Jim,

Any chance you can post more pics in the next week. I'm debating on which camera to get, the Canon T2i or the Nikon d5100. They are both within the same price range. I am leaning more towards the Canon since all the reviews I have read said it is the better entry level camera. Ease of menus, ease of shooting pictures, ect.

I'm looking at taking nature pictures, landscapes and also indoor like Birthdays and such.

Thank you
Terry

Terry, take a look at my latest sets in Flickr from the link in my sig to see some results. I am still
learning its features but so far I really like what I am getting.

Regards,
Jim

Jim,

I went ahead and got the T2i. 2 hour battery charge means no pic tonight frown


I also found some great videos to help learn the camera.



This next one deals with the Rebel camera

Thanks for those vids Terry!! I bought a T3i last August as an upgrade from an S1IS, which gave me pretty good insight since it was kind of between point and shoot and what I have now. I'll be watching the vids you posted soon, looks like a lot of info if the 2 hour run time is any indication!

Having tinkers with my camera alittle I can say after watching the 2 videos I posted they will teach a new person a lot about DSLRs. The bottom one that talks specifically about the Rebel is awesome and a must see for someone who never owned the Rebel EOS.

Thanks Terry, wish I had more time to watch these videos, I saved the first one and am working on saving the second. Work schedule
is just pure hell lately. living at work has its drawbacks.
