TPF Noob!
I am looking to buy my first dslr. I am very confused with what to buy.....so many options. I have no plans on being a professional photographer, just want to be able to take some nice photos and maybe put some on my wall... Maybe in the future I might want to upgrade to a better camera, so lense compatibility is important. I would like to be able to use the lenses I buy now if i decide to upgrade the body in the future.
I have been looking at some used older dslr's.... nikon d50, canon 20d....($200-$300 with kit lense)
or
new nikon d3000 or canon xs ($400-500 with kit lense)
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I like the idea of buying a used camera for the price savings, but am I wasting my money?
I have been told just to buy a cheap used camera at first and spend money on lenses, but have also been told just to buy a new camera to save problems from buying used older technology.
Thanks
