For the information of All Hands: Anyone looking to buy a late Christmas present for themselves or someone else in the form of photography gear, I may have some helpful info for you.
I just spent about 6 months researching cameras, lenses, flashes, you-name-it to take me from film to digitial. In doing so I came across some excellent sites which allow you to do a side-by-side comparison of various brands/models and see the similarities/differences according to each of the various specs. There were also sites that provided indepth reviews on same. I also looked at a half dozen to maybe a dozen different sites to purchase from.
Even though I still wound up spending over three grand for everything, I could have easily spent another $1500-2000 for the same stuff if I hadn\'t taken the time to research everything like I did. So I\'m offering to pass on what I learned to anyone who might be in need of such info. If interested, email me as I may not see your request on here.
Btw, now that I have my new camera, I plan to start a photo album consisting of a weekly pic for male and female from Day Old thru 1-year of age. I\'ll try to ID them by feather-sexing them but since I won\'t be able to distinguish males from females with any certainty because I only breed the WBS, I\'ll just have to ID the males from females as soon as I can.
I also plan to build a new website where I\'ll put these photos so all can see them when they have a question about what their bird should look like at a given age. I\'d be happy to given them to the ABC if they\'d like to post them on the website somewhere.
God Bless,
