photography xmas gifts
Help me figure out what camera is best for me….?

Right now I have a Canon Powershot A530, my mom got it for me for Xmas 2 years ago. I’ve alwasy loved taking pics but lately I’ve taken a more serious interest in photography (no I’m not one of the zillions of ametures who thinks they will become a pro, I just like it as a hobby!) I’ve read a few books on photography and signed up for a class (which isnt til fall) but still..I’ve learned quite a bit from the books.

So anyway, I feel like I’ve outgrown my camera…I would love an SLR camera but I’m not sure I’m ready for it. I have a friend who has one, she has no clue what she’s doing yet her pics are so clear so I think I might be able to handle it…but thats a lot of money to spend so I need to be sure. Or maybe theres some awesome point & shoots I should try first?

Ok…a little background..mostly I take pictures of my kids and my friends, and some lanscapes and citiscapes too. I’ve been giving pictures as gifts alot lately…usually 5×7s or 8×10s.

So…any advice??

Entry DSLRs are not expensive. You can get a Canon XTi for less than $600. The sensor in a DSLR is much bigger and better than a P&S. You can use high ISO such as ISO 800 with relatively low noise. You can shoot pictures with shallow depth of field too.
