Hi there!
I have been reviewing various cameras for ages but am not getting anywhere! I mainly photograph landscapes, hence my real interest in Nikon 8400 with the wide angle lens. I am not at all bothered about indoor or action shots. I do like to have enlargements of landscapes. I like the size and ease of use of prosumer compared to SLR, esp. with all of the 'scene' selections. Whilst mainly a point & shoot, I do want to learn more about photography & the 8400 seems to have more than enough manual controls if I want. (I am not new to digital - I own a Sony P50). The problem I have is that all the reviews say SLR's are much better quality and thus dont go for a prosumer. Yet, at the same time, SLR reviews say they are not for beginners etc! I want good quality photos which can be enlarged. The nikon 8400 and Canon EOS 300D both say they will print to A3. Is there much difference in print quality when hung on my wall? Sorry for such a long post & thanks for any advice - Pete
