Hi,
For a few years now I have been learning all I can about photography using my Canon Powershot Sx10is, which is really wonderful, with 20x zoom and 10 mega pixels. I now want to move up to DSLR photography, and I understand the general reasons why I should do so. But I have an extremely limited budget. Here's my question:
My friend has a 2 year-old D60 that she is willing to sell to me at 1/2 the price she paid, along with the book by Busch. She let me try it out for two weeks to decide if I want to buy it from her. The pictures I've taken so far are not as good as those I've taken with my powershot, and I'm assuming this is just because I do not yet know how to get the most out of an SLR. I also assume that if I'm able to purchase a better flash and a new prime lens the picture quality will improve beyond that which I'm able to achieve with the point-and-shoot. Are these safe assumptions? Am I really going "up" if I make this purchase?
Thanks!
