Hello...

[Austriana]

Just thought I'd say hi.

I'm a beginner photographer, and found this forum when searching for information about digital cameras.
My senior year of highschool I took a photography class, but I have forgotten most of what I know since it was seven years ago.
I still own my Minolta maxxum stsi, but I rarely use it. Film & developing cost lots of money! If I had room for my own darkroom, I'd use it more, but unfortunately that's not the case. Lately I've been using my point&shoot Sony Cybershot...but I really hate how restricted its use is. So, beginning today, I decided I'm going to shop around for a much nicer digital camera...so I may be frequenting these boards (first to figure out what I want, then to relearn how to use a camera properly!)

So...yeah...nice to meet ya.
