Welcome to you all. Have been following your site for a week or so, Other than the crass political stuff seems like a good place to learn a lot. I am a geezer, got my first real camera, used, more than 40 years ago, Canon Pellix (no laughing). Learned how to use it by using it (non professional) and reading the Time Life Camera series of books, was really good explaining the concepts of how a picture is created and the relationship of aperture, speed, both lens and film. I saw earlier a question earlier about good, free Photo software. Years ago, I picked up a free disc (included with something else) of Adobe Photoshop 5.0 LE (limited edition). It's great for basic stuff, if you can find it somewhere. Now have a little Kodak 2mp, point and shoot that is handy. Thinking about going to a more big boy camera that has the functionality of the Pellix. Would any of the lens that I still have for the Pellix, 28, 50, 70-200, work on any Canon DSLR's understanding they wouldn't have all the functionality? Thanx for any help, you seem like a great, diverse group.
at ease in the rocker

Welcome to UHH. I'm here to learn from others as well. Just started shooting about 18 months ago.
Noticed your from the great state of NH, we have skied there for years, Canon, Gunstock, Medicaid Mountain aka Brettonwoods, Mt. Cranmore, Wildcat. Although we haven't skied the last couple of years we still make a long weekend trip to North Conway every January.

Welcome to UHH, Sorry I don't know enough to help you with the camera, lens questions but I would think someone here can answer that for you. You could put the question under the search tab also or other areas to get help with it.

Steveo52, Nice to hear from a fellow New Englander. As a kid after my first year of college I worked at a boat yard on Winnipesaukee and on the ski patrol at Gunstock. Local boy makes good, but the selective service took a look and said "this kid is having way too much fun" and invited me into the military (infantry). Some of the mountain nicknames are funny, we always knew Mt Snow as Mascara Mountain, for obvious reasons. Hope your learning well in your time on the site. Keep in touch, if you are so inclined I might let you "borrow" those Time-Life Photo series. Much of it was not necessary (in my mind, probably because I knew so little). but they gave a great explanation of the relationships that make up a good photo. That, and a wonderful piece of advice from a terrific photographer when asked by my Dad 50-60 years ago at a show "How do you always have such beautiful photos?" = I throw out the crummy ones.
