Well I have always been keen on photography but always have had a point and shoot camera. My first digital camera been a compact Konica KD400, which I still have. Many of my earlier pictures on Flickr are with a Panasonic FZ30 which I bought to start off and learn the ropes. For me the FZ30 is an excellent beginners camera. It has the equivalent of 35 to 420mm, also it is a camera which you can use fully manually with the dials as an SLR. The major problem with this camera is noise, but it was a good price at the time and great to start off with. Now I have the Nikon D90.
