A lot of friends always ask me what kind of camera to buy. In general. it’s really not about the camera body… it’s about the lens. I typically recommend getting the best lens possible and getting a cheap digital SRL body to go with it. Here are some additional tips that can help you purchase a new camera.

As a total camera noob, I’d totally agree. Lin and I recently picked up a Nikon D5100 on sale (last gen), but I made sure to pick up a sweet prime lens (35mm f1.8) to go with it. The pictures it takes are incredible.
1.8f is great for creating some visual depth. you can pretty much shoot in the dark with that. ^_^ at some point i need to add a couple more lenses to the stable. ideally i’d like to get the tokina 11-17mm f2.8 and a 70-200mm f2.8 VR. By the way, excellent choice!
