Canon 400D(XTI) vs Nikon D40x Vs Sony Alpha A100?—Fadi M

I consider myself very good in photo composition (did a lot of research and took thousands of photos in my d. camera panasonic FZ50), but I know nothing about Lenses, I want to buy my first DSLR camera, I am stuck in one of the above choices:
1- which one do you recommend?
2- a 18-55 mm lens, will be ok as a starting point, or do i need to pay for many extra lenses..

I would stick with Canon or Nikon, but Sony isnt bad either. Go to a camera store and all of them in your hands, cycle through the menus and try to change things around. One of those cameras will stand out for you and thats the one you should go with.

The 18-55 lens is a good starting point. Its not bad but its not great. Perfect for the beginner. The differences between good lenses and great lenses these days are measured in minute scale. Most folks wouldnt be able to tell the difference if you hadnt have told them.

Buy from a respectable place. Check out the Better Business Bureau’s web site if you dont know the place your buying from.
