Oh, thank you so much for your recommendations. That's really very helpful!
I bought my first digital camera early in 2005, and as I didn't know how I'd take to digital picture taking, I didn't spend a lot of money.
By now I'm doing a LOT of macro shots ... flowers, food, also close-ups for digital design, like still life pictures of books. And I -would- like to be able to take pictures of stuff that's not a mere four metres away from me. Currently my stomach ties into angry knots when I just glance at shots of stuff that are a little farther away. *sigh*
As for light - *generally* I seem to end up in surroundings with rather too much light. Except of course when I'm trying to take pictures inside cathedrals. *more sighs*
I'll check everything out you mentioned and then I'll probably bother you with a thousand questions. I'm thinking that I might use a part of the pay for my next translations assignment to get a new camera. *squee*
