Digital camera/photography question?
I want to start teaching myself photography because i cant afford to take a class in it. My question is, what is a really good digital camera for that….good quality but i am a college kid on her own so i’d like to keep the price low. Also, what do people use to edit photos for example make some things color in a black and white picture? Is it just photoshop?
For camera’s……… the Fuji range of Digital Compacts do a pretty good job, but of course you can’t change the lenses or stick filters on them.

The next step up would be the Super-Zoom / Ultra-Zoom offered by Fuji + Olympus….. which are a sort of half way between a Digital Compact + a Digital SLR (like used for serious photography, but not as costly)…….. I believe you can get a few accessories like filters for them, but can’t use different lens on them…. which is kinda a good thing because I’ve heard that Digital SLR’s can get a build-up of dust + other crap where the camera & lens connect to each other, and eventually need sending away for servicing as a result.
Here’s the reviews for them:
