that is a big step, since digital SLRs are priced from $800 up. have you tried using SLRs before? if you have no previous experince try borrowing non digital SLRs from friends and see how it goes. its important that you have a feel for it first before buying one.
i guess this wont matter if you have the budget for it.
Most brands have starter units for the newbies. Canon and Ricoh are good buys for starters. The high-end ones are those from Nikon and Minolta.
Get the almost discontinued models or get one from ebay or the second hand market for starters. Also try to get one that uses compact flash(CF) memory cars as they are cheaper. Invest on at least a 512mb CF card.
Cheers
Find a good camera club to learn more and compete.
The Orlando camera Club is such a club if you’re in Florida ( orlandocameraclub.com ). Check their website to see what you can get from such a club.
As far as my experience, I went with a Canon 20D last summer because of Canon lens quality. It will shoot 5-frames-per-second RAW and/or JPEG.
Do some research. My 20D cost me $1,500 but I’ve seen it below $1,300 recently. It is well worth the money. If you want cheaper, check out the Canon EOS Rebels which use the same Canon lenses.
