Too many folks shop for and buy features they will never use. If you buy a camera with the attitude of "Wow, I wanna do that", you should know that the person that did "that" probably put in years of practice, countless hours or reading, research and trial and error. This is not meant to discourage you, it is meant to suggest that if you want to take pictures, buy what is within your budget, learn to use it to it's fullest potential and you will be happy.

Les I have a compact 'pocket sized' Fuji that I use. I also have the Panasonic FZ200 (Lumix) bridge camera. My DSLR's are Nikon. I shoot wildlife and the on/off switch is where I need it for getting on an animal, bird or insect quickly.

Well, I started with Hasselbald, then my lovely husband bought me Canon EOS! Lately I bought DSLR lens EF 70-300mm (if someone wants to know more you can watch a video that helped to choose lens for my camera wholetechnics.com/camera-lenses/canon-camera-lenses-136.html), and I'm glad to the purchase. Of course, I'd like to have more professional camers lately, but I want to improve my photographer skills first) In gereal, choosing a camera is not an easy deal, but the most important thing that I understood is that there is no need to buy professional camera if you are newbie, you wouldn't understand what to do with it )))

Emma you are so right. Most DSLR's will out perform most new photographers by a mile. I agree that time spent LEARNING your camera is every bit as important as dollars spent on equipment. That Canon and the lens you bought should serve you well for quite some time. There are not that many folks to seek help from in my area so something I found may help you as well. I go to youtube, look for tutorials for my specific camera and learn from those. The videos are neat, you can stop, move back, watch as many times as you want and usually the information is great!
