The readings were a much needed catch up for me. My photography experience is limited to working with my dad’s Sony Cybershot. I’m lucky enough to be surrounded by family members who own a lot of the equipment (my parents recently purchased a 5D and my sister has a Pentax that’s been sitting around for ages), but my knowledge is still lacking in the subject. I found not only the instructions for the SLR to be useful, but the comparison chart between film and digital to be rather enlightening. For someone who’s photography experience has been limited to digital, having the pros of film pointed out to me was very useful.
