I’ve had my camera for almost two years now and I’m still learning what all those buttons are for. When I leave the house every day, I take it or the point and shoot. Of course the tiny Canon does the work for me and so will the DSLR. However, I’m taking better photos since I’ve decided to actually learn what those buttons will do for me and not use the auto features. You know, if I could just make a little money with this obsession of photographing cats, I would be tickled pink! On second thought, then it would be labeled as a job and I might not enjoy it near as much!
