Photography sites all over the Web refer back to the helpful articles on Photo.net. It offers a wealth of articles, reviews, buying guides, and consumer comments and reviews. The in-depth reviews don't cover all the latest models, though they do include the Minolta Maxxum 7, Canon EOS 1V and Elan 7, and Nikon F100 and N80—plus quite a few other models worth considering. Even the old reviews have useful hints on what to look for at various levels of skill, and for specific purposes. The article on building a 35mm system recommends buying an f/1.8 lens (50mm) as the starter lens, followed by a 24mm or 28mm wide-angle lens. Canon and Nikon bodies are recommended.
