Aug. 26th, 2011 03:04 pmGuess what I just discovered?
All that stuff about setting the aperture and the shutter speed that my photography teacher was talking about yesterday? I can't do it. Not with my Nikon Coolpix L24. Nice of the people in the Amazon review section to mention that the effing camera HAS NO MANUAL MODE.
I can borrow my little sister's camera for now, it does have a manual mode, but she doesn't know where the user manual is and she claims she can't explain things well and I don't know what type of camera it is (other than Panasonic) so I can't Google for the manual, which is gonna make it hard to learn how to use the manual mode on her camera. And it's not an indefinite loan; photography is one of her passions and she's gonna want the camera back sooner than later.
So. What good, cheap camera with a manual mode would you recommend I buy? Cheap trumps good, unfortunately.
