In the last week, I’ve taken your Exposure and Lens courses on Lynda.com. Your video instructions are the only photography lessons I’ve ever had. You are such a fabulous teacher and I am amazed that I feel like I am in love with photography all over again. Thanks Ben! (Oh, and I’m a little mad at you too, because I’ve now purchased 2 lenses in the last 7 days and am going to look at another in 45 minutes. Bugger.)

My husband and I started the Foundations of Photography: Composition training course and suddenly started seeing b&w photos in our head. So, we decided to look at the B&W course. Now, we have put all your subjects in our queue. We’re going to be training for a long time!!

Ben.
I came across your composition course a few months ago and completely by accident started watching the intro video. By the end of it I thought “this sounds interesting” and decided that perhaps I should watch the next few and see if it was something I would enjoy. I finished the entire course in three days! Since then I have completed all your courses, including the camera specific in order to decide which to buy. I just completed your low light course too, and spent the last few twilight hours on a windy beach.
Anyways, I just wanted to thank you for creating such enjoyable and educating courseware. It has ignited a passion for photography I hadn’t experienced since high school 19 years ago.

I currently don’t have a camera and I am about to buy my first DSRL. I have seen several courses in lynda.com including: Shooting with canon 60D and shooting with Nikon D7000. I know you know both cameras very well. I am planning to buy one of them soon but I cannot make my mind and I’d like to know your recommendation. Which one would you recommend? I’ve heard the nikon is better for pictures and the canon better for video but I don’t know if that is true. I wish there was a camera in this price range that was best at anything. I have been at the store and play with both but I don’t know much about photography but I am determined to learn. I like the size of the d7000 and 60D compared to other beginner and smaller models like the d5200. They feel better in my hands. If you had the money to buy one of them, which one would you buy as your first DSLR? Also, would you recommend buying a refurbished camera with extended warranty for a full year? thanks
