Camera Talk

As many of you know, I pretty much don't go anywhere without my camera. And since my trusty, orange Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS has seen better days, I'm thinking of saving up and getting yet another camera this summer. I want my next investment to be a digital SLR camera, however, and not just another point-and-shoot compact camera. It's about time I get a more serious camera so I could learn some of the tricks of the trade, have an excuse to go exploring on photo adventures, etc. I've always wanted to make the leap to digital SLR because it's obviously more advanced and hands-on, but I really don't know all too much about photography. Luckily, I've got lots and lots of friends who are pretty serious about it, so if anyone is willing to teach me a thing or two, I will gladly repay you in free alcohol and high-fives.
