TPF Noob!
I'm in the market for a new digital camera and am torn between a point and shoot compact camera with a great zoom, or upgrading to a Digital Canon Rebel (my preference).
I take lots of landscape, nature and wildlife (large and small critters) photos, as well as the occasional action shot.
I've had a film Canon EOS Rebel X for years and absolutely love it. Have a few lenses, and have been told i can use these lenses on the digital version. However, my concern is that there would be no image stability (?????) unless i buy all new lenses (which i'm not willing to do at this time).
Anyone tried old lenses on the digital canon? Do they take good photos of wildlife without a tripod (and without changing settings since i'm a beginner)???
Though i've used my Rebel for years, it's mostly been "point and shoot" type photography, with the occasional fiddle with settings. I like that i can do both, since i do intend to learn how to use a SLR properly (so want a camera that will grow with me). However, in the meantime, i want something that i can "point and shoot" quickly and get great results (my film Canon took incredible photos and was dummy-proof).
Headed to Africa in February which is why i want something simple (point and shoot), but something that will last me for years when i finally decide to learn how to use the manual settings on the camera.
Any advice much appreciated Thanks
