Well, I had a shopping basket lined up with a 60d and some bits. Fantastic. Based on the advice here it was looking good and ready to click the buy button.
Then my wife (god bless her), bearing in mind my health which is putting a bit of a potential squeeze on what might be a normal evolutionary growth back into the hobby, said if you want a specific one - just go ahead and get it and enjoy it while you can.
So - who am I to argue. I am very fortunate to be on the 'getting back into photography' learning curve with a 5D MkIII and a Canon 24-105 L.
Now to begin to start to use some of the huge potential of this setup. Starting with the basics again is fun and refreshing. I'll be looking to take simple photos to start off and get the swing of it again and then try to look at advancing my thinking as I get used to it all again.
I have to say the forum is great (though I find the navigation and structure hard to follow daily). The feedback and 'vibe' from people on here is great so I look forward to continuing to share by learning from you all and offering my photos for feedback soon.
Thanks all!!
