I'd like to know why all these beginners have super expensive DSLRs.
I've always wondered, what exactly warrants going out and spending 1000 or more dollars on a new camera when you're a beginner?
Not criticizing, just curious... (and a bit jealous)
EDIT- By "1000 dollar camera", I mean just the body, not including lenses and other accessories.
I see nothing wrong with a beginner buying an expensive camera system.
The problem is when you have a total noob with a Canon 5D with nothing but L series lenses, manfrotto carbon fiber tripod and a 580EX mk II who thinks, "Oh, I put it on the green box and I'll get the best possible photos."
I heard once (I can't remember who from) that buying a dSLR and then leaving it on auto is like buying a Ferrari and then getting someone else to drive you around. A car like that, you want to drive it yourself!
