Do you recommend taking it slow and buying an entry level SLR (e.g. 500d or d3000) with a kit lens, or is it ok for me to go from a point and shoot to a semi-pro 50d or d90 with a $500 or $700 f/2.8 lens?
I don't want to hold myself back with entry level gear if things are starting to happen for me. But I am 20 years old and will own many cameras and lens in my lifetime, maybe its a good idea to start at the bottom.
I have been talking to a lot of musicians and band managers who love my photos and want them for their website - including two internationally touring bands from my country.
I am being offered to be on the guest list, to be hired to take photos, some are asking how they can pay me for the photos and last night I was offered a CD for the photos.
Those comments are all based on what I have done with a $300 Sony H20 point and shoot, so I reckon I can get a lot more out of a SLR.
As a rule, always buy the cheapest camera body that offers the features you need. Entry-level to mid-range cameras like the 500D/D5000 or 50D/D90 all offer near point-n-shoot ease of use if needed and they don't necessarily hold you back. If you are going to spend extra cash, spend it on your lenses which are a much longer term investment.
Image quality isn't so much about the camera anymore. Ever since we busted the 6mp mark, DSLRs have offered more than enough resolution to provide professionals with images that rivaled film. Nothing about the type of photography you've repeatedly mentioned suggests that spending the extra cash for a 50D or D90 will improve your photography any more than the 500D or D3000. With that in mind, you'd be better off putting the extra cash toward better lenses that can and do have a greater impact on your final image quality than the camera body itself. Again, start with the camera that does only what you need it to do for now. In a few months or a couple years, you'll learn enough to make your own decision about what features you want/need in your next camera body.
