hi. newcomer here. I got sick of looking for the photography club in my school(don't think there i any really), so here i am.
Anyone here willing to teach me about cameras and functions from scratch, and basically the whole concept of photography(i'm happy to learn slowly) - because i don't know ANYTHING except for the fact that cameras takes pictures - that would be great.
The only camera i have is a Pantex Optio S50 - i don't actually know whether it's a good/bad camera, but it's quite confusing/annoying with all the functions(because i don't really know when to use them and what "pixels recorded" do and stuff like that - plus i hate the fact that it takes like a full second before i could move my hand after pressing the shutter button(? - dont know what it's called) because my hand is quite shaky and lots of my pictures always turnes out blurry because of this...i have to stop breathing sometimes just to get a clear picture. this post is getting pretty long...
my question - should i get a new camera? I'm a beginner and though i keep hearing(from all the camera reviews i've read) that its not the camera, its the photographer - THERE HAS GOT TO BE A CHEAP BASIC CAMERA FOR PEOPLE WHO KNOWS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I'd also like to know what i should look for in a camera and why i should look for them =D
I was thinking of a SONY A100. but i wouldn't want to waste that much money just starting out. any suggestions(with provided reasons thanks) will be very much apreciated.
