I have my mind set on a goal of becoming a photographer and video producer but i have no prior experience in either does anyone have any advice for me in regards to what type of camera i should start out with as a beginner and do i have to go to school to learn anything within the photography field ?

besides the whole college and courses situation, i thing all u need is a ton of luck. in my city i've known some great great great photographer ( i mean creative and talented) who work with ad's agencies and the didnt even go to college.. i wish i were like Mario testino.

Just Curious, why do use canon? and why not nikon?

[care4animals]

Ehhh We really dont know exactly why

but Canon In professional photography Is sooo much better than nixon

cuz canon has better quality and better looking pixels

Nixon is also good but nothing compared to canon

[AddyCorruption]

Canon builds are generally better than Nikon. I used both for a few years. And I have to say that Canon is better. But thats just my opinion.
