Here are our thoughts on Digital SLR Cameras. Some of the professionals that contribute to our website use a Nikon D700 camera or Canon 5D. You can start with an entry level camera until you understand it and it pays for itself through your photo shoots, and then move on to more expensive and advanced digital camera's like the pro's use.

I have been reading numerous articles that are extremely helpful. I was thinking of purchasing a Canon EOS rebel and would love your insite on my email. I am a mom of 2 so it has been hard to save back the money but I am wanting to be able to take nature and event photography (eg. birthday, play time, school function etc.) Thank you. I am currently using those cheap cameras from the D.G. store but was able to learn about proper lighting some what. Thanks again for all of your help.

Thank you sir. I am 40 years old and knew all the basic in h.s. and was very good at photography. Went off to college for social work and have lost the basics over the years. When we were expecting our first child 7 years ago I went out and purhased a canon eos 3 and stillhave no clue as how to use it! I have 3 girls now and am so so thankful for this site. I was ready to give up and go digital but now I am getting the basics back and hope my next few rolls are great! I still want to go digital but love film. Again, thank you so much for this site! I am really excited!

Brian, the hand technique is used more for older cameras or cameras that use a spot metering system. If your camera does all of the light measuring automatically using evaluative metering, you don’t have to worry about this hand measuring technique.

Let me see if I got this. By using your hand to give the camera info on the type of light setting you want, you have to press the shutter button halfway. What happens after that? If you go to re-compose your shot, do you now release the button, or do you keep it pressed halfway? My camera auto-focusses when I press halfway, which means that I would have to use manual focussing if I keep the button depressed, and if I don’t, then the camera automatically resets exposure and focus. Another thing, which would be better to select for this “trick”, spot, partial or evaluative metering? I apologize for troubling you. As for this site, it is surely a God-send, helping so many people. May you all be blessed for your kind work and patience with idiots like me!
