I felt like if I wanted to do videos then I wouldn't get a DSLR I'd get an actually HD Video Camera.

You'd be surprised tho

Straight photos Nikon

Ive had my camera(Nikon D90) since last October and Ive only used the video on it maybe 3 times just to see what it looked like.

Not true breh. The new Nikon 800 apparently has movie quality HD video.

Oh I know the Nikon's do really good Video's Just seems that Canon DSLR's put more emphasis on the video features of their camera.

And I have yet to meet anybody that says they shoot video with their Nikon on a daily basis.

When I was at SXSW this yr it seemed like everybody was shooting video with a Canon.

ok I know nothing about photography but I want to ask something. I like looking at the sky at night and seeing all the stars and the moon and all of the moon's details (the craters, color, size). What is the cheapest camera I can get that can capture the details that my eyes are seeing?

You telling us that isnt going to help narrow down a camera.
We need to know what your willing to spend.
Your also gonna need a tripod as well cause if you wanna capture the sky a flash is gonna do you no good. Youll have to shoot with a very low iso and use a very long shutter speed as well.

You might even need a telephoto lens which will most likely cost 2 to 3 times more than the camera as well(If your trying to capture details of the moon).

So tell us what is your budget?

This is a very expensive hobby friend

Fukk I always kind of wanted to delve into photography and shooting small skits or something but I didn't know where to start. Any starters guide? What's the price range for these cameras? I could see me doing alot of sh1t with these.

I didn't check my craigslist. I'm in the NJ, East Orange but anywhere in Essex County should be good for craiglist. I think I'll just scour the internet for a good dslr camera and take it from there.
