Just Started Jotting Stuff Down

lookin forward to this i got a canon 500d with 5 lenses and would be nice to learn abit more

Nice camera I am a Nikon user but hate the Nikon/Canon debate, both great cameras I just happen to have gone to Nikon because work buy them because of the future proofing issue (we have some lenses that cost thousands of pounds). When I was younger my Dad had Canons and I had a Minolta. I am not a camera snob at all and not really interested in photographic equipment I'm sure you can already use your camera to good effect but maybe there will be a snippit in there for you in the technique section, will be nice to get feedback from experienced and novice users.

i started with a canon 350d then upgraded last year but only got the 500d as i got a good deal i was lookin at nikons but it was whatever came up at the time
im always lookin for posts like this as i love anything to so with takin pics so look foward to keepin up with this

I've got this really cool camera, its 5 mega pixels and also is a phone, internet browser, etc etc. It's an iPhone 4! LOL

I wanted to get a lumix. Are they any good?

Don't start me off on the Apple Apbox, that would be a mini games console/ web browser that happens to have a phone and camera attached

Look at some type of prosumer or 2nd hand D-SLR mate, chunkier but much more scope

Never used Lumix mate, in general I really like Panasonic stuff their Audio and Visual stuff is very good, nice build quality and components so I would think their cameras are similar but if I were to recommend anything I would say you can't go wrong with Nikon, Canon, Fuji (Nikon components, Fuji chip), or Olympus. Personally I would avoid Sony, they perform well in tests but tend to have low future proofing and if their cameras are like their audio/visual they make very little of the parts and are often someone elses product with a Sony badge on it. Having said that I have never used one so I'm guessing.
