 how cool my son has the same name as you im just starting to get into photography so its just finding out about cameras and what the best for me really but that really helps cheers m8 andy

 ginged26dj: pick any camera you like (matching desired features) since you will swap it for better one in about a year ;-) I started with Canon EOS 400D, 2 years later Pentax K-7 and 1 year later Canon EOS 5D m2. If you want to shoot just JPEG, go for Nikon. They have much better in-camera processing. Canon has got good compact cameras and of course king of landscape photography Canon EOS 5D. In any case, both NIkon and Canon use glass from HOYA/Pentax ;-)

Every camera has something. You must know what you want to shoot. There is no perfect camera for everything. My camera (Canon 5D m2) can do almost all except slow continous shooting. Thus I can "miss" some shots in Fort Bill this year. Since I don't need "machine gun" camera, it doesn't bothers me much.
