If you're really interested in learning, get something basic without all the bells and whistles. I highly recommend my [url=http://pentax.com/products/cameras/camera_overview.cfm?productID=1354]ZX-5n[/url]. It's automatic, but you have easy manual control when you want it. And the part I really love is that everything isn't controlled with little buttons and confusing LCD menus. It has wonderful, easy-to-use dials. Tactile and untuitive. There aren't a lot of automatic modes, which I see as a good thing for a beginner really interested in learning what he's doing. But it does have some nice simple features like an automatic bracketing mode. (It'll take three pictures at a time, one at the "correct" exposure, then one underexposed and one overexposed by either 1 or 1/2 stop. Again, easily set with a nice, quick turn of a dial.) Not high photo technology, I know, but again, that's what I like about it, especially for a beginner. BTW, as for a lens, I'd go with something like a 28-70. It's a nice, versatile, everyday zoom. And depending on how I feel about my DSLR when I buy it, I may -- [b]may[/b] -- sell my ZX-5n. But I'm not sure when I might do that and I dunno how soon you're looking to buy.
