Never had an SLR, only just starting to understand all the f-stop and aperture/depth-of-field stuff and lens speed and ISO and all that jargon. My hubby did a LOT of reading before we bought anything so he understands much much more than me and keeps explaining things.
But yesterday we bought each other our joint wedding anniversary present. A Cannon EOS 60D along with an f/2.8
L 100mm macro lens (hubby says the L means it's a good one
) and an f/2.8 EFS 17mm-55mm lens. The macro was mainly for me and the other one was for hubby to use out and about.
Anyway I'm loving it already. I'm already favouring the fully manual modes for everything. And late last night I discovered that it can be controlled from my computer. I can view the shot immediately on the computer screen and tweak the settings if anything could do with it and fire again. No need for remote trigger release for taking shots at home as the computer can do that.
Some of last night's shots were not at all bad in my amateur opinion (certainly better than my old powershot compact could do) so I'll be posting some of them soon.
