Just sayin hello

Newbie sayin hello and introducing my self. My names Alan I'm from New Alexandria, Pa. Used to do some photography in the stone age of the late 70s and early 80s. Actually still have camera bodies and lenses from then. This new technology got me in a state of confusion and awe at the same time. I'm sure I'll have tons of questions. I've always liked and will probably continue with landscape, wild life and water falls. Thanks for reading this.

Welcome aboard. Enjoy the ride.
We look forward to seeing more posts and samples of your work.

Gee, if the late 70s and early 80s is the stone age, what does that make my father's Argus C3 that I shot with in the early 60s? ;)

I'm just going by what my daughters keep telling me.

Welcome to the forum. Have you chosen a camera yet?
At present I have a used D5100 but I'm looking to up grade soon. I'd like to go to the best camera body I can but still use the lenses I have. Being a single dad and putting to kids through collage puts a hurting on the play toy budget tho.

If you are on a budget I might suggest a refurbished D7200. They can be had for a reasonable price. That is how I got mine and there is another upside too. You can use older AF lenses that do not have the motor because the D7200 does. It also is a big jump in control. I went from the 3200 to the 7200 and I was not disappointed. You can find them at Adorama reasonably priced. Right now they are priced ok but I have seen them cheaper. Here is link. Just in case :)
