Hi all at MR,
I'm looking to purchase my very first Digital SLR camera, however I have no idea what sort of thing to look for and was wondering if you could maybe give me a few pointers and maybe things to look out for.
At the moment I'm using a Casio Exlim EX-V7, which I've had for about 10months which I love and feel takes fairly good photos, however all my pictures seem to be missing that edge and a little sense of sharpness in comparison to photo quality of some of the shots on here taken with SLR cameras.
I'm looking to take it photographing as a hobby as appose to just point and snapping when abroad etc etc. and possibly doing it slightly more professionally.
I already have a copy of Aperture and a few Adobe CS3 applications for editing (I am aware that editing wouldn't be a big priority as I would just be starting out and would be better trying to build on my technique etc etc).
So any particular suggestions on a camera and maybe a few lenses, I am looking to spend £800-1000 max.
All suggestions and tips are welcome,
Thanks,
Vel
