I have learnt everything I know so far from all over the web. I wish I had stumbled upon this post first. If anyone I know makes the step up to SLR or even wants to learn there P&S manually I will be pointing them in this direction. Thanks.

In Amazon it has a “look inside” feature so you can see if it is what you want.

That’s been there for ages, and you’re the first one to spot it. Thanks! And thanks for reading it carefully enough to notice.

I don’t know of any websites that specifically do what you want. There are several camera-[specific books out there. I took a quick look through this one looks like it might be pretty friendly.

im very very new to the DSLR game and very interested in this project. The only problem i have is i have no idea about the terminology! I have an old 350d with instructions but it may as well be written in Martian. Do you know of any websites that give “idiots guides”?

2240mm = 200mm + 2X teleconverter + 1.4X teleconverter

That should read 800mm rather than 200mm. ;)

Really glad I happened onto your site. Thanks!
