Hello guys. I didn't want to start my own thread since the titles probably would be about the same, so I figure I'd ask for advice here. Basically, I really want to get into photography, but I'm a complete noob.
I'm about to buy a camera in a few weeks, but I'm not sure what to get. I'm pretty sure the normal typical digital cameras (ie: Sony Cybershot, Nikon Coolpix, etc) aren't for professional photography. Far from me to be able to get professional photographs, but I do notice the professionals carrying around cameras that look a lot more than your typical family household cameras.
Does anyone have any advice on what kind of camera I should start off with? I know that Cannon is a good brand, but I'm a poor college student, so my budget is around $500-600 max. And what kind of other equipment should I get for the camera (ie: lenses, filters, etc). Keep in mind that I'm a photography moron, so a brief rundown on how each piece of equipment works and what it does would be great.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
