Welcome!!

Mattb - Thanks so much for the info, it will defiantly help me make the right choice. And I agree, if my budget wasn't an issue, I should just start with new equipment all together. But I might get more bang for my buck by trying to get one more use from my old glass. Also, I'm not a big fan of auto focus, that's another reason I want to try the old glass again. AF ruins a lot of my current shots, very frustrating, despite my current camera claiming to have a manual focus.
I work as a regional airline pilot, so I shoot a lot through windows, which plays havoc with my AF (Canon G-11). When I'm trying to get the old 'money shot' of a 747 at the critical moment of touch down or rotation, the only thing I need is an finality lock and rapid fire of several shots. Instead, my camera does the old pause and dance between various focal lengths, then finally gets one shot off. If the shot happens to be luckily with timing, then the focus usually completely off, or visa-versa. The G-11 is a good point and shoot, and I like how it travels well, not taking up much room in my flight bag, but falls short on my action shots.
I’m hoping that by using my old glass, I can rapid fire several shots at the critical moment, with the lens simply at infinity, without the camera trying second guessing me.
Once again Matt, thanks for taking the time to provide me with a lot of info to help me make a good decision.

Hello

I am new to the forum and know absolutely nothing about cameras of photography and was hoping some of you could help me or tell me the right place to post where maybe someone could. My girlfriend loves photography and one day dreams of starting her own little business. I want to buy her a camera for christmas and was looking at a cannon t3i. The lady at best buy told me that this is a good beginner camera but my only problem is i dont want her to have to buy another one next year. Is this a good one for her, could she make a little extra money with it as she learns more and gets better until she gets a better one? Which one do you suggest???

Hello Everyone!

First, before I'll introduce myself, I would like to suggest or recommend that in your notification or the yellow background text message that indicates...

"Our records indicate that you have never posted to our site before! Why not make your first post today by saying hello to our community in our ViewFinder forum.

--- You should have put a link on it so that users won't get confused in looking for this introduction page or something. It took me around 10 to 15 mins just looking for this. Well anyway, that's me. I mean, I get a little confused sometimes.

Now...

Let me introduce myself. I'm an enthusiast in photography! More particularly in Portrait and Landscape photography and just recently I found this another new genre called Trick Photography. Trick Photography - as for me to define it, it's a combination of Portrait/Landscape photography with a wild imagination of your mind and I will not deny it, --- "Photoshop". It's editing the photos you captured with the thoughts that you have in mind in a much more creative way. But anyway, every photographer have their own preferences and ideas. ---> and I respect that. If you want to know more about trick photography and about me you can visit my website. (I don't think we are allowed to post a URL link here) --- you can just view my profile where I have indicated my website or -- you can search on Google - "Trick Photograhpy 101" or you may include my name to be sure that you are provided the URL link on the search result.

Thanks!
