12848533, OKPhotogs: Which DSLR should i buy?
Posted by pelicanz, Wed Jul-08-15 01:15 PM
trying to get into photography somewhat. Looking to purchase a DSLR but there's just far too many options out there: nikons, canons, leica's, i don't even know where to start.

Any suggestions?
12848541, anything with a manual mode and go take a photography class
