I just got my first point-and-shoot camera about a year ago, and I've enjoyed taking photos with it, but I never became a very serious photographer. In other words, for my purposes, the point-and-shoot was totally adequate.<BR/><BR/>Nevertheless, I found myself daydreaming about upgrading to a Digital SLR, and having a lens that could zoom more than the 3X on my point-and-shoot, and having a few more megapixels, and...<BR/><BR/>Long story short: When I was walking my dog yesterday, I happened to walk by a camera store, and I went in to "browse" for a minute. You can predict what happened next: I walked out with a Nikon D60 and two lenses, none of which I can really afford. Now I have to teach myself something about aperture and shutter speed and ISO and F-stop in order to justify my irrational impulse buy!<BR/><BR/>At least you had the good excuse of a broken camera.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
