Good evening everyone,
My wife and I were wanting to get into photography. We like taking pictures, but want to take the plunge into getting a camera and a possible Windows XP rig with an older version of Photoshop to do some light editing. The reason for the eclectic rig is the monitor in my signature - the Sony Artisan - whose self-calibration software won't work with anything other than XP (not even virtual XP will work with it).
So - what's a good camera to for newbies? I haven't discussed a price range the missus yet, so I may need to do that first.
Also - what's a decent version of Photoshop that will work with Windows XP? Thanks!
One thing to emphasize here is that we're not looking to become photo-pro's. This is for our own hobby and for pictures around the house and maybe for friends and our church. We're not looking to get any money out of this. Thanks!
