Hi, I've never edited photos and have always tended to try and get them right on camera and then use the Jpeg. I know it's primitive but have found the raw side of things so daunting. Is there free software i can use to get started? Files are canon so .CR2 files. Where would I start please...

Thanks - that’s helped a lot will see if I can have a play with a 1.4x or keep an eye out for a 100-400 if funds permit at some point.

Thanks yes I know. Losing 2 stops will make my f4 an f8. Does anyone know if that will still autofocus on a 1300d? I had heard that cropped sensor cameras cannot autofocus at f8 or higher

Hi, would this be possible? I have an eos1300d but am unable to find whether autofocus will work at an effective f8. Would anyone be able to tell me please?

Thanks for all the suggestions. Have decided to stick with the D90 for a bit.

Chatted more about it. The intimidation part is if she pics up the camera to use it and I have say changed the iso and the white balance when using it previously. She's quite happy shooting with it in aperture or shutter priority etc and does not need portrait or any other scene mode for...

Thanks yes will need to look at a few. Might have to look at a 2nd body rather. New wife is not an option [emoji23]

Funnily enough was just looking at the d7200. Some of my lenses (50mm and 70-300) are not af-s so would also work on the D7200. Will have a look at that too.

Haha yes this is true. We are going to try a few cameras at the weekend. I always get tasked with the initial research. :)

Yes it's the main DSLR we are looking at replacing. Also have a Fuji X10, and a little Panasonic for handbag duty. But thinking about it, maybe a more modern but simpler Nikon dslr would do the trick. If I buy bod only, I can keep one set up with the 18-200 and one set up with the 35mm or...

Might look at picking up a D3200 or 3300 bidy and see how we (she) get(s) on with that.

Anyone know what the modern day equivalent to the canon eos 300d would be?

Interested to know what that is. I have about 5 near perfect bags!

Intimidated using it. She's never really bonded with Nikon. Think the D200 was a bit too much of a jump and quite heavy so she stopped using it. But yes you both have a point about going for a more basic nikon

I'd like to move back to canon. I like your signature. There is no perfect bag :)
