Ours is a Canon 600D. We originally had the 1000D with the twin lens kit, but the camera died so we got the 600D and just used the same lenses.

I have no idea when it comes to all the settings and all that stuff. I would love to learn how to use the thing properly one day, but I am a hands on learner so google isn't my friend! Probably end up doing a course, if I can find the time...  :blob6:

Probably the best books to start with are both from Bryan Peterson:

Understanding Shutter Speed
Understanding Exposure

If you read those books, understand them, and practice heaps, you will be well on your way to taking great shots.

We have had a range of Canon cameras over the years and as always we never really did get the most out of them due to our lack of understanding.

We now have a Sony A57 or 87 or something along those lines and we love it. We understand its probably not the quality of the Canon or Nikons but for us it is really easy to use. It has some great features that help dummys like us get nicer shots.
Of course it doesn't help with composition but it certainly has helped with the quality of our images in a wider variety of conditions.

Any thoughts on the Sony range Myst?

I have a Nikon 5100D with 18-55 and 70-200 zoom, and my oldest son (12) has a Canon EOS 600D with a 70-300 zoom but I'd like to get him an 18-55 or similar… gee, they're not cheap!
I wanted to get him a Nikon so we could share lenses but at the time of purchase we couldn't go past the value of the Canon package at the time.
We manage to get some good pics, but no spectacular pics yet. We share a tripod but I think I'll get a monopod for him for Christmas as it just works better for motor racing shots.
