Photography.. New Camera Help!!
finally looking at moving into the DSLR world so what you recommend??
Been reading for a while and bugging the nerd in the shop and most recommend a Canon D550 or D600
Also when i do get one might need some help with setting and stuff

Some of the the photos my dad has taken with his digital camera have been miles better than some peoples pictures who used a DSLR.
Then it comes down to how much you want to spend.
Are you going to be using it in manual or automatic mode?
If your going to use it as a point and shoot then I wouldnt spend a lot.
Yesterday I had a bargain in work, a panasonic lumix g1 (1 month old) tried it yesterday and was very impressed (using it in manual mode)
My dad has also had a eos 600d untill it packed in (his fault) and im happier to use the panasonic I just got.
The only time you will truely notice a difference is if you use one as part of your job, and I bet there still edited to improve quality.

If you can afford to go for the 600d then your on to a winner but you wont be disapointed with the 550d.

Picked up my new camera which even came with the receipt and warrenty.
High speed cards just save pictures faster than a normal camera.
So the time you wait inbetween the photo saving is reduced.
The 550d is a cracking camera.
The only upsides of the 600d is the tilt lcd screen and full hd recording.
For me a normal card is fine.

Whatever camera you get is only going to be as good as the person using it.
My camera's not an expensive DSLR, just a pretty basic 8Meg lump.
My pics usually come out okay.

If your handy with a camera then great things can be achieved with pretty much anything.
