Oh one more thing to add is if you download a free prog called Picasa It lets you blur the background using it. The downside is it does this in a circle which can be softened but it still gives you limited ability to blur the exact spots you want. But for a free prog that takes seconds to this who can complain?
asfar as a recomendation of a dlsr There is hundreds of threads on this subject which all end in people usually arguing that there camera is a better one than the next guys. The best advise is the one I followed when purchaseing mine.here is the steps u should take.
1- first find what you want in a camera.
2- What will be the primary shooting you will do.
3- look up which cameras appeal to you and read allot of reviews on them
4- go to the store (With NO MONEY IN YOUR POCKETS)and hold all the models you like play around with them and see which feels the best in your hands.
5- after sleeping on it go buy the one you like the best
This is a good start to finding your first dlsr. Not pushing my camera on you these are the reasons I chose it. I originally was in between Nikon d200 or Canon rebel xti. after reading up and going to the store to get a feel for them I ended up with a Sony.
1- the Sony felt the most comfortable in my hands
2- It has a built in image stabilizer in the camera body Canon & Nikon you have to pay extra for it in each lens you want it on.
3- The Sony has a built in slave for all there Flashes (so you don't have to purchase shoes and remotes to use a off camera flash)
4- Sony is using the same body as Minolta which means every Af lens made by sony or Minolta will fit on this camera (most lenses being $50 on
ebay)
these are some of the reasons I went with a sony. You might buy one and hate it. it's all about what is good for you.
