Hello all Photography Enthusiasts,
I recently discovered the art of photography and I have been sucked in! I came up on $3000 over the Christmas Break and I would like to buy my first Digital SLR. I am fairly inexperienced, but I love to learn and experiment. I am especially interested in Landscape, Architectural, Macro, Night, and Panoramic Photograpy.
I read in Scott Kelby's "Digital Photography Book" that most people use Nikon's or Canon's. I am still somewhat undecided over whether I should buy the Canon 30D or the Nikon D200. I am leaning toward the Canon 30D, since it seems a bit more newbie-friendly, but I may be completely wrong in that assumption.
So my question to you all is: Should I buy a Canon 30D or a Nikon 200D?
Also, should I buy the camera with the lens kit or should I buy the body only and buy a separate lens, and if so, which do you recommend as a good starting zoom lens?
I would like to use this camera as a hobby and for my profession as a web designer in the future, and would therefore also like to invest in a quality tripod and various other filters, which I need to budget in.
I can't wait to begin creating amazing shots! I hope you all can help me! Thanks!
