Digital SLR cameras
Posted by: Two-Sheds on 02 September 2005
I get the impression from some of pictures posted on here from time to time and some previous discussions some of you are into photography.
I lost interest as a kid, I just had a normal compact 35mm camera and in the end was dissapointed with the cost and quality of shots. Recently I bought a compact digital camera (Canon powershot S60). I'm rather enjoying using it, snapping away loads of photos and then later picking the decent ones and deleting the rest.
I have been a bit dissapointed at the limited features of this (and compact cameras in general) and so I was thinking of trying a digital SLR.
So any hints and tips for a total beginner, in terms of what models/makes to get for, essential features. Being a starter I'm probably going to start somewhere near the entry level for this sort of thing, but I would like to be able to upgrade (keep the lenses and upgrade the camera if I become obsessed).
Also any general tips on shooting technique, any good online references or books for this sort of thing.
