How to get there:
Welcome to a hobby you won't be able to leave - so addictive!!

is the best site for camera reviews.
For your first camera for serious photography, you prob want an entry level DSLR (Canon 500D, Nikon D5000, Olympus E-620, ... ) or a high-end compact (Panasonic Lumix DMC LX-3, Canon G10, ...).
I find
unbeatable for prices.
As for classes , I offer a one on one on location class , or you could just join our photoclub, and come out on the meetings. We hold them approx every 3 weeks, and all are welcome , no matter what camera you have
