I am a newbie and would like some basic knowledge about getting started with photography. Can you recommend an entry-level digital SLR?

Find a copy of the "DSLR Digital SLR Camera Photography Bible" and read it several times. It is recommended for beginners to read it several times

Don't rush to buy equipment first, have a preliminary understanding. If your budget is really limited, you can consider second-hand equipment and go to Taobao to search for a store called "Guangzhou Ah Li Camera Shop". It is updated every day, mainly Hong Kong products, and the store owner is Hong Kong. I just bought a 99% new fat white lens there two days ago. Since I live in the same city, I even went to his house. There was a room full of equipment and drool all over the floor. (Non-advertisement)

Because I am obsessed with photography, don’t buy too entry-level equipment because of limited budget. It is best to use an intermediate body, 50D or 60D. The lens can be used slowly as the money accumulates. Buy slowly and upgrade slowly. The body will depreciate much faster than the lens.
