How good is this camera? It's from 07 but does it stack up well against an iPhone or a camera of the 2010's?
it's the first camera I started with. I had it for about a year until I upgraded & went with the D5100, which is a great cheap cam. I'd go with that one instead & make sure you get the 50mm, the pics will come out amazing.

Cool, do you have any examples of pictures taken with D40 or D5100?

Nice one fam I might get the 5100.
All with the 5100
thanks, but make sure you get the 50mm, besides the first pic (shot with 55mm-200) all of those were shot with a 50

Do you have any before and after pic to show an example of?

If personally love to see it too. I think I take good pics, then I see other people’s pics. Not realizing, knowing or asking, how much time do you really put into editing? What’s the before and after look like?
Cause I personally run it in light room, auto tone, auto wb, export. If its an extremely good photo, or bad one, I’ll mess with the exposure, saturation, few colors, three times I’ve used a preset. Portraits I use a skin smoothing preset on a plugin. That’s about it
Now my homegirl is a pro. Like paid events, weddings, doesn’t have a second job type. She says she takes about 30 minutes a photo to edit. What the fukk can I even do with a photo for 30 mins? Is that what’s required to get on that paid level?
Any of yall ever used one of those Wacom tablets? I'm hoping to get the small one, that's going for about $70 right now, this weekend.
I've been interested in those as well.
yeah, since I'm trying to get my skin retouching better, I feel like I could use one. I didn't realize they were that cheap, I saw some super cheap no-name brands on amazon for like $30, but I wouldn't trust it and I can just pick up the Wacom tablet from bestbuy locally. But yeah, I guess whenever I looked them tablets up in the past I would always see the $200+ one listed first and I just stopped there.
