Which DSLR to buy????

[Lionheart]

Thank You Lionheart for this idea, i myself thought that but being completely new to this DSLRs how can i know if the used camera is in good condition?? i went to a local camera shop and the guy told me, "don't get in to used camera until u know that person personally". that is where i dropped that idea as my knowledge about it is limited.

Getting used cameras is just a suggestion. I've only bought used a few times, but those were film cameras. Digital is little dicey in the used department. Buying from a reputable dealer is important, or from someone you know personally is also a good idea. Otherwise new is always good. My first camera was purchased new, and I didn't really scrimp on it.
Get the best you can afford. You won't stay a beginner for very long. That 's the advice my wedding photographer gave me when I asked him the same question 16 years ago, and he was right. Within 2 months, I was doing my own developing and darkroom photography. I probably spent almost as much time on photography as I did on my studies, but that's the passion of photography, it just consumes you.

Hi guys , u r right, i think once i start, i will get in to it.

for now i think i will invest on a good body because thats what i will stay for long time. this is a reason i m thinking of waiting for a time till i can buy D70s. I do get tempted to buy DR as its just within my range but i will wait. I like the D70 very much and so will stick to it.
