I don't have a DSLR camera either but have plans to get one. Lawnless, I have to thank you for this article as it's amazing! I learned more from this AND WAS ABLE TO FOLLOW MORE OF THIS than anything camera related that I have ever read. You did loose me down the line but that was to be expected with me not knowing diddly in the first place. I am positive I will come back & read this again & again & again and each time I will understand a bit more. You put so much time, effort & thought into this. Thank you!
