A while back, I wrote a guide to the first truly professional and practical DSLR camera, the Nikon D1, titled: Photography: Going Pro for $200: Revisiting the Nikon D1. That volume proved popular and I hope it helped some photographers to get started with their first pro DSLRs. The aged D1 may not have the megapixels of modern cameras, and it certainly has some frustrating menu items, but it is a fun and inexpensive way to get your hands on a pro DSLR without spending a lot of money. This book recently was expanded for print and adds details about the Nikon D1x and D1H. The thing is that, if you are like me, once you've shot with a pro DSLR, it makes you hungry for more. But those current models - the Canon EOS 1Dx and Nikon D4s (the latest as of this writing) - still have huge price tags that can bring tears. The best thing is that, used, you can put your hands on a D2x for less than $400 and get one of the best lenses Nikon makes - the Nikon AF D 50mm f/1.8 - for another $100.

The designers at Nikon in 2004-05 were looking for a way to reach the semi-pro photographer. The semi-pro is someone who has another job but shoots photos Ñ often at weddings Ñ as a part-time job. TheyÕre sometimes called weekend warriors. They tend to be serious and dedicated, but they had no need for the pro digital single-lens reflex behemoths like the Canon EOS IDX Mark II or the Nikon D5. What they needed then and now is a DSLR camera that is built strong, is always reliable and can handle their workload. That led to the first true semi-pro camera from the company, the Nikon D200. The D200 may have been overshadowed by its successor, the Nikon D300, but itÕs still a great camera. A great camera that can be had relatively cheaply, and that makes it an even better camera.

The folks at Nikon produced the first practical digital single-lens reflex camera with the Nikon D1 in 1999, but Canon was hot on their heels, reaching out to the Enthusiast photography market first with the Canon EOS 30D. Always in direct competiion with Canon, Nikon pushed to get its first Enthusiast DSLR on the market by 2002, the Nikon D100. It may be old now, but it still is a viable choice for the frugal photographer starting out. In this volume of Shawn M. TomlinsonÍs Guide to Photography, Nikon D100 takes center stage, showing exactly how good this camera is and why it makes a great first DSLR.

The Nikon D70 was Nikon's third revolution just in the digital photography age. (Never mind the major one in 1959 with the Nikon F that changed professional film photography) The first was the Nikon D1 started pro digital photography, the end of mainstream film. The second was the Nikon D100, the first DSLR to reach the lofty heights of 6.1 megapixels. Then there was the D70. It looks and feels like a modern DSLR, and Nikon released it in 2002. It was, in its own way, as revolutionary as the D1 and the D100. I've taken some of my best photos with it. The thing is, there really is little negative to say about the Nikon D70/D70S. You can come up with many reasons to spend more money on a newer DSLR, but if you want a great camera for little money, the Nikon D70 or D70S is a good bet.

In some ways, the Nikon F5 is easier to use than the Canon EOS 1N, but it is not nearly as elegant.There's just something about the way the Canon EOS 1N feels in my hands when I'm shooting with it that makes me never want to put it down.In that way, it reminds me much more of the Nikon F4S than the Nikon F5Practically since I placed the order for the camera, it was inevitable that I would need to write about it.If you are seeking the perfect late-model film SLR camera, you need look no further than the second-to-last pro level Canon EOS 1N.Just load a roll of film, take the camera in your hands and start shooting.You, too, will never want to let it go.

I have been somewhat reluctant to write about the absolute best digital single-lens reflex camera I have ever used, the Nikon D800E. The reason is that I like to write about older cameras that have become cheaper to buy and use for the frugal photographer. Although some of the cameras I have written about were terribly expensive when first released, by now they are reasonably cheap. For example, IÍve written books about the Canon EOS 1DS/1DS Mark II, the Nikon D1 and the Nikon D2X. These all are pro DSLRs and as such were released at prices ranging from $6,000 to $8,000. By now, however, the most you will pay is around $400 for any of them. In a few years, the Nikon D800E, too, will be much cheaper and an obvious choice for the frugal photographer. No matter the price, the D800 and D800E are two of the best DSLRs ever made. Either will change you as a photographer in fantastic ways.

I discovered very quickly that the Pentax 645 was much easier to use than the Hasselblad 500c. I got more photos per roll, too, even though they were smaller than the 6-by-6cm of the 500c. The were/are 6-by-4.5cm, which is where the "645" comes from in the name.One thing I did notice was the clarity and sharpness of that prime lens. To my eyes, it was just as good if not a tiny bit better than the renowned Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm f/2.8 prime lens.I started shooting with the Pentax 645 a lot because unlike the 500c and the two Mamiyas, it isn't a pain to use. It acts a lot like a 35mm SLR or even a DSLR, much more so than my three other medium-format cameras.This book can help to get you started using the Pentax 645.

Film cameras - the bodies themselves - have little to do with image quality. Lenses are far more important to image quality than camera bodies. So, as long as your camera has accurate shutter speeds, aperture settings and metering, the brand you pick doesn't really have much of an effect upon the final image. So, then, it appears the model camera you choose is irrelevant. Well, no. The type of film SLR camera you choose is most important to you as the photographer in features and convenience. Comfort has a lot to do with how good you are as a photographer. What I mean by that is that, you choose a camera that feels comfortable in your hands and becomes an extension of your brain as a photographer. This makes it easier to capture the types of images you want.

Simply put, medium-format photography is quite a bit more complex than shooting with 35mm film SLRs or 35mm-style DSLRs. It takes a bit more skill - and experience - to handle medium-format cameras. Not only do you need to learn to think differently about how you shoot, but you also have a whole new type of equipment to learn. Medium-format cameras produce bigger images, which allows for more detail and greater enlargement. And because they, in general, were designed for professional photographers, the lenses tend to be of better quality that most 35mm lenses, which also adds to the detail in the images. In this book, we'll take a look at medium-format SLRs and TLRs, and we'll even touch upon some other types. We'll also consider a few lenses, although these largely are a matter of choice. And there are far fewer choices for medium-format cameras than for other types. Time to do some weight training and heft those medium-format cameras and lenses into position. Let's go.

ÒYouÕve never been here before?Ó Wanekia asked. ÒNo, Ó Chloe said. ÒYour father wonÕt fly. He never even told me about this place until he was delirious after that wound. IÕm glad he did.Ó ÒDo you think weÕll make it?Ó Wanekia asked, obviously scared. ÒDo you think theyÕll come after us?Ó ÒWe will make it, even if they do come after us, Wanekia, Ó Chloe said. ÒI donÕt think theyÕll pursue us all the way, anyway. ItÕs a long way to go.Ó ÒIs Father going to be alright?Ó Wanekia asked, looking back at Martin again. ÒYes, of course, Ó Chloe said, not sure of her words. ÒHeÕs been hurt worse before. The skinner is working.Ó ÒIt wonÕt even estimate how long, though, Ó Wanekia said. ÒItÕs done that before, too, Ó Chloe said. ÒHeÕll be fine. We just need to get him someplace safe.Ó ÒWe could have gone back to England, Ó Wanekia said. ÒWe couldnÕt, and you know it, Ó Chloe said. ÒThe way things are going, they could trace us through Time and then weÕd drag the Burnsides into this and theyÕd die. I wonÕt do that."
