Is it worth getting a teleconverter?
Non-scientific test of the Canon EF 2X II extender (teleconverter) on a Canon 60D with Canon 70-200mm f2.8 L IS lens. This lens is a Canon classic so in this test I have a quick look at what kind of image degradation we might experience if we add a teleconverter and are we gaining more image detail than without the extender.

You may have downloaded my free DSLR buyers Guide but you are still confused as to what DSLR to buy.
You really want to hold it in your hand and test out the ergonomics – better still – take a bunch of test photos to see if it’s the camera for you.
Your local camera shop, Best Buy or Costco may not have the DSLR you are interested in. If they do; you get to play with it in “tethered” mode – Not really a great way to test it out. When you are about to drop $800 to $1700, or more, on a new camera you really want to test it out.

A quick preview video looking at the Nikon T3i … ur .. I mean Nikon D5100. I talk about some of the main features of the D5100 compared to the Canon T3i (it’s main competitor) and the Canon 60D. Worth looking at if you are thinking about what DSLR to get and which DSLR would be the best for your money.
Nikon D5100 will be available in May 2011 and can be ordered on Amazon.
Nikon D5100 with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens
Note: D5100 comes with an 18-55mm kit lens for only $100 extra (not $150 to $200 mentioned in my video)
Prefer Canon
UPDATE: Later in 2011 – I took everyone’s responses below and Created EasyDSLR Digital Photography Course For Free Course Course Samples go to EasyDSLR.com
I had a great response to my survey for the upcoming DSLR course.
The main question was basically – What would you most like to learn in a DSLR course?
And here are the results with the most popular response first.
Most people want to view the course on a Desktop or Laptop computer (89.7%) and a fair bit of interest in viewing on an iPhone/iTouch (13.8%) and iPad (12.1%).
I thank all those who took the time to fill out the survey – it will definitely help in tailoring the content of the DSLR course to suit most peoples’ interest.
