Alternatively, he could fit the bedroo... erm, i mean studio out with flood lights and umbrellas, for that extra romantic feel.


Good idea Stu. Where can I buy such items??!!

Go to a shop and feel the difference between all the cameras yourself. I couldn't manage a 350D even if I loved its technical features and was recommended by 100% of my friends... it's too small for my hands. Bit late to find out after shelling money on the internet
As for information on lenses, VR, etc... check out my posts starting here:
https://passionford.com/forum/pictures-video-and-photoshop-forum/176542-photography-101-lesson-one-cameras-and-lenses.html
you should find some useful info there (hopefully

).
I totally agree with you about seeing/feeling and hopefully even using these camera's before choosing. I do have to admit that I feel naturally drawn to the Nikon, not sure why, although I am feeling the fact that most people on here seem to recommend the Canon. I am hoping that seeing the camera's in real life will lead me to a decision.
Also, I will read through your info, I think the only reason I haven't so far is that I have seen so many useful posts by you and don't really know where to start!!
Thanks everyone else.
