16 Years on ExPo. Whoa!!
Subject says it all.. For last few years been using only point and shoot digitals. Some of which (especially the Canons) have been fairly decent. That said, finally looking for a good photography quality digital, something with separate body and lens, something good and tough. Something that will maybe capture the essense of where I was!
I do not mind used if it will hold up. Trying to do it fairly cheaply (maybe the initial body and lens for $500 to start) or something like that.. We'll say for discussion purposes, no more than $1000 total if new.. Without doing all the reviews yet, etc, what would you guys buy or recommend? We have a lot of good photography stores around here, and people buy/selling/trading locally as well on some of the local web sites... I actually got my great point and shoot Canon used off one of these sites...
Also, I have a ton of compact flash cards and I know they at least were professional grade digital photography a few years ago... So I might prefer compact flash.
Also, second question. Though digital is different, I imagine apature, light settings etc are all fairly similar to film, correct? Can digital be a whole lot different RE light settings versus regular old film?
