Default Buying a DSLR camera

Hey guys

After going through all these images being posted up here, and comparing my photos to someone using a DSLR camera, I think it might be good to get one myself

I'm after
- something fairly versatile (in terms of types of shots etc)
- something that wont break the bank, as it will be my 1st SLR (not sure if I'll be any good with it)
- rechargable lithium battery
- and something I can buy bigger lenses etc for

Would anyone have any good recommendations, or is there anyone who will be able to cut a fellow P-diddy member a good deal?


Cheers,
Jeremy

mainly my wrx - and of course others....

i'd also be interested in doing some landscape shots, esp as i travel and so on.... could also do some nice shots with wrx's on a decent backdrop

but as i pretty much said - i'm a noob on photography, so i just need somewhere to start to get into it

well probably any camera will do.. buy it based on price and ergonomics. Probably a good place to start would be a 2nd hand last generation camera to see if you even use it without spending much.

you'll want a circular polariser filter for the front of whatever lens to photograph cars.

I think you've got the wrong mind set thinking its a camera and not the photographer behind a photo though.
