Hi,
I am an amateur photographer and I am looking to buy my first dSLR. In the past I have had cameras such as the Fuji Finepix 3800 that took good pictures but that had very few manual controls. I am thinking about becoming a serious amateur nature photographer,an amateur mind you, not a pro. Because of this aspiration, I want a camera that has the manual controls such as apeture, shutter speed and ISOe that I need to take great pictures. Also, the image should be good enough to make prints larger than 8 x 10. I've read about the Nikon D 70 and it seems like a great camera, but the Cannon EOS 20D is also great, but kindof pricy. Another thing is that I want this camera to be like a building block, so the next camera I get will take all of the lenses and accessories I buy. I've heard that both Nikon and Cannon make great cameras but I'm not sure where to start. I know this is a lot to ask for but they are all spinning in my head. Any suggestions would be very helpfull. Thanks!
