[QUOTE="fleurya, post: 664355, member: 22866"] Usually the website of the manufacturer will have some basics to get you started. [URL="http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=MultiMiscPageAct&key=Learning_Station&fcategoryid=2533"]Canon had some really good info[/URL], which led to me choosing to buy a Canon. (check out "enjoy digital DSLR cameras") Two books you'll want to check out are "[URL="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0817463003/?tag=macforums0e4-20"]Understanding Exposure[/URL]" and "[URL="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0817441816/?tag=macforums0e4-20"]Learning to See Creatively[/URL]" They're both by the same author and very good. The titles are pretty self-explanatory. Pretty much all of the heavy-hitters are using either Nikon or Canon. You really can't go wrong with either one, but I prefer Canon. An XT, XTi, or XSi (if you have the $$) would make a good entry-level digital camera. Each of those are progressively newer models of the same camera by Canon, with the XSi being the latest. It's good because it's relatively cheap and lenses bought can be used on higher-end camera bodies if you decide to upgrade later. Check around for deals to save some money. I bought my XTi off ebay brand new 1 1/2 years ago for less than they're being sold for retail today. Just be careful of what kind of warranty it comes with. [/QUOTE]
