Indeed, that is a very good Camera. I 0wn one...

Either Nikon, Minolta or the Cannon Eos.

Fuji is good, but Canon is better. i suggest you the  Canon Digital Rebel XT @ 600$

I ended up getting the XTI 400D

Not bad for an entry level Digital SLR.
I just spent a day shooting at a local park. the Camera is awesome .

Edit:it was a bit more but company ended up buying it for me.

Great choice for a starter DSLR.   Now save up big time.  The quality lenses will cost more than the body.

Exactly, I have a friend who knows much more about this than me and he recommended this http://www.adorama.com/CA1635U.html .
So there goes my tax return..lol

Excellent lens.  Adorama is ok as far as prices are concerned, but check out Dell prior to Christmas time.  Like this thread: http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/message … did=685729

Very nice, the Canal looked really good. I'm in the process now of making a gallery. I'll post it when I get it published online.

Thanx

i like that web site its just that you have to crop your images and can only post 1 a day

First couple of shots with it. http://tampastorm.smugmug.com/gallery/2472739#129705780
Pretty much on the dummy settings right now. (Just learning the camera) You can read the metadata for more info.

I need help finding a good telephoto lens now .  Lovin this camera though http://tampastorm.smugmug.com/gallery/2 … 71851-L-LB  .

I'd really love to hear (or see rather) your review on that camera, doesn't matter how much you know or don't know about photography. I have a Rebel XT that I use for a dummy camera (for instance if I had to get a shot of a bull charging this is the camera I'd put in front of it) & was thinking of upgrading to the XTi for the extra resoultion.

For wide-angle I'd recommend both the 10-22 & the 16-35Lmm for different reasons. On that sensor the 10-22 is really one of the only "true" wide lenses you can get but the 16-35 is sharper & performs better in lower light conditions. For the record though in my personal experience I've only sold one shot taken with my 16-35 while I've sold countless shots with the 10-22 for what it matters...

Tele there is only 2 lenses worth your money, the 70-200L f/2.8 & the godly 300mm f/2.8. I don't personally own the 300 2.8 but have used it & it's the kind of lens that'll get you hard seriously it's sick.
Again going on my personal experiences, roughly 50% of the shots I sell are taken with my 70-200mm f/2.8IS with or without a 2x converter.

Also I second the recommendation for the 50mm 1.8, it's just too fun not to have plus it's kind of a standard for learning.

Hopefully I might be able to offer some useful advice in this situation since it's usually reversed & your telling me stuff

Also I again second Mr. McMinty's advice on this: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/
I've spent well over $10,000 since I really started to take photography seriously & I absolutely, positivelt LOVE B&H. They have customer service that completely humiliate's every other customer service in the world & because I use them exclusively they've given me free shipping FOR LIFE & if I order a good bit of stuff they'll give me some of the smaller things for free. They've even called me after I got stuff to make sure I was happy with it & that = win.

Just to give you fair warning though it's even easier to sink money on this stuff than it is to sink money on computers & anytime you can I would recommend that you buy actual Canon lenses & accessories.

Anything I can do just lemme know. Nice pics too, gonna go have a look around now.

@ mcminty: do you have a gallery up anywhere?
my failure of a website is here: www.MagikXImaging.com but I haven't done anything to it in forever so there's nothing there. Will try to get it up this weekend though. I have some stuff at deviantArt too under the name "MagikTrik" (of course): http://magiktrik.deviantart.com/ but that hasn't been updated since dA changed their look the last time.

Thanks for the advice guys. This is one of my new hobbies I am pioneering. You may be saving a noobie from pouring money into the wrong places.

, just don't pour too much money into it... yet.

Nope. I occasionally post my stuff at POTN (from above), but I have no online gallery. I should start looking around for one.

May I suggest the Nikon D200?

Since that thread was closed may I ask what kind of lens and settings you used for those .

Also, I am considering this lens http://www.amazon.com/Canon-70-300mm-4- … lectronics . Just as an entry telephoto. The price doesn't seem bad considering the range and it has IS/AF.
