Hello everyone,

This is my first post here and I have come for some guidance. I am starting my quest to build up some starter equipment to begin learning the ropes of photography.

I have researched and the best two options in my budget range are the Canon EOS 40D and the Sony A DSLR-A700.

Both seem to be very good cameras with only a few differences. The A700 clocks in at 12.24 megapixels while the 40D is only 10. Also the FPS for the A700 is only 3 for raw but a large difference in the 40D of 6 FPS.

What do you suggest? I am leaning towards the A700 because of the extra megapixels for printing. Would I really notice a difference in going from 10 to 12?

I will be shooting a few weddings and business events. But I also want to be able to do portrait shots.

Do you think there is any downside to picking one over the other?

Off topic: Wish my budget was large enough for the A900! :hail:

Thanks for any input you can provide!
