hello, this is my first post here
i'm amateur photographer and i got an old canon A1 with lenses + zooms covering from 28 to 210.
i would like to give a shot to photojournalism. i found out that this is what i'd like to do already quite old with diferent education, good job, loans etc....
so i would like to start small, and even stay at this level by covering local events + stories at weekends. even doing it totaly as a hobby would please me a lot.
my prob at the time is that i think that i should go full digital for this. i dont have a dark room and not too much time either so i thought that a digital camera would help a lot as one can see the result right away, and would save quite a bit of money from development etc.
my problem though is that i realy dont have a clue of digital cameras, and i dont know what to look for at all.
i'm not talking about brands. i'm talking about characteristics, capacities, inputs /outputs for connecting to pc and whatever else is necesary and difent from the film slr.
could you please give me an idea of what characteristics i should look for? taking into account that i'm about to enter photojournalism, even as a hoby, and i'm on a budget could you make any recomendations on equipment?
thank you in advance
regards,
morfeas
