Which camera?

[kryten]

As said above you can't go wrong with a Canon 400D or 450D and standard 18-55 lens to start with and then add a 70-200/300 for motorsport.Its then practice ,practice,practice to get the best out of your camera.As Grum says a bit of Photoshop can also help.
I started of with a 400D ,which I still use ,but now upgraded to a 7D and more expesive bits of glass on the front of it ( all this does is it gives me more consistent results and better photos in extreme conditions) ,however the 400D still takes a great photo if used well.

Photography is a great hobby but can be expensive once you get hooked.

I've got a Canon 40d for sale

Thank you for the offer, but I really want to buy a brand new one.

Thank you all for your replies, it seems as if the best thing to do is to go to a camera shop and see which feels the most comfortable in my hand, Canon or Nikon, and then get the best deal I can on a starter kit.
