Hi everyone, new guy here. My name is Travis. I'm 26 and have only been serious about photography for roughly 6 months, although i have always enjoyed taking photos. I live in Maine, USA. Don't know if my photos are any good but I have been trying my best to improve. Trying to memorize and put to use all the hints and tips i can possibly get. If anyone has any critique please feel free.

Welcome Samomao. My wife's mother was of Portuguese ancestry. I hope you will enjoy this group as much as I do!

Presenting myself to the group.

My name is Salomão, i'm 40
I live in Chamusca, Portugal.

Always enjoyed photography, but only on the past five years i've dedicated some time to it.
Last summer as 40th birthday gift, I bought a second hand Canon 40d and a few lenses, and commited to this passion.

Thanks all

Sal

Can someone let me know if the T1i is any good??

I have a 5D MkII and love it. Haven't tried the video capability as I'm not interested in video. Good price and very capable.

I'd go with the 5D MkII, the price is great for an amazing camera.

5D Mark II is a fantastic camera. Buy it. No problems. Great pictures.

Who is jonathan? I got an email apparently sent to all members of this discussion group seeking advice on the 5D II but there was no link except to this group.
The email was "hello canon user, is there anyone that has the 5d mark ii????? i got the money to buy it now.... i just want to see if people have any problems....should i save more for the 1d mark iv??????? im not a pro but like to be...... i love taking pictures inside..... well thanks for reading jonathan"
My answer is don't buy the 5D II and after you save your money for the 1D IV spend it on the 7D and use the THOUSANDS of dollars you save on lenses, speedlights, tripods, etc! The 7D is the most fabulous of all the canon "pro" cameras and not the least reason being it's built in flash which none of the "real" cameras have. Don't get me wrong -- I have the 5D II and I love it -- but mainly for super wide angle shots with the 16-35 zoom. For most other situations I find myself reaching for the 7D. About the only feature the 1D IV has that the 7D doesn't is the inflated price tag! Well, that is my opinion and of course now Canon will hate me! (See my album "Phil '10" for action shots taken by the 7D yesterday)
