okay, so I wouldnt consider myself new to the concept of photography, just to the aspect of "professional photography". What im looking for is a nice (not top of the line but not bottom) camera so i can start to feel around with these different settings available on SLR cameras. What I would mainly be photographing would be architecture, ie: walking around cities and taking pictures. Being I graduate highschool this year I had been looking around to see what types of careers are available and photography is one that caught my attention, I figured I'd explore it before dedicating myself to it. I've been looking at the rebel xt but im not sure if that is what i would want/need. My price range is around 800 dollars give or take but if necessary i could get a few hundred more. Thanks for your help.
