Hi all, Im new here, looks like a great place and im hoping to spend some more time here once i get my new camera.

I have a question which some one may be able to help me with. I have read many reviews, forums and have spent a little while here even reading the posts. I have very little photographic experience so bare with me.

Im looking at purchasing a DSLR very soon. I have a graphic design business with an increasing demand for product shots of things like food, industrial equipment and other products which it will be mainly used for but i dont want a camera which is good for nothing but.

I have a budget of around AU$1500-$1900. I have looked at (briefly) the Canon EOS 400D which i can get for around AU$1000 and the Pentax K10D which i may be able to get for around $1900.

Finally my question I am thinking maybe i'd be better off going the 400D and using the leftover money to purchase another lens as well as hopefully some lighting. Or should I spend as much as I can to get the best camera I can offord.

I dont want to "grow out" of the camera too quickly and Im a little worried the 400D is not the professionals choice but more of a hobbyists camera, please tell me otherwise.

Any other suggestions on what you think would be the best option for me would be would be greatly appreciated.

thanks guys....
