Fresh newbie in forum say hello to you.

Hello every PROS and Expert here,

I'm still learning how to shoot nice photo which not easy for me. Either too much 'noise', over expose, too dark if not blur. I would seek help and advise from you. Started taking picture (field visit) due to job requirement. Using Canon 400D, 18-270 Tamron/EF 50mm.

Is there any course or place I can learn more about DSLR different setting under different lighting? Never think of myself to like photo taking this much ...

Next is to look for my own entry DSLR. Thinking either Canon550/Nikon3100. Any comment on which better for beginner like me?

read up ur manual and the basic of photography and dun forget to shoot shoot shoot as for ur very own DSLR why not consider other brand model such as kr(pentax), A33/A55(sony), etc2 since u still learning and haven't had many information on DSLR, make use of ur current borrowed(i assume) 400D+18-270mm first as a practice and then when u've more understanding on what u want u can get ur DSLR without regrets
