I agree with Marko. In the long run you save money by getting a slightly better camera than one that you think might need since it stretches the time before you need to upgrade.

The 20D is a great camera and very similar to the 30D which I have and can vouch for. Plus you'll still find great deals on a 20D.

Hehe,
I'm back.
In a week I'll get my new camera : http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_se...p?product=1192
Is it used, and I got it for $450 with 2 batteries, 2 lenses (Zuiko Digital ED 40-150 mm, F4.0-5.6 and Zuiko Digital 14-45mm, F3.5-5.6), a case and charger.
Now I'll start to practice more about ISO, light etc etc
I'm so happy.

Congrats, always worth looking at all camera makers and options.

Just wanted to bump this a little bit. I think that if you're looking at your camera as an investment - and, when you take photography seriously, it is - then it's worth it to spend a bit more up front. When you're able to spend an extra hundred bucks or so now, it'll save you spending another thousand a year or so down the road.

Quick question : should I buy a good lens for my camera (Olympus E500) or after I'm doing my lessons on this one to buy another one better?
This Olympus coming with 2 lenses.
I'm not thinking to buy right now, later, but... should I or not?
Thanx.

Only you can answer what your needs are...
If I were you I'd take a couple thousand pictures to get the feel for what you need..
