right group?

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital.point+shoot (More info?)

before I start asking questions I just want to check that this group is the
right one for my camera - olympus C5000z or should I be in
rec.photo.digital.zlr?

thanks

Totally agree. Plus, as this is still a low traffic group I wouldn't
bother too much whether the C500z fits or does not fit.

Kind regards

The C5000z has most of the things listed above however I would generally
define my skill level as far below that required to make full use of them.
I'm very much a point and shoot person and compensate by having worked with
photoshop for 6 years.

so, I'll stay here then where I'll probably understand most things

that depends, I get paid to work with photoshop whereas photography itself
is a new passion/interest
