| Hi there, in a few days, I'll be buying my first DSLR and I am torn between 2 choices, a Canon 40D and Sony A300. Please make a decision for me and tell me why you chose that and why I should not go with the other choice.Also, recommend lenses for landscape, potrait and macro photography.Thanks |

| I would go with the Canon. They have been in the photo business much longer. Also Canon has a much better selection of quality lenses. As far as lenses go here are my recommendations.Landscape: Canon EF-S 10-22mm $800Portrait: Canon 50mm F1.8 $100 or F1.4 $400Macro: Canon 100mm F2.8 macro USM $600 Canon EF-s 60mm F2.8 macro USM $450 Canon 50mm F2.5 $300You may also want to look at the Canon 28-135 F3.5-5.6 IS USM $500. It is a great all around lens that compares very well to the L series pro lens. |

Hi there, You may have already chosen your camera but I'll leave a post anyway incase it helps someone else later  I have been a professional photographer, mainly wedding & portrait for a number of years now, I started out with canon film cameras and loved them from the beginning so when i changed to digital i stuck with canon. I had the 30d to start with which i still think is a great camera but then I relegated it to backup camera when i bought the 40d. The difference is quite noticeable - the 40d is awesome, I would definitely recommend it! If funds are an issue as far as lenses go - sigma also offers some options. I have some canon lenses but for weddings find my Sigma 18-200 OS lens awesome, no need to change lenses the whole day!
Hope this helps
kind regards
Marie-Claire

Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake

Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
