to invade your home. And Chuck, thanks for slaving over the grill to feed us hungry reefers. You guys are the hostess with the mostest!

I have to give props to all the staff that helped make this a fantastic event. I hadn't had that much fun in a long time. And to those who attended you are the best!

Keep reefing,

Dave-

What should I bring as far as snacks or drinks?

Whatever you want.
