I really wanted to buy a camera. An SLR. For professional one. I am not a professional though, but I really love to have one.
Do you have any advice for me on what brand and model I would buy. I really don't have a big budget, so go easy on me. Thanks.
Happy mylotting.

I've just bought a Canon EOS D1000, sometimes called a Rebel in other countries. I got a twin-lense kit which cost a little more but has really added flexibility to the camera. So far I'm really happy with the results, and have a trip overseas in about a month, I'll give it a good try out then.
I settled on the Canon on the advice of the sales guy (of course) as he said on eof the benefits of Canon is that they have such a dominance in the market that accessorizing the camera down the line is easier than for other brands. The functionality seemed pretty similar to all entry-level DSLR's so that made a difference for me. Good luck!

The kit cost just under AUD 1,000, with a second 75-300mm Canon lens. Loads of features on the camera, many of which I am yet to discover! The camera is 10.1 mega-pixels, but unless you intend to blow your photos up to a very large print size this should not be an issue. The point-and-shoot setting with the lenses on auto-focus make the unit very easy to operate right from the time you take the camera out of the box. It has morea dvanced settings to work through as and when you are ready. Mine came with an additional instruction book and DVD which will make the learning that much easier. Have a great day!

Wow, that's really great. How's the feature of that camera? Is it nice? I have heard that it is only 10.1 megapixel, but I bet the picture you capture are really great. How much was it at your place? Thanks for the advice. I am planning also to buy the Canon EOS D1000 for the start. After that maybe I'll upgrade to Canon EOS D50. Happy mylotting. Have a nice day.

Hey friend as you have mentioned that you don't have enough budget i suggest you to opt for a normal camera which which has high pixels. This will help you to take good pictures. Nowadays we get camera of different range and quality. I suggest you to take a camera which has around 12 MP[mega pixel] this will enhance your picture taking distance and also increases the image clarity. Opt for sony or cannon as they are the best i can say.

Thank you for your suggestion. I believe that cannon is one of the best for producing camera and sony on the other hand have develop their standards on the field of camera. But, I really like to have an SLR. Maybe I'll just need to budget more so that I can have one someday. Thank you very much. Have a nice day.

Ya costly cameras need budget control. Many feel it worth taking such costly cameras as they love taking images and there are who take images in an imaginative way.

Most camera manufacturer have a basic SLR model for amateurs. In my opinion, a cheap SLR should do the trick, because you should also invest alittle on good lens. There should be a package whereby you can get an starter SLR plus some beginner lens for a good price.
