Hello all,
I'm looking into buying my first DSLR and would like some advice from the forum. As a student in art history, I will primarily be shooting two- and three-dimensional objects indoors, often in dimly-lit museum galleries. My secondary use will be shooting architecture, so some sort of wide-angle advantage would be good. Obviously, I won't be doing too many "action" shots but capturing minute details is essential for my purposes. Of course, I will also be using the camera for recreational purposes. The research I've done so far has pointed me to the Canon XT/XTi and Sony Alpha A100, given my **grad student budget**. Does anyone have an opinion on which would be a better camera for me? Is there another option I should look into? Also, any thoughts on lens options?
For background, I have a little experience with film SLR but lately, it has just been my little 3.2 Canon Elph. Looking to step up
