If you want to learn photography, should you start with a camera or read a book first?

Of course, buy a camera first, find the feeling, then read a book and learn while watching.

Most people do. If you don't have a camera at hand when reading, you just stay on the book and have no perceptual knowledge. The quickest way is to read a book and then practice, both of which are carried out almost simultaneously.

The 300D has been discontinued in China for a long time, and now the 350D is still on sale, which is quite cheap. 3000 can buy a set of machines. Nikon's D40 suit is the cheapest at present, but if you don't buy it, it will be out of the market soon. Canon 400D is now cost-effective.

If you want to be economical, it is still the popular Canon 350D. Very cheap and affordable, it is the first choice for entry-level machines. But soon, it will be off the market soon, and the 450D will be off the market as soon as it comes out.
