  1. Thanks for all your comments everyone. I am pretty much in learning mode - I'd like to learn (or in some cases relearn) manual settings with an eye towards taking some interesting if somewhat artistic shots of nature, early evening, and possibly some monochrome studies of familiar subjects. I have several books from a few years ago with learning modules and picture subjects to explore, so I'll just be working through those as I gain skills. The XSi should be more than sufficient for that. I think the one lens I'll try to pick up is a "nifty-fifty" an play around with that. I got my start by the way with an old Argus C-4 back in high school. My Dad worked for Argus and designed the range finder on that particular camera, so I used his.
  2. Hello - I have an old XSi that I bought new back around 2008 and dabbed around with for a couple of years. I have the stock lens and also the 75-300mm telephoto, along with some filters. I want to get back into the hobby for strictly self-development reasons and relaxation, but am wondering if I should use this or upgrade to a better camera. I don't need the latest and the greatest, but maybe something that is just a few years old rather than 14 years old might be a decent upgrade for me. I would value the thoughts of the people on this forum, as well as some recommendations on what may be a reasonable upgrade. Thanks in advance. Bob
