OK, spill it. I'm an old 35MM SLR guy who is getting ready to take the DSLR plunge. I have a point N shoot Canon (not a pocket job), and I can manipulate a little on the 'puter, but how do you take the pic, THEN decide sepia or B&W or color?
I was just thinking about doing a "what camera should I buy?" thread to get input from some of the people here. Judging by the car pics some of you know well what you are doing. I cant justify spending a lot, and they go from cheap to "HOW MUCH??" I've about settled on a Canon 60D. Fits my hand better than the Rebel models, and is just a bit more capable and easier to use in manual mode, which is what I think I want. Thoughts?

Honestly these were taken with a little $100 HP point and shoot camera. I would take a picture, go into the settings switch to B&W take another picture,go into the settings switch to color take another picture. I have a Sony DSC H10 but I am thinking of getting something else as I found a defect in the lense a while back, looks like a speck of dirt inside of it, It takes good photos, but occasionally in bright sunlight will get a small purple ghost spot on some of the photos. I do not like its sepheia colors as well as the HP.

Hey Shane,
How have you been? Did you find a buyer for your rpu? Still working on that Bada$$ Chevy trk? I don't get to Craigsvlle often and since you work all the time I don't want to interrupt your schedule. Good to see ya posting again, or I have missed them...lol! Have a Great Christmas...Later John T.
 
My point n shoot Canon has image stabilzation, and auto focus of course, but if I compose a shot, and then shoot but miss the autofocus, this is what I get:

I need to be sure what I want is focused, so to me that means SLR. I need to see what the picture will be saved as.
Depth of field is very important to a good photograph. It can make or break a great shot. That means the subject must be in focus, and the background is blurred.

I really want to be able to get some nice shots, because I spend time each summer in a place just south of heaven. The natural beauty just makes me cry that I cant get a good shot. I need a DSLR.

Sending you a PM.

Those are some nice photos. To help you get your close up focus where it needs to be do you have a macro setting on your camera?
