I have owed a low end reble back in the day and since then had a 10d, 20d, 30d,m tried a 5 d and sold it and went with a 40d, no regrets here.

Your best to start with a cheaper body and BUY GOOD GLASS, your body is only as good as your lens so buying a highend body with pos kit lenses wont due you any good

good luck my friend.

Nikon or Canon. I The single most important thing for a photog is that it's comfortable in your hands and that the system user interface is easy to understand for you.

Picture quality between the two is a complete dead heat among consumer lineup.

Having said that, I much prefer Nikon's ease of use/comfort to Canon's.

I'd really reccomend a Nikon D40. You can get them for under 500 bucks with a very solid 18-55mm kit lens. They're light, fast, user friendly, and more than capable enough.

The D200 that AP-ONE reccomended is also a good camera, but it might be a bit much. See if you like having a DSLR before you blow a grand or two on a good system.

Check out this review, convinced me to buy mine. :-)

any DSLR should work fine... it's more about the lenses and the photographer IMO. I am shooting with a standard Canon 350D Digital Rebel XT.
