I must say I like using it too, but it's too heavy and cumbersome for me. I like my little Olympus which will fit in my jeans back pocket!Brenda Scowcrofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08994814944224291458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367296273511467142.post-34648957928909429632009-05-11T18:41:00.000+01:002009-05-11T18:41:00.000+01:00Maryjane

You can learn the fine tunings later at your own pace but at least you can operate it until then. I suggest looking at refurbished cameras where you can get more bang for your buck. I bought a Fuji FinePix (a $900.00 value at the time) for less than $400. I had no clue about photography but forced myself to learn by using manual settings and actually used the instruction manual. You can view some of my pictures at http://rofoto.blogspot.com/ . I am far from being pro but sometimes I get lucky and get a great shot. Good luck on your search and enjoy your new toy!Maryjanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13427754617106772459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367296273511467142.post-61233649754374032009-05-09T21:10:00.000+01:002009-05-09T21:10:00.000+01:00Thanks Debbie, I am glad you like the photos.

To be honest I wouldn't have a clue! I am sure Jessops will help you out if you explain what you think you want! I think if things are too technical it takes all the fun out of using them. I think your photos are great anyway, but good luck with your new purchase! Debbie Nb Tickety BooDebbienoreply@blogger.com
