@ancient_mariner that's really good advice that I will try out later, just figuring out all the focus options too

I have the manual saved as a pdf so whenever I’m on my Mac it’s open ready to read. Already had a play with it though. And the results where shocking hence reading the manual for figure out what everything is

And my Camera body and a single lens for now arrived today courtesy of MPB. Its a Nikon D7000 and I got a Nikon 18-70mm lens just until I get to grips with what im doing then more lenses will be acquired. Now I guess its many hours playing and reading the manual figuring out what im even doing.

So update… I placed an order on MPB which should be arriving tomorow. I decided to get a better well used camera and just a single zoom lens to start with. And slowly add to it as I go Along

@TimHughes although not my question but in a similar situation, your advice is useful for me also so thank you

I’m completely lost on the thread now but thankyou to everyone who helped I really appreciate it

I guess nothing that YouTube, google and here can’t yrlp With when stuck

So this thread hopefully is coming to an end, after a night looking on MPB I have narrowed down to 4 bodies, Canon EOS 550D, Nikon D3300, Nikon D7000 and the Pentax K-50,

Thankyou. So looking on mpb it will be a case of the various cheap Nikon’s and canons as recommended by many people and I have questioned about and maybe a Pentax k50 which I might be able to squeeze in. So lots of reviews. Comparisons and YouTube will be in order

So update…. The k5 is a no go as I found it it had a issue with with mirror. Back to Mpb to look again.

I made a mistake and it’s a Pentax k5 not a k50 if that makes much of a difference

I signed up here to learn more about camera and photography and now im learning about the human body @Phil V, the good news is my camera body is down to 2 things compared to a list of about 30, one of which is the Nikon D3200 and the other is a Pentrax K-50 which a family member has one laying...

@Phil V So in a way a camera is like a eye, the DSLR is more like eyes wide open and a phone camera is like squinting and guessing what the rest is like?

Better as in the way like light and shadows seem to have better definition if that makes sense

Another question but unrelated but it’s in my head, why does a dslr take better photos than a phone camera with similar megapixels? If I was to guess it’s that the lens makes a huge difference and maybe the camera processing the image to make the file is done better than phones
