I am new to photography and will be taking courses on it soon. I have been researching dslr’s mainly the Nikon d5000, Nikon d7000, Canon Rebel T1i and Canon 60d. My goal is to buy a dslr that I can start out with (hopefully make a little money after I learn) as well as have for a while to make a career out of. I would love to have the Nikon d300 or a higher model but can’t afford those at the moment. What is a good camera I can use for portraits, kids, and after experience…weddings to start out with but can give photos a professional look? I’m not at all interested in starting with a film camera so please don’t give advice or recommendations on those. Also can you plz tell me which groups the cameras listed above fall into entry level or semi-pro?
The courses I am taking require a digital slr. The school has an introductory to photography class for film cameras and another introductory to photography for digital slrs.

I really want to get into photography and learn to take great photos, however, I am completely overwhelmed with the entry level options between Nikon and Canon. I was looking at the Nikon d40, but I’ve heard Canon is a better brand and now I’m looking at the Canon Rebel XTi or XS. Now I’m not even sure between those two..so opinions on each camara would be very helpful as well as advice. thank you!
I’m looking at updating from my little kodak compact M-series to a better quality camera.
Looking at spending under 0, i have found the Olympus at 0 but am not sure if spending an extra 0 will really get me a better quality image.
Basically what i want to know is, will an entry level DSLR, say a Olympus e450 with lens at 5 be better than an Olympus 590uz.
