Hey guys,

I am new, actually brand new to photography. I find it very fascinating how photographers can make images come to life so I thought I'd give it a shot at taking some pictures today.

Anyways, I hope this is in the right sub-category, but what is a good camera for a beginner to use? good tips? is photography more about the camera themselves? or quality relies more on photoshop?

I'm more of a portrait type person when it comes to photography, then second comes to landscape. What are some good cameras for those? my budget runs around 300-400.

Newb, I know :]
