I am for a few months now the proud owner of my first SLR and am thrilled schlchtweg. So far I have tried a lot, but I am by no means reached the limits of the camera, as there are for me, as a beginner SLR photography to discover much and try. The camera supports the inexperienced photographer very well with a number of automatic programs, which you always have the option to manually make div. Settings, which I personally very much welcome, because sometimes are simply the lighting conditions, etc. is not easy, so you have to readjust and from time to time you should also definitely be trusted to use the semi-automatic programs and even adjust the settings ... that costs at the beginning of some practice, but it is definitely worthwhile, if one then observes the quality of the images. I have yet to buy me a book that for me a lot of tips had prepared that I would have no idea as so inexperienced photographer. Therefore, I recommend to anyone who starts with the SLR photography, to buy the camera, a matching book, the purchase is really worth. And of course you have to simply practice with such a camera, practice and practice again, because ultimately it is the photographer who makes good photos, the camera can only serve as the perfect accessory.
