Don’t have a specific recommendation, but aren’t there any community colleges in the DC suburbs? Comm colleges almost always have this type of non-credit class, usually for a very reasonable price.

I want to bye digital camera price between 30k to 35k please let me know the best for photography may be its canon or Nikon, the best regarding specifications, performance etc

Best answer:

Answer by Guy Richie
Well for 30k or less you can get Nikon D60,Sony Alphs 200,Canon 1000D.But it all depends on personal tastes because some like brighter shades of canon.Sony uses technology from minolta.So old minolta users might go for sony as they can use old minolta lenses on new sony body.Pentax is not so popullar as it was earlier.Its best advisable to but cheaperer body and spend more on the lenses because at the end of the day great pictures can only be taken with cameras with the bes lenses.

Answer by SgtPepper
Believe me you don’t need any other guide other than Nikon’s included owner’s manual. Whatever doubts you may have, you can search on internet.

Instead of killing time reading multiple guides, take your camera out and start clicking. If you encounter any problems or need to understand something, search for that specific information or ask us here.
