Ok, first off, I must say that I am a COMPLETE DSLR newbie. My entire photography experience has consisted of using various point-and-shoot cameras.
However, I got some money for my birthday, so I'd like to buy a DSLR. The camera would primarily be used for close up computer pictures, with the occasional sporting event or vacation.
I have been researching entry-level DSLRs, and it seems the best two are the Canon Rebel XSi and the Nikon D3000. I can't decide between the two. I have read that the XSi has slightly better specs, but is it worth the extra price?
I was also wondering if the kit lens is sufficient for computer shoots, or should I buy the body and then a separate lens?
Finally, I would also like a little advice on setting up a small photo studio. I was going to pick up some heavy-duty white paper for the background, but should I also buy a light source? If so, what kind?
Thanks so much in advance!
