um...I'm a film base photographer, so i haven't had experience in the digital world.........but It all depends on what you are looking to shoot......and how much you want to spend...you know...how deep you want to get in.........I can't tell you much because I don't know if you'd like to get into SLR photography, rangefinders, or just casual point and shoot......Japanese manufactured cameras tend to be top of the line in quality...and there is only one company in my mind that beats out Japan in camera technology...and that is Leica
....i love leica soooo so much......aahhhh...dreamy.....
