A Sony, Panasonic, Kodak, etc., major label in a medium price range ought to be appropriate for a beginner to learn with. If you buy a great camera, you will own it for a long time and it will take you a long time to work up to it. The camera is just a tool.</p><p><br /></p><p>I worked for a coin newspaper for a year and shot maybe 50 different layouts and spreads. We had a little work area set aside with black walls, glasses and such to throw light, a spotlight, and so on, and a digital camera hooked to a Macintosh. Spend an hour on a shot, and you eventually get it right. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Michael[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
