First thanks for your advice.
I'm using an Olympus C5050 (with an UV polarizing filter). It's not a bad camera but it has a fixed (no SRL) wide zoom lens (5.7 ~ 22.9) which is great for taken photos of things like flowers, objects or a portrait of a person not that far away but not really good for landscapes and things further away. It probably can be done better than I shoot them but I'm still learning.
Um, still learning and saving some money to buy a good SRL. I was thinking of a Canon but I'm still orientating/ looking around. Won't be long though. |

I have Canon cameras and like them, but you can get some great deals with other brands, it really depends on how much you spend, and you are better off to get a cheaper camera and spend more money on the lenses, as pretty much any dSLR can take a good photo, but they are limited by how good the lens is you use on it. Even the top professionals might use a cheaper camera, especialy when they weigh less, but you wont see them using a cheap lens.

To give you a idea, a few photos I took using a cheap camera with a good lens, and the last one is with a very cheap lens and I think you can tell

SRL with UV polarizing filter? Must be a new type of camera out then.  |

Which part you don't understand Shl.... um, Paddy? The camera isn't a SRL and I bought a polarizing filter and screwed it on the fixed lens. (you know the drill) |

I am sure you were new to photography at one time, and I am sure you did not always have the knowledge of what a SLR is and the difference between a UV and polarizer.
But I think this thread is just to share random photos, so it dosent matter if you dont know anything about photography and just used a disposable camera or a high price SLR, doesnt really matter how much you know.

There's a difference between being new to something, and pretending to be an expert on a subject when in reality you don't know much. The former can be helped, the latter is just plain annoying. |
