Cameras

I'm really interested in photography (who isn't these days?:rolleyes

but whatever anyway, I want a good camera which will take good photos.

Like a canon camera or something, I have no idea what i'm looking for and I know some of you do, so please help me

Thanks

Don't get a Canon, get a Nikon, preferably a D50. Nikons are what most photographers use and there is a difference with reds between a Nikon and Canon. Canons can't really differenciate between darkreds and reds from say, a poppy flower. They will just show it as a red blodge and the shadows inbetween the petals and slightly darker blurs, rather than rich colours that contrast between the two.

So anyway, Nikon

A Nikon D-50 is very good for a starting camera.

How much you looking to spend?

Erm, I don't have a budget. Just no silly prices like £1,000

My canon is perfectly fine

It gives me great shots, such as these(you can remove the time stamp just so you know)
