I tink wat u need is a GND filter instead of ND...
I tried taking some from an aeroplane and it seemed to bright. How do you guys take sunrises? I'm aiming for half the sun above the horizon effect. Also, will it damage the sensor to aim right at the sun?

err, when u are composing the picture aiming at the sun, u will only damage your eyes as the mirror is not lifted up. :sweatsm:
u will probably only damage the sensor if u use bulb mode and expose the sensor for prolonged period to the sun. :bsmilie:
If it's too bright then lower down exposure (either manually or via exposure compensation). For selective darkening use GND. Cokin works nice, don't know what is bulky about a piece of plastic filter holder and a filter. Take your time, setup the cam on tripod. Then you have hands free to adjust the filter.

That's the price for not having the faintest idea about photography. Everybody else will just get the pictures they want .. more or less .. without any damage to the camera.
For me, the cheap cokins are my choice for GNDs though I rarely use them anymore due to my current obsession with HDR
Planning to get a simple ND filter for sunrise shots but can't decide which one would be better. ND2, ND4 or ND8? I'm thinking as the sun is not at its strongest maybe i can get away with an ND4 or even nd2?

no. not unless you do stupid things.Sun ray will damage DSLR sensor ?
Thanks. I thought about that but the screw in type has the graduation in the middle so i thought just a normal ND screw in type. I'm thinking COkin P-type filters a bit bulky for simple shot but maybe its worth it. Hmmmfff... got me thinking now.
