why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

It all depends on your budget. Getting a camera is relatively easy and a Canon 350D will allow you to print A3 size photos with no loss of resolution. This camera will continue to take good pictures for easily two to three years before you yearn for another one.
However, the problem with these investments are the subsequent accessories such as lens, filters, flash, bags, tripods etc, etc.

Yes, Vincent, I agree with the problem of the investment in the accessories... Just got meself lens, filters and a new bag for my 350D... Yet to get a good flash, going to try my old flash and see if it will work... I am slowing down and pacing myself liao...
Most important is to pace yourself... And learn, learn, learn!

I'm crypt collecting... Starting cheap, now have Cryptocoryne beckettii, C.beckettii var petchii, C.crispatula var.balansae, C.griffithii(Melted! ), C.nurii, C.parva, C.pygmaea(Melted! ), C.tonkinensis(Melted! ), C.walkeri, C.wendtii 'Brown', C.wendtii 'Green', C.wendtii 'Green Gecko', C.wendtii 'Tropica' and Cryptocoryne x willisii
Oh, juggling is hard work, man!...
Okay... then I will probably just content myself with a 350D... thanx guys!
It's already the envy of many. More importantly, you will get great pictures (if you mastered the basics of photography).Originally Posted by valice

that's very true... once know the basics, a simple camera and the correct lens, one can do lotsa wonders without the high end stuff...
and choy, then why those camera companies continue to push up high pixels since it is useless?

just a related point which i'd like to run by the more seasoned photographers for your opinions.
with regards to investing in the system, the key is good lenses as they last longer in product life and can follow your investment to a newer digital? in fact good lenses can last a "lifetime".
