    Try before you buy.....

    Try the Nikon D3100 and the Canon T1i

    I prefer the Nikon, but don't be too hard on yourself....

    And I'd get a 35mm F1.8 or 50mm F1.8 lens in addition to the kit lens.... if you're experimental, an old manual flash with a bounce-head too..you don't need to spend $500 on a flash, but any flash without a bounce head is not worth getting...

    The 4/3rds cameras are interesting, but I haven't used one much...

    • I hear the D3100 doesn't have a back-button AF, which is a big let down for low light/ sports situationsMiguex
