Sheer honesty time, the only camera I use is my Kodak EasyShare C813. It’s the only digital camera I own. I also have no photo editing skills. All the photos I’ve posted have been straight off the camera, and I’ve never figured out how to use the onboard editing tools either. I know how to do the very basics, as in resize, crop, sharpen…but other then that, nothing. And I know literally nothing about Photoshop. I don’t even own Photoshop, as amazing as that might sound.
Obviously, there is a large amount of gaps in photography for me. And if there is one thing I cannot stand, its gaps in knowledge. While the C813 is a good little point and shoot I think, there is so much that annoys me about it. For one thing, even with ISO changes, it takes horrible night shots. And there is nothing I love to take a picture of more then the moon on..well…anything.

I’m looking at (and have added to my honkin Amazon Wish List) one of these bad boys. From what I’ve read, it looks to do everything I need it to. It’s the Nikon D3100, though the D7000 looks real purty too. But considering I’ve never owned a DSLR before, and I’ve only played with my Dad’s Canon Rebel XTi. So I really have very little experience with working with a camera like this, but I know it will do far more then my puny C813. I also debated getting one of Canon’s DSLRs, but I love how Nikon’s photos come out straight off the camera.
I’m a bit of a photo junkie, and while I take semi-decent photos with my C813, I really want to expand my world. Which means its time to save up for a decent camera, some good editing software…and actually learn how to use both.
What camera do you use? And do you Photoshop/edit your photos?
