Hi, I'm looking to buy a DSLR.
As of now, I know nothing about photography, which is why I want to buy the DSLR. I always wanted to learn, and this is one way to go (traditional film photography has film and paper expenses, and is slow if you don't have your own dark room).
Having said that, I need a DSLR (8.0 MP or so, I don't really need higher), with a decent in built flash (I really don't want to lug an external flash around along with the already oversized cam + lens kit), and a couple of lenses (one for regular wideangle, and one telephoto).
Give me suggestions for the best combo. I guess image stabilization in the telephoto lens will be too expensive.
I won't be buying the thing immediately, will need to save up the money required which will take anywhere from 3 to 4 months. I know technology will change, but I am looking to get an idea of what stuff I should look for. It is also possible that I buy the cam and wideangle first, followed by the telephoto a bit later.
My budget is in the lower range for DSLRs - don't go suggesting the Nikon D70 because I can't afford the 1.2k USD price tag.
