First digicam was a Fuji S602,bought used from a dealer in Scotland.First photo taken with it was a Male Mallard,i was stunned.Bright colours ,clear detail.no effort,just focus ,and press shutter.the odd times I hade used a film camera,could never manage to fit the whole of the person in the frame,on the whole a total disaster.I then took up digiscoping,as I wanted to see on the pc screen,the same image as I saw through the scope/bins.that led me to joining BF,and gradually went to a DSLR,the 300D when it first came onto the market with a used 100-400 lens.i still have both of these,albeit the lens has been repaired,but well worth the expense.I have have a couple of DSLR's,mainly because I have trouble changing lenses,so find it safer to keep a lens on each cam.
Would have cost me a fortune in film,as I bin 90%.But having said this,'cos i have never used a film cam properly ,as such,I have never really needed to understand settings.Just fill the frame with the bird,hold steady,and hope for the best.Take as many shots as poss before it flies away.there are usually at least 2 keepers.
