Default Camera questions
I'm looking for some advice on a new camera. As is indicated by my lousy gun and grip photos I need to upgrade to something easy to use yet somewhat flexible, possibly interchangeable lenses. Not sure what to look for. Would like to be at no more than $400. Suggestions would be appreciated...

i'll ask my brother, he's an amateur photographer and is really into cameras so he may have some ideas.

The last camera I bought was a Canon T3i two years ago,it will run you around $550-$650.I know that's a lot higher than $400,but it's a hell of a camera.I'm just scratching the surface on how to use it properly,but I think it's hard to beat.Canon has newer models out now,you can probably catch a deal on one somewhere.

Man, you just missed a killer Canon T5i sale at SamsClub. They had a whole kit: body, 2 lenses, memory card and bag for $459.

My daughter has a Canon T3i and it's a great camera.

Well now, I can't post pics but just as soon as my Detective Specials arrive, I'll email you a pic to post for me. Heck, maybe Howard will allow me to drive up with a few 'models' for him to photograph one day

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
