Bump for this event ..

Karl great idea, I really want a dSLR but at the moment the cost is putting me off and also the fact I have no idea how to use it and am impatient with manuals, I went on a dSLR beginners course last year but came away not really knowing enough - I think a hands on approach with people who know their stuff is a better than sitting and listening in a class - so think this is a great idea - if I am lucky enough to own one in the near future then i'll pop along

I'm more or less in the same boat. Keep outting off buying a decent camera because of the price and the convieniece of having little camera that fits it my pocket. If I don't have to work I may tag along anyway.

well pop along anyway , you can see what other cameras people have , and i can explain a little to you , it should help with your decision making..

Same applies to you ... im sure there will be a variety of cameras about.. ill have a couple myself you can look at ..

but then am not so sure about people taking pics and posting on FB

But yeah might pop along - trouble is i'll come away desperate to buy one and know I can't afford one

Hey-ya.
Uhmm... is this outcome of the thread for interested people in Basel?
Is it decided then to have it in Zurich?
Feelt like there was a rather big group in Basel...

yes it is the outcome of the thread. I will arrange one in Basel as soon as i find a suitable location , or someone can suggest one .. I Dont know the basel area very well to arrange it without help.

And beginners are welcome as well?

Yes of course it is for beginners ... and experienced photographers , should be there to help with advice.. its why i shall be there .. ..

Cool, see you there then!

It's still Easter really. Of course if it was on the holiday Monday then that would be different........

Those of you who cant make it please suggest alternative dates .... whn you can make it ..

Hi Karlnmik!

Thanks for setting this up. I'm really interested in attending, but will the discussions apply to me if I use a prosumer cam?

I have an aged Nikon Coolpix 8400 with manual settings (which I love, but don't think I'm maximizing). If I need to bring a DSLR I can borrow the hubby's D80, but I can handle my 8400 much better because of the weight...is it ok?

I will be interested in a group nearer to home - was there much interest around the Lausanne area?

Hi Bring whatever camera suits you best. Its about photography not about what equipment you use. Bring your camera and better still bring both of them ..

Doesnt appear to be much interest around Laussane... sorry
