I wish they were more available, but everything you see there is either kit bashed or 50 years old and available only over ebay.

You must have very tiny feet.

if the avatar is any indication, I'd say that looks to be the case.

think that guy might be wondering what that big thing sticking down under the engine is, resting on the ground on that braided copper pad.

Really just after simple shoot to screen. I had it originally with my EOS10D but didn't have a laptop at the time. I've realised lately just how useful a function it really is. But age of the camera (10 years now) means that it's no longer supported with software updates.

The effect of a tilt shift bellows lens can be reproduced quite well by post processing. Since it became popular there are quite a lot of different plugins for Photoshop and the like that do a pretty good job.

I have no idea where I'd start if I was looking for a new camera. Since Canon changed their lens mounts I'd have to start from scratch again. So, I'm not sure I'd retain my Canon loyalty (I used to be a Minolta fan in the days of film).

I do have a cheap Nikon instamatic that I keep on my workbench for WIP pics rather than using my phone. So Nikon is probably a good place to start.

What do you think of the Nikon D3100?
