• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Hey everyone. I'm looking at buying a new camera for weather photography this year. I was wondering what everyone thought was the best camera for it all and why? and would you reccommend digital or film?
 
Kyle,

First of all, I moved this from Weather and Chasing to here cause you're asking about equipment.

Second of all, this is kind of a broad question... do you want Digital or film (each has their own advantages, so what would you be using it for)? I'm in the hunt myself and think I've narrowed it down, but with no experience with digital, I'm a bit at a loss for your Q. I've been using a Canon AE-1 for quite some time now, but that camera is probably older than I am. It's a great manual camera and the first SLR I've owned. I'm looking to upgrade into the newer age of SLRs, but the thought of sticking with my AE-1 has defanately crossed my mind!

In looking, though, I've been looking at the Canon Rebel series; both in film and digital. My film choice stands right now between the GII and the Ti in the Canon Rebel series... lenses I'm not an expert on, so you may want to look harder at those.

Also, I'd suggest you browse around the forums in the Equipment Section to help you out a bit. There are tons of threads started on various types of cameras, the differences, and everything else. I would strongly suggest you look through those and post questions to those threads if they're not immediately answered within the thread.
 
Yea, you're going to need to be a bit more specific.

In the meantime, give the other camera threads in the 'Chase Equipment" category a read. Much has already been discussed.
