What do I need to know before I buy a digital SLR camera?
I really want to know everything I can know before I buy my first digital SLR. I want to try out photography as a hobby and I figure splurging a bit on a nice camera would be a great opportunity for me. Still, I’m intimidated with them. What do I need to know about lenses, cleaning and care, and other parts? What additional parts will I need to buy? What other things do I need to know in general? Any good free guides?
Thanks a lot!
