I have just gone digital! I have migrated from an Elan IIe to a 7e
to a Digital Rebel XT (350D). I just got the camera and have played
with it a little bit but I'm about to go on vacation and need a few
answers to help my transition. Are there any good web sites that help?
I have found that I really miss the eye controlled focus. I used it
all the time on my IIe and 7e. Do you find yourselves manually
changing the focus points much or do you focus lock on center and
reframe the shot? The same goes for metering. I mainly used partial
or spot metering with the other bodies because I liked the precise
metering in the area it was pointed at. Do you find that you use
Evaluative, Partial, or Center-weighted metering? BTW, I do mostly
landscape and nature photography.
I was mostly shooting in One Shot. I would have liked to use AI
Servo but the DOF Preview wouldn't work with it. Is the same thing
true with the Rebel XT? What is your mode of choice?
For the Mac users out there - do you use the software that came with
the camera or are you using iPhoto, Photoshop, Portfolio, Aperture,
etc.?
That's all the of the most urgent questions I have at the moment. So
far I like what the camera can do (except for the lack of eye
control). I don't want to lose anything in the transition from film
to digital so I'm a little nervous about doing things the "right way".
Thanks,
