[QUOTE="hark, post: 440776, member: 13196"] For me it depends on how the question is interpreted. Learning photography now is easier in the regard that there is instant feedback on your results. As Mike said in the initial post, long ago there was a time lapse between when you clicked the shutter and when the photos were developed and printed. I had a small log booklet I carried with me to write down the settings used for each photo. That way I could compare the results with the settings I used. It is also easier now because info is so readily available--videos, online tutorials, etc help to allow finding answers relatively quickly. But if we are talking about whether or not it is easier to learn photography such as aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, for me it was easier to learn on a manual camera. There were LOTS less bells and whistles on my first SLR--a Minolta XG-M. There weren't distractions from all the other setting options, wheels, buttons, and menus that are found on DSLR's. [/QUOTE]
