Hi, I've taken the plunge and bought the Fuji s602 pro. I bought this since I got an excellent deal on the price. It was a battle between the s602 pro or the dimage 7 hi, the 7 hi was outside of my budget and the deal I got on the s602 pro was too good to miss. I still have my fuji 2800 zoom which I find to be an excellent point and shoot camera. I now see that I have a big learning curve ahead of me, no longer just point and click and hope for the best. I was wondering, do any of you know of any courses in digital photography? I am looking to study self paced to start with but I want to start towards getting certified (my wife thinks I should have been certified some time ag, but thats a different matter). I have done a quick search around the net and have found some free tutorials which I am working through, I have found some that require a fee but you only get a certificate of attendance. My long term plan is to be selling my photo's and photographic skills (when I get them) I do a lot of traditional and computer based artwork which I also want to continue selling. I am based in the UK, my wife works in the evenings so I am looking after our daughter. This means that I am unable to go to traditional classes but I am very open to E-learning or distance learning provided I can get a recognised certificate. Any help appreciated, once I have some images worth while I will post.
