Question: What is a good resource to learn about pro cameras from!?
Industry magazines have numerous camera comparisons and tests, but they assume their audience has familiarity with DSLR level equipment!.
See, up until now, I have used either a $150!.00 point & shoot or a disposable camera-in-a-box!. I have no formal (or informal either) training,so along with learning about cameras, I need a direction to go towards general photo info also!. I DO plan on going to school, hopefully this winter or spring, but till then, any tips!?
Thanks in advance!.
P!.S!. I have taken pictures for years for myself, I've just never approached it from a technical angle!.!.for example, exposure,depth of field,etc!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Get, and read, the book "Understanding Exposure"
It will teach you about how to control your camera and the final image!. also, read your camera's manual, and you will learn a lot!.!.!.
