I have a Canon EOS630 that was given to me because the previous owner, my grandfather, went digital.
He lost the manual, and I'm not a pro photographer, but I'm working in manual mode, and I can change the exposure and shutter speed and what not myself. The auto focus is too loud for my taste (and the birds' tastes as well), which is why I am using manual focus mode. I currently have a skylight filter on the camera, and a 75-300 zoom.
The zoom isn't in that great coniditon, as it sat in a FL house for a while. It has a few mold spots, which can be "cured" by sitting in the sun, I have been told, but I am also interested in perhaps going for a larger zoom and maybe a tripod.
If anyone has any suggestions about what is more compatible with this camera, please let me know.
My grandfather's health is failing, and I want to get better as quickly as possible so that I may show him what I can do with the camera he gave me; he is excited that I like both birds (which my mom and I have always liked) and photography...so you know how it goes. I figure this is better than being depressed about his health.
