I've seen a lot of people mention it at different times and I'm wondering if the Canon T3i the way to go for a first purchase into real photography or do you guys suggest something else?

Best way I can put it is try your best to find a mid-high-level to high-level camera.

No use in buying a cheap low level dslr only to decide that you wannna upgrade 6 months to a yr down the road. Unless of course your just ballin like that.

Whats your budget and what are you trying to realistically do with the camera?

Wouldt it be better to use that $$ to invest in quality lenses instead?

Cop a T21/T3i + lenses and learn. Then when he feels he needs that magnesium alloy body/faster shutter speed etc he can flip the body, upgrade to a 7d or 5dMark II for the full frame sensor and bring his lenses along.

Especially with damn near all the latest Canon body's having the same sensor. Not gonna see a noticeable difference in image quality.

Im talking about consumer market cameras not the professional level.
i doubt many people in this forum will ever decide to upgrade to FX or even consider film.

Well I use indexhibit. I didn't know anything about setting up domains/sites beforehand, but got the hang of it pretty quickly. This is the tutorial I used. I found a cheap deal on dreamhost, and have had my site up and running for almost a year. Haven't added any new work, since I've been shooting film pretty much exclusively. I've got the horizontal scroll that you're talking about too.

I've heard you can do good stuff with wordpress as well. Also, tumblr allows for sidescroll. Couple of options
