Hey all,
I'm trying to get into digital photography after three years of working just with b/w film. Inasmuch as film photography has been satisfying, I want to move into the digital age.
So here's what the dealio is. I've been using a cheapish Canon A630 which as served well for just getting acquainted to what it would be like to digitally shoot. It allows me to manually set the f-stop and speeds, which trumps the pathetic "auto" setting.
Now I want to head off into the dSLR range to complement my Canon A-E1 film slr, but alas, it's such a stressful thing to look through and pretty expensive.
My budget is about $800 max, although, if I could get a decent dSLR for cheaper, I'd be thrilled.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
