PLEASE Help a Student Out!

Nice post, well laid out, no spelling mistakes. Pity you're not considering Nikon.

Thanks you. If you have a Nikon to recommend I am all ears!

If you are looking to get into this professionally - then definitely look into a pro-grade body. As such, the 40D is the easy pick of those 3.

I would pick a cheaper body (XSi) and put the rest of the money on some nice lens or lenses as suggested above

Does the XSI have enough quality for me to submit pictures I take on it to the local newspaper? I also have a connection at the SportingNews who would gladly look at any pictures I send him and consider them for print. Would buying an XSI hurt me down the road when I really need to upgrade? What would be best for sports events and lower light music events? If I get the XSI what are some lenses I should start looking at straight away.

Sorry for the numerous questions, please answer!

Thank you
