Default What is ... *no more delema* got 20D
I wonder were should i begin With Canon 400D.
what is cheap and good lense to use ? Maybe in range to 300Eu (maximum 500Eu). Or should I save some money and buy something expensive and really for long time owning (like L series lense)

Just buy a second hand kitlens for €50 and start photographing. Sooner or later you'll find out what you really need (more range/larger aperture/etc) and you can sel it again for €50.

I can only agree with Martijn, take it easy in the beginning. A kitlens will get you far

got delema right now
Canon 400Dbody + kit lense = 740Eu
Canon 400Dbody = 650 Eu
Canon 400Dbody + some other lense under 300Eu = 1000Eu
or Nikon D70s body + kit lense = 870Eu

Nikon is bigger. got nice lense (compared to kit lense on Canon). and it's a little bit faster than 400D. But Canon with EF 50mm f/1.4l usm is good deal :/ and canons 10Mpx> nikons 6Mpx
