Using your brain

No matter what the camera.. again it is the brains and vision behind it that makes the picture great..

so practice with he POS until you feel that it is an extension of yourself..

when you upgrade upgrade big.. as to upgrade in small steps is a false economy...

however, save up.. do not use credit cards to buy it... unless you can pay back immediately.

once you embark on slrs.. first things first...

lens (start with a stock lens)
filters
tripod
memory cards
camera bag

once you have mastered the use of the basic eqm.

then go with your passion.

always good to have a decent set of lenses

a) macro
b) wide angle
c) telephoto

flash - only if you feel that the mounted flash (if there is one) is not sufficient

photoshop is a MUST esp photoshop CS.

It helps a lot in terms of workflow

However.. i cannot emphasise this enough.. no matter how state of the art your gear is.. the one behind the lens is what makes or breaks the picture.

Regards
