hi everyone.
well, i have decided to step up a mark from my compact 8.2mp casio digital camera, both because i love photography, go out on herping trips and expeditions, and because i will be taking A and AS level photography (they are the 2 exams you take in your last year at school, sorry, don't know the system overseas)
i was just owndering what people would recommend, i am currently looking into the Nikon D40x and the Nikon D80.
my specifications are... must be 10mp or more, must be either very good at close up wildlife shots, and that is about it.
anyone got any digital slr cams that are good, and you would recommend me having? people have also talked nicely of the canon 400d, anyone have any of the above camera, or is there a camera i should be thinking of but haven't listed?
also, app. the 18-55 lense that comes with the Nikons is poor at close up photography, which is what i will be mainly focusing on. soo... are there any lenses in particular that are very good at close up photography, maybe with a macro function, that are compatible with either of the above cameras, but wont burn a hole in my wallet??
thanks in advance,
Alex
