First off, I don't know squat about the technical aspects of photography (f-stop, aperture, blah, blah, blah), but I want to learn.
I'm also interested in learning about the artistic/compositional side of photography.
I'd much rather buy too much camera and "grow into it" than buy something low-end, and "grow out of it". That said, I'm no Daddy Warbucks.
What I would like to do is spend around $2k and get a good camera, and some nice lenses (telephoto and macro).
I've looked at the Canons (Rebel XT, 20, and 30), and the Nikons (D50, D70). I have a Canon point and shoot which works very well, but I'm bumping up against speed limitations, and that's starting to bug me.
Any suggestions/recommendations?
Thanks!
