It is nice to see that you took the leap and went with a DSLR. I thought about it for more than a year before I made the decision last month.

I have 35 or so years’ experience shooting film and it was hard to let go. I am even thinking about potentially selling my darkroom equipment now. I made the mistake of mentioning this to my wife and now she is making plans for my darkroom.

I went with a Canon 7D and it makes me feel like an idiot. In fact, I am shooting with it in a very rudimentary way and am hoping to graduate to usiing it more to its potential. One thing that helps is that I bought a "Dummies" book and I am studying it so we'll see how it goes.

mr. onzedge- wow, dark room inside your house. sounds like serious business!

i think it is easier for me to make the 'leap' as i have no prior experience with a camera and it was just a matter of me thinking over if i would have the time to really play with photography or not. the only reason why i chose the D3100 over the 550D was the fact that it appears to have some newb menus i can use to learn from.

i already have several time consuming hobbies (not really cheap either) and adding photography would mean i would need to invest even more of my scarce time. but then again, i have days where i dont play with my cars or my digital piano's so i would use that time to pratice camera shots taking picts of my kids. im even thinking about placing a few different color diecast cars outdoors in the sun and shade to play with different filters and exposures to get a grasp of how i would take shots of my real car when i have a time slot.
