SAng, that is just what I was hoping to see. Thanks for the welcome too.

The fact is, most people think a \"pro\" photographer knows it all.
I know differently.
I often refer people to THIS forum. I ENCOURAGE them to visit, join, and participate...to learn.
BUT...when that mother or father is face to face with you....and asks: \"What should I buy?\"
That takes a moment of balancing a suggestion (go look on the net) with a practical \"starting point\" based on their budget.
Hey, if everyone could afford to buy a 200mm f2 lens and a top of the line system, I would NOT have to ask these questions.
As it is, I get asked by people who are DETERMINED to buy a camera for Christmas and they want to know NOW.
So...advice to take a course at a local college, buy a book and spend hours reading arcane stuff, or \"visit your local Wolf Store\" are NOT what they want.
OK....one Starter Budget Level down...who will play and put up something that fits those other budget levels in my OP.
