[QUOTE="Village Idiot, post: 424030, member: 29446"] Buy a Canon 5d while you're at it. It's only like $2500 or so. You won't regret it too much :) Decide film or digital. Digital will be a slightly more expensive medium to start on, but will ultimately be cheaper unless you're getting every single photo printed. You can find used and refurbe digitals for cheap. I think you can find a Canon 300D digital Rebel for about $300 now. They were nearly a grand when they first came out. Not the fastest or best camera out there, but it's great for learning on and there's people out there that regularly shoot on them. A used D70 is a great camera from Nikon, but more expensive. The biggest decision to make when buying a brand is which one has the better lenses for you. Because upgrading from a Nikon that you have a lens collection for to a Canon can be expensive. Also, unless you absolutely have to have it...I'd not reccomend the D40. [/QUOTE]
