[QUOTE="Somersetscott, post: 96427, member: 10691"] Congratulations on the job! Do they use Nikons? - may want to chat to one of the field photographers, they'll give you some good advice and perhaps a go on their cameras :). I find old nearing retirement type people to most willing to share their knowledge and have patience for beginners questions. I took a 4 year apprenticeship in Engineering at 16 and the oldies were the goodies when it came to advice - having moved into an office job I do miss the old guys that literally taught me my trade. College was only good for theory on those 4 long years. The D5100 is a damn good camera, I do like it's fold out screen which is ideal for getting accurate/control on unusual perspectives on subjects. A lot of bang for the buck! Here in the UK starting to drive (at 17) costs bloody loads of cash lol, hope its better for you guys in the US. Good luck with your job, camera hunting and car buying.
