I am an old school photographer with an unfinished minor in photography. By the time I reached the end of my minor, the DSLR had taken over and I was a dinosaur. I learned to develop color prints in the table top tubes and b/w in the darkroom trays. I did alternative process by painting cyanotype, salt print, and Van Dyke chemicals on water color paper.
I must admit that the DSLRs are very confusing and daunting. I miss the simple days of my Canon T-90, Rolleiflex, and Hasselblad.
At any rate, I have finally decided to learn my way around the DSLR world. I have a Sony A100 that my hubby bought about 6 years ago.
Don't get me wrong. I have used it, but I have never really converted all of my manual photography education into the digital format.
Before I delve into the manual to really learn it, can someone chime in and advise me if this is a good camera? I've tried to learn some of the settings before but the manual doesn't seem to be very user friendly. If you don't like it, please recommend an alternative.
