Help, I'm New To Photography!

Question

Ok, so over these past couple of months, ive been more and more into photography. All ive been on is Flickr and ive just admired everything i've seen. I guess it all started when i noticed how well rob sheridan captured the emotion in the live performances of nine inch nails. i want to begin photography, its amazing.

SO MY QUESTION IS THIS

can anybody suggest a good camera? i have the money, so hopefully there isn't any boundaries. but i just want one that i can be proud of. ALL IDEAS ARE WELCOME! so please, please help me :)

Answer 1

You can get one of these cameras:

A Canon or Nikon from a "starter" to "next level." Then you would want to get a good zoom lens  

For a Nikon:

And if you really want to be good at it - even to a professional level or artist - take some photography classes. It will  help you understand all the mechanics and techniques of photography.

Answer 2

I suggest you start off with an entry level DSLR. Some good choices would be the Canon Rebel series and the Nikon D40 or D60. I would also take a class. Learning how to use an SLR properly will make a huge difference in the quality of your photographs.
