Well, hello there /p/! I have no real experience in photography, but it is something i have always enjoyed, and an art form i have always respected. I am looking to get into it seriously, because i think it is a good release of artist expression. Anyway, i figure the first step in my photographic journey would be to buy a decent camera. I'm looking for something not too expensive, although i want something nice. I like to take closeups, so i would like something that retains picture quality at high zoom. I'm not planning on buying a million different zooms, or lenses. At most I'd buy a fisheye :PAnyway /p/, any suggestions for a bright up-and-comer?EXIF data available.
