Don't fret about the equipment - it doesn't make a piss worth of difference at this point. Buy one, and start shooting. Pay attention, use trial and error, and just see what works for you.
Lastly, for the love of all things holy, set the camera to manual. If you're going to go program mode all the time, get a good compact camera.
BTW, can you guess what I shoot?  it doesn't matter. Just buy one of your choices, they're both very good, and start practicing. |
I appreciate the info, but that doesn't help me pick which one. lol. It'll then boil down to things like .... "hmmm the canon comes in silver as well... and andre agassi used to be sponsored by canon...and the canon xti runs about 100 bucks more than the d40x so that must mean it's a better camera, etc...
And I don't want to resort to thinking that way. lol
