I figure I'll hear tons from sales people anyway, but I'd like to have an idea of what I'm after. A digital SLR seems like the way to go, but I wouldn't like to spend heaps. I shoot mostly at night, trying to make the best of sunsets. I shoot a lot of concerts as well. Right now I work with a Canon S2.
Any and all tips are appreciated folks...
Canon's are always good in my book. :thumb: What's your budget? You'd probably be better off getting the best lens you can afford, which meets your needs, and then decide on a body. It sounds like you're going to need a fast lens if you want to shoot at concert, but something like this would probably do the trick (especially if you're on a budget). Trevor's the man to recommend lenses for concert photography though.
Also, get yourself a good, sturdy tripod (if you don't have one already). I couldn't live without mine!
