Ok guys, October 18th is my birthday and i want to get a sick camera/lens. If you can please tell me the name of the camera, a price of it, and also a pic of the camera. If you guys can give me a couple good cameras and prices i will greatly appreciate it and you will also receive like 5k rep. Also can you guys give me name/price/pic of some good lenses. i really want to get into the photography/graphics forum and just throughout life. i want people to be able to call me to come out and take pics of peoples cars. i really strive to do this and would appreciate all of your help. So thanks for your time guys and please help me out here.

Thanks,
-JJ

J Phat, we need more specifics. Give us a price range so we have a starting point.

It sounds like you want an SLR. I only really know pricing for the Nikon line, here it is:

D40 - 6.1 megapixel with 18-55 II lens = $499
D40X - 10.2 megapixel with 18-55 II = $674
D80 - 10.2 megapixel with 18-55 (not II) = $979
D80 - 10.2 megapixel with 18-135 = $1149

Here's the Canon Line:

I think that your the one the needs to do the research not us. We arent you and we dont know what you want the camera for. Different cameras are better at doing certain things better than others and if all you want to do is show off by having a nice camera then its not going to be worth it for you if you dont know a damn thing and you just bought some camera that a guy on the internet told you to get.

I agree totally, I just happen to have that laying around from when I was looking....

J Phat- What kind of camera do you have now? I know you have one from your PS help thread and I know it's decent because they were pretty good quality. Tell me/us what you have now and it'll be easier to help give suggestions as to what you should look at. And don't think you can't research on your own. Best Buy's website is pretty detailed and will give you an idea on price range. Two sites that I've noticed a lot of photographers will frequent are newegg.com and dpreview.com. Plus there's always Amazon/Half/eBay.... Hope this helps.

i think its his friend seans camera. not sure though

If your not going to:

1. Stick to photography
2. Use it often enough to get your moneys worth

Then i wouldn't even bother getting a camera over 600.
