| I still didn't build a system yet, and as I am planning to start building one now, I have to know which company has the best tools (ie, cameras and lenses etc...) for this type of photography that might as well include HDRin as well. You know it's a long commtiment usually when you choose one of these brands. |

| You have chosen two excellent cameras here and either will take outstanding pictures for you of the landscape type photography you are describing.You seem to be asking an opinion here and of course I will be happy to give you mine.I am working professional photographer and have owned a commercial studio for over 40 years. In my business I have chosen to use the Canon system cameras for several reasons, and I am quite partial to them.Canon makes a 10 to 22 mm lens, and although I use mostly Canon 5D cameras in my business, I also keep a Canon 40 D just so I can use this particular lens for the landscape type pictures you are describing. The Canon 10 and 22 mm lens notonly is great fun to use because of its extreme wide angle and interesting perspective capabilities, but it is also the best wide angle lens I have ever had the privilege of using. Its results are extremely crisp, contrasty, and sharp, and it has very high resolution. I have never used a better wide-angle lens!As far as I know, Nikon has nothing available that will compare in quality and resolution to this particular lens! If you do go this route, you will probably never regret it!If you would like to see a few examples of pictures taken with this lens, the last three pictures in my photo album in this group (d5canon Photo Album) from Las Vegas and from the Mojave Desert, were taken with this lens.Hope this answers helps in making whatever decision you will make. |

| Well the D300 has two shooting modes with LCD preview so you see what your shot looks like before shooting...almost like editing before taking the image..and it's a 920,000 pixel display. and for landscapes they have a 12-24mm lens but ratings comments on Amazon.co recommend the Tokina 12-24 for about 1/2 the price.. Nikon also has a 10.5 fish eye lens..with CaptureNX you can remove the fish eye effect if you wish..They have an18-200 VR lens for between 620 and 680 on Amazon But go and physically compare the 2 side by side and buy the one that feels best in your hand..I've had Nikons since the N8008s was introduced.. also the D80 uses the same batteries and is a great second camera. |

Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
