I’ve finally taken the plunge after debating for a few years now and got a DSRL camera. So I thought I’d better introduce myself….. As it more than likely that I will be asking very basic and/or silly questions, dearly hoping that female prerogative and the ‘A question isn’t silly if you don’t know the answer’ comes into play.
As you can see from my thread title, I live in a beautiful and diverse place, I say diverse as the Quantock hills are only 10 minutes away, and I drive across them to work, I have access to diverse beaches, sandy to rocky…. And with two dogs to accompany me well what more need I say…
But photography plays a large part in my main hobby, Genealogy there’s always a church, head stone, house, school, or a document hidden in a record office that needs photographing to build the picture of the family tree.. Alas you really start noticing the limitations of the point and shoot camera when you’re in the Record Office… And it’s this that’s probably was the last justification for entering the world of the DSRL….
I’ve ended up with a Canon EOS 1200D, I had actually decided on the Nikon D5200 that was until I actually went to buy the camera and had a good chat with the assistant, who went through all the pro’s and con’s of each… One of the deciding factors in the end for me, was I found the menu easier to use, and the layout of the controls better on the Canon than I did on the Nikon….
