Looking at getting a 'proper' camera, (and no im not expecting to be a professional) i just want to be able to take some decent pictures of my car and maybe take it up as a hobby, Can't seem to get my head around all the jargon though, can anyone recommend me a good camera to start with, and some tips and tricks

And maybe something to simplyfy (sp) all the jargon

Much appreciated

Danny

D40 body onlys are still selling for around £170, so couple that with a kit 18-55VR and you'll have a nice starter kit.
