Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The Nikon D40 is a great camera, and Nikon makes great glass to go in front of it!. (This from a Pentax user!.) If you wanna switch the numbers and letters around, the Canon 40D is also a great camera, but pricier than the Nikon (and for a reason)!. You should be able to pick up the Nikon D40 in a kit with a couple of lenses for under $1000!. One advantage of digital is that while the quality is not as good as film, it's not all that noticeably worse than film!. And you can make a lot more mistakes a lot cheaper while you're learning!.Www@QuestionHome@Com You'll need a camera that can be used in a full manual mode!. Other than that you really should just pick the system you enjoy the most!. Go to a decent camera shop and handle each camera in your price range!. Many stores have a rental program that will include a partial refund on the rental price if you buy!. Take advantage of it and try out a few different brands!. All of the recent cameras from the major camera manufactures can produce excellent images so it is entirely personal preference!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I'd suggest getting a Canon!. I've used Canon and Nikons throughout my photography career and in my experience find Canon to be better!. You can view my photos here!. http://www!.myspace!.com/badfish29 Add me as a friend if you would like!. Amazon has excellent deals on Camera equipment and are very reliable!. I buy all my gear through them!. Hear are some great cameras depending on your budget!. http://astore!.amazon!.com/cappismyspacp-2!.!.!. Take care and good luck! CappiWww@QuestionHome@Com i try not be biased!.Buy a Canon or Nikon!.They have a better resale value!.Better lens selection and more assecories!.If you buy other brand you will still end up buying Nikon or Canon but if you have 10K to burn buy Leica camera 30K to spare buy Hasselblard!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I'd go with Canon instead of Nikon!.
