Thank you as well, I never would have thought about actually feeling the camera in my hands! Something as simple as that didn't even occur to me! Thank you all for your insights, I cannot wait to hit some stores now!
Thank you for the reply. I'm thinking $600-1,000 range. I tend to lean towards landscapes and portraits at the moment, but want to expand to any genre I can get into. Maybe a low to midrange Nikon or Cannon?
I've always had a camera around somewhere. But I've never had an actual "camera-camera", always a point-and-shoot. I want to get a DSLR, but I have no idea of what kind, where, how much, etc. Anyone want to enlighten a 40 year old newbie? Please? lol
