canon dslr camera with lens image
Jenna:))
Hello, I have a canon DSLR and I have the 18-135mm standard zoom lens. I love it, I've taken some great pictures with it. Thing is, I want to take pictures of wildlife and landscape. So do I need a new camera lens for those?
Answer
For wildlife, most definitely, Animals are notoriously skittish when it comes to people. You want to have access to at least the equivalent of a 400mm lens on a 35 mm camera (longer if you can afford it). You could probably get by with the 18mm focal length on your kit lens for landscapes. Though eventually you might want to get a better lens. (nothing wrong with your lens, but there are ALWAYS better lenses available!)
For landscapes, you might want to try panorama photos, where you take several photos in sequence but with each photo, the lens is moved a little before the shot is taken showing more and more of the landscape as the lens sweeps to the left or right in increments.
Then, if you are very consistent in exposure and focus, you can use special software called a stitching application, which will electronically 'cut and paste' the multiple photos into a single large photo.
An excellent free application for this purpose is called Hugin Photo Stitcher you can find it on Sourceforge here:http://hugin.sourceforge.net/
Good luck!

What zoom setting do I use on a Canon DSLR lens to equal 24x on a FujiFilm S3280 camera?

I own a Fujifilm Finepix S3280 24x zoom camera and just got a Canon Rebel t3i DSLR camera. What are equivalent DSLR lens settings for the zoom factor on the Fujifilm camera? I have a couple of additional lenses for the DSLR, but want to compare "apples to apples". Thanks.
Answer
Once you left the P&S arena, you have got to buy different lenses to cover similar focal lengths to your S3280
The zoom lens with the most range would be the 18-200 mm lens (11x) in P&S terms.
I can use four lenses on my dSLR to produce the most focal lengths usually needed when shooting assignments
* 14-24 mm
* 24-70 mm
* 70-200 mm
* 200-400 mm
In P&S terms, those lenses equal about 28x
If you visit this site, you will see what it costs to purchase those four lenses.

When you went from owning a P&S to a dSLR system, you certainly jumped into the deep end of the photographic pool
