    hi, i am going to start taking up photography. have been told for years i should do it professionaly as i take good pictures. the only thing i dont have a clue about is which camera to buy. have been just using my normal little sony cybershot up to now but want to take the plunge and get a good proper camera if im going to do this seriously. obviously i'll want to practice on it for a while before i dive into actually doing parties, weddings etc.

    so can anyone recommend a camera. i've heard a nikon 200 or 300 is good to start with? i also dont know all the technical terms haha so i will be doing a course to catch up on all that and also a course in photoshop as im also not up to scratch on editing.

    i could prob do without the photography course and just go out and learn everything myself through practice and messing about with the camera, its mainly photoshop and other editing software id need to study.


    anyway, camera recommendations, thanks in advance!

    If you buy a Canon dslr from some retailers you get a free photography course which will help with some of the basics as there is quite a large difficulty curve going from a point and shoot to one.
