New to the forum and somewhat new to photography. I've taken pictures for a long time, but most of it has been "point and shoot" stuff with a bit of advanced techniques. Now I want to get more serious in my old age.
I'm looking to get into something digital, but not really ready for DSLR, but not a "shirt pocket" camera either. I've done a little research and I have a few ideas what I want. I will be doing mostly shots of family, especially my 18 month old granddaughter along with nature shots. I'm big into fly fishing, hunting, and just being out in the country and woods. I'll have my "pocket" camera for the fish pics, but for everything else I want something that I can reach out and get good, crisp shots. I want to take some classes and learn more about the settings and how to use them.
Any advice on something for a NOOB like me? I've got a pretty low budget right now. But Santa is quizzing me for ideas.... :thumbsup:
