<p>Hello,<br>
Ok, so I was wondering if anyone can give me help/insight on acquiring an inexpensive (preferably dirt-cheap) pro (or even simi-pro) DSLR.<br>
For the past 5/7 years I have been dreaming and planning on taking my passion/hobby of photography to the next level, however, every time I think it may happen (aka - I saved up enough money) something usually comes up and I'm back on a financial hardship.<br>
Shooting weddings is more than a dream to me. And it's not an <em>if</em>, but a <em>when</em>.<br>
I have shot a quinceañera (with a point and shoot!!!) for a family friend and even assisted a professional on a wedding many years ago. I have also worked at a couple of portrait studios for a few years. I am not oblivious to what needs to be done.<br>
I just feel like once I get a professional camera, I will become alive.<br>
Please help. I know renting is an option, but, that can add up...($)...real quick.<br>
I feel like an artist without a paint brush.<br>
I need ideas/advise...<br>
Thank you <br />(even if you don't respond, thank you for listening)</p>
<p>Regards,<br>
