In the imaging market

I’m in the market for a new camera.
Sad though I am to say it, my wonderful EOS 500 Rebel SLR is suffering from a total lack of use (and my skills are suffering from lack of practice). I’ve always loved working with a camera, composing and choosing a shot, focusing and calculating the relevant aperture [...]
