Candid.... could be, could be taken on holiday.... Nudge Nudge wink wink.... I can't shake off my Monty Python upbringing! I still love it!
Anyway, now to the actual reason for the post... I used to do a bit of photography 20 years ago!!! How 'I' can say I used to do something 20 years ago frightens the life out of me!!!! But anyway, due to a few health issues (some of which my pals on here are aware of), I had to close my business last year. I'm now starting to think about what I 'could' and am 'able' to do with what is left of the rest of my life (I'm in my early 40's). I thought about 'IT' for a while (I used to deliver a fair bit of IT Training), but I think I'm just too old now to get into that properly. I've always been quite creative (which is why I think I did so well in training), and I thought about my old hobby and thought... hmmmm, may be!
So now to my question. I've been looking at various cameras recently and I've narrowed it down to (in my budget), and in no particular order:
1. Sony Alpha A500
2. Nikon D5000
3. Canon 450D
My question, and I've read 'ALL' of the reviews online, is do you guys have any experience of photography and of these cameras, and can you give any advice?
Thank you in advance.
