Taking the plunge?

2003-06-16 by Tim Timmermans

Well after holding out, partly because of money, I'm considering 
jumping into the digital camera realm. I still have budget 
considerations and since my current set up is a Canon EOS 1N with 
some good lenses it makes sense to look at the Canons. Used D60's and 
new D10's are not that far off in price so I'm focusing on the D10's 
which I see for around $1400 on ebay.

Anybody have one of these and more importantly what accessories are 
absolutely mandatory if you're shooting digital. How many memory 
cards would you need and how many images will fit on a card if you're 
shooting at maximum quality. What brands and sizes would you 
recommend?

I ask because Burning Man is coming up again soon and I'd like to 
bring a digi out there this year. I'll bring a laptop too so I can 
download a couple times a day but I'm wondering how many quality 
images can you get on a single card. I suppose one of the advantages 
of digital is you can edit on the fly and if the image sucks, just 
delete it.

Is everyone here who switched from film to digi happy with results. 
How many of you still use the film camera along with the digi?

Also where would you suggest purchasing a D10 (other than ebay) and 
the needed accessories? 

Anybody got some hot tips on that?

thanks, Tim
