Of course, it’s (ice)rainy here today and grey so that meant we needed to use the studio. Did you see Grace’s photo? Do you see how calm her kids look. I took a bunch of photos and [...]

My mom has a D50 and for the price it is a nice camera, but if it was me I would spend the extra money for the DReb XTi. You get a much more rich feature set in a cheap plastic camera. Couple it with the 28-135IS and you will be very happy for a while. If price is critical get the d40, if you want a camera you can grow into get the XTi.

If you want the best first SLR/lens pair on the market right now, get the D200 with the 18-200VR. This is a great setup and will keep an aspiring photographer happy for a long while.

This is all caveated with the fact that this is the time of year when new cameras are released so things may change in the next 30 days.

I have a hankering for a digital SLR and was considering a nikon D40. How do you like the cannon slr?

Sarah: We use Alien Bees ( http://alienbees.com ) at $360 for the beginner bee package you get everything you need out of high-end lights like photogenic at 1/3 the cost. Still not cheap and you don’t get things like digital power levels. Up until a few weeks ago the beginner package and one light was all we had and we were able to get some great shots.
