Getting into photography

[blacknightteg]

work at best buy, new store on 124 in snellville, store 0776, yeah you are right about how most point and shoots will can do good scenery shots, only reason i suggested the slr thing with him wanting to do that is because he might want ot do some manual focusing on certain things and what not that slr's have a beter time doing then p&S. your right about the SD and CF thing as well, the ony reason i mentioned SD mostly is because most of the time in P&S's SD is the most common format of memory in cameras but in SLR alot of the time its CF althought some are starting to go SD

Cool, I might have to see if you can get me the hook up on a new tripod The one I am looking at is like $130 or so so I need some help

Yeah it seems to be that most P&S's run SD while the SLR's run CF although most Nikon and Canon's run CF even in the P&S's. The Nikon 8700/8800 and the Canon S2IS both have some good manual control and with him starting out he really does not need to think about the manual controls of an SLR. Man if I had to deal with all of the manual controls on my 350D when I first started out, I would not be doing this today
