I know this topic has been touched upon, but not in any depth that I have seen. So in any case I'm looking at upgrading to a SLR digital camera. I have looked around a few places to get an idea of what cameras are out there and the price ranges. Now I have a few questions.
I don't know much about lenses so the difference between an 18-55mm lens and a 55-200mm lens is lost upon me. I am looking to only spend around $6-800 for a body and a basic lens to get started.
As far as card types go is one style of card faster than another. Everything I've had has been SD and it seems fast enough but I haven't had any dealings with the other types.
Any one brand that much better than the others. Been kinda looking at Pentax, Konica Minolta, Canon, and Nikon along with a few others.
Anything else I should look for, or ask about when buying a camera? Any help, comments, personal experiences are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
