[VintageCam]

Terry, I have an halina 35mm.

I'm looking to purchase a canon, Nikon, Sony or something.
A decent camera

 

[VintageCam]

I'm not too worried about a Pro camera just yet.
Something I can use to take wildlife and scenery pictures with

A decent camera

any camera can be decent if used well!!

you could have the best bit of kit out there and still take the worst photos ever if your not familiar with using it....


have you got any samples of photos taken with your older camera???

 

[VintageCam]

Yeah. I'll upload some. I've recently just bought a negatives scanner. Makes life easier

I'm not too worried about a Pro camera just yet.

why worry??? if the pic comes out poor, snap again!!! thats the joy of the digi age...

have a look around and see what your comfy with/holding, read some reviews on facilities on the camera and decide which ones you might want/ not need, and then get a/some decent lenses that will do the job your after doing..... and practise!!

and you can see your image there and then too, so you can play with composition etc aswell.....
