To Garry McNamara

Hi Garry and firs of all thanks for all your comments and advice tips on your reply back to me for the Module 1. I was getting ready to start my Module 2 when I found out that my camera (Nikon coolpix 5000) does not provide all the options required for full manual operation. I am planning to buy the new Nikon the D 300 by the end of this year but in the mean time should I proceed with Module 3?
Another option would be to by a cheaper model now (the Nikon D 80 or D 60 ) and try to achieve my best result in Module 2.
Please advice and one more many thanks for all your comments positive and negative.
George
