I stopped by a local camera supply store and talked to some very knowledgeable staff members. They led me to a Nikon 3100. When I asked their oppinions on the Canon Rebel, he said it was pretty outdated and the Nikon was at least twice the camera for about the same price. I did look at a friend's Rebel and LOVED the results, however, so who knows. I'm guessing both will take great pictures, but I think I'll probably end up going with the Nikon 3100 model. Speaking of....I'm getting kind of antsy to buy. Hmmm, I may not make it until May. Darn my patience :)
I did also check out a couple of books from the library. I'm done with one about photo composition and editing and I'm now reading "Digital Cameras & Photography for Dummies". Now I do actually feel like I need more hands-on work. Especially when I read microstock forums and read all there is to learn: lighting, studio set-up, equipment, lightboxes, proper editing tools. It would get way too overwhelming if I let it....
My goals are to finish the book I'm currently reading and then I'll see what else I have left to do for March. I might have to add some lighting research and set-up research to my goal schedule as well.
