40, gulp, years ago I was a terror with an Olympus OM-1, a few lenses and various kit. Landscapes, Zoo animals, a little arty stuff...you know.
Nowadays I take snaps with a Canon A630 digital. Easy to take, easy to edit and print but when I try to capture the lighting or details of a forest scene with the Canon, I get Blah!
My kids have a $1500 Nikon DSLR that's so complex and cumbersome they never use it.
Used to be, you could go into a big camera store and buy good used semi-pro stuff. Are there cameras as easy to use and control as the OM-1 but digital and don't cost a fortune? $500, maybe?
