<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 379356, member: 4552"]This answer depends on where you live. Just as with coins, guns, knives, baseball cards, there are camera shows. Try google for a list of camera shows in your area. If you live in or near other states, try them also. At a camera show you can aquire information on all types of cameras, photo tips, camera equipment, etc. And all from professionals usually. Then since in person, you can see what they are talking about. Over the years I've purchase about 50 cameras, hundreds of lenses, flash units, etc and all at camera shows for a fraction of store prices. </p><p>If none available, if I were you I'd just go for the cheapest digital camera that has all the basics. </p><p>For example look for a minimum of 3 megapixel quality. Threaded hole for tripod mount. lens that closes for lens protection. Don't invest in a camera that requires changing lenses unless you know what your doing. Naturally a built in flash. Micro and telephoto abilities. A removable card. Now with a removable card, be carefull. There are numerous types and some are very difficult to find or expensive. Look for a SD removable card if possible. Otherwise a compact flash card.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
