Hi,

I'm a beginner in SLR camera and still need more exposure. I plan to buy my first SLR camera but I have no idea which camera is suitable for a beginner. Can give me some advice about my curious? Thank you very much.

The first thing you should do is go to local camera shops and try out some of the newest models. See which one feels the most user friendly to you. Also be sure to stick with a major brand (Canon, Nikon ,Minolta) to be sure you are getting the best built and lens quality. One last thing that I wish I was told 23years ago. BUY THE BEST LENSES YOU CAN AFFORD, I have never heard of anyone regretting their purchase of an L series, or an ED Nikkor, however, there are plenty of people unhappy with thier cheap independents. good luck.
