Re: Looking for d-SLR body
Ah that makes sense about the bridge cameras. I had just never seen that term before. I definitely want something a little more than that though. I was trying to stick with just shooting film, but I'll end up shooting digital. It's just too hard (and expensive) to find someone that will do a good job anymore. Especially out here in the boondocks. If I lived some place with a good lab nearby, but I don't and I'm sick of having to deal with junk WalMart scans.
