I'll be straight forward and honest with my situation so I can get the best possible recommendations from all of you folks with a lot more experience than myself:
I don't know if I fully understand how STEEP the learning curve will be for me to learn everything all at once. Learning how to use CS5, lenses, and the advanced features that these DSLR's offer. But, I'm up to the challenge and love this type of thing.
So, given my current situation and what I am looking to do, what recommendations do you all have? I will gladly accept advice about anything that I have mentioned in this post.
Specifically your thoughts on the 60D vs. T3i, Lenses I should consider given my budget, general advice for transitioning to DSLR, anything you can think of.
Thanks in advance!
- I'm new to this forum but google referred me to a lot of useful threads on this site, and it sounds like a community I want to be part of.
- I have no DSLR experience.
- I have a very nice computer with adobe CS5 up and running. I am just learning and touching the tip of the iceberg with CS5 and the world of PP.
- I may in the future begin to shoot events for friends for free to gain experience and to see if it is something I enjoy, and eventually look to sell prints or do some side work at wedding/events for a fee.
- I want to take my passion for photography to the next level.
- I personally don't think you can put a price on the quality of pictures you take of your children as they grow up, and having two young ones myself I'm willing to spend around $1,500 for lense and body at this point.
