[QUOTE="gilesjuk, post: 383823, member: 29394"] You need about two good lenses first, most camera bodies will take a decent shot. Typical beginners will have something like a 15-55mm, 70-200mm. Everyone always focuses on the body, while the body is important, a good set of lenses will set you up for the next 5 or so years typically. The bodies become obselete at the technology improves. Compact cameras are different to SLRs since the lens is fixed, therefore you can easily test if the camera is up to the job. With SLRs the kit lenses are usually low end. They'll take an ok shot, but not in as many different conditions as a decent lens. Focus speed, edge sharpness, vignetting and aperture are all things you have to consider carefully at the low end.
