Thanks for the input. For now I think I am just interested in shooting landscape and architecture. I do not know about filming. I do not have a camera shop close to me but do have a couple photographers that I could talk to about shooting and some cameras. What about lenses? Are there a couple I should start with? Thanks again

Thank you both for your advice. I am not going to buy a camera for about another month should give me some more time to look at cameras and read some more. Do any of you suggest any books to buy for beginners on photography?

Hello my name is john. I have wanted to get into photography for a long time just never had enough information on where to start. I have been doing alot of reading and asking people that do some photography on the side. What is a good starting camera for 800 to 1200 dollars? I think I will be more in to landscape and city skyline photos than portraits. It seems alot of people have a different brand they like I think because that's what they started with haha. I have also read what are the essentials for camera accessories it's a long list! Would appreciate and incite anyone could give me with helping me pick out my starter camera and gear. Thanks ahead of time.
