then you could def get a lower-end cam and move up when you're ready. i have a friend who knows NOTHING about photog and she's seen my work... based on my stuff she went and bought a 5DMKII, remember.. its a fully manual camera with only 1 auto option and it doesn't come with a flash. now she has a 3K setup and doesnt know where to start.. i told her to get a 7D but she didn't listen. she was on the "ill learn" tip... but now she's regretting it. just because you have an awesome cam doesn't mean your pics will come out great! you gotta practice, trial and error.

edit- wait, in the beginning of his post he says hes upgrading from a Nikon... so uh, yea.. i'll stick to my original advice of copping the 5D.
