i know i shouldn't be kpc and meddle in this particular thread as i'm a newbie to photography and dslr, having just bought one. i've never owned a camera and not even a cameraphone...been toying with the idea of getting a camera and/or taking up photography. i too was apphrehensive over concerns of buying dslr vs compact point and shoot. took 1 year to read up and study every article i can lay my hands one. i finally bought sony's Alpha 550.
wait, before you all flak me (and i've taken quite a lot of flaks from friends, relatives, colleagues and even strangers when i mentioned i bought sony alpha 550), i'd like to share the following link with bro moey. even though the forum title is about alpha camera and gears, it actually give a lot of in-depth preview and review into cameras of all sorts of makes and models. in fact, there's even two articles reviewing comparison between canon, nikon and sony. that should be a good place to start.
up till now, i'm still
when faced with lots of terminology but luckily sony gave us free workshop on photography and how to obtain the optimal use of the camera - so i'm satisfied with my purchase choice regardless of how other people ridicule or criticse me.brother moey, do try this link and take your time to browse through - i learned a lot lurking at this alphamountworld forum.
