u expecting returns from your investments? if not its just expense ...shd i invest in canon 40D?
btw, can explain in simple terms, wat is ''focal length''? and wat it does? tks
i find photography is a very interestin hobby... it can teach a person good character. like many noobs, brands come 1st (cos we noob mah), and plus i have always heard good things about Canon, so naturally i wanna choose canon. it's not so much for investment purpose... i wanna utilise it and shoot nice pic, so when my daugthers r old enof, i hope by den i shd be good enof to teach them photography. my budget fall in the range of 40D

If you're interested in the physics / optics definition, look at this Wikipedia page but I'm guessing you're not too interested
Roughly, it translates into how far (long focal length, big number) or how wide (short focal length, small number) you can see.
For example, for a decent sized moon on a 40D, you should have at least a 200mm lens.
To get good coverage for indoor shots, you should preferably have 17mm, esp. for group shots.
When choosing a lens, you'd also want to pay attention to aperture, which is the maximum size of the opening inside the lens to let light through. Smaller number = bigger opening = more light = you can use faster shutter speed to freeze motion.
I highly recommend reading the stickies in the Newbies Corner.
I advise you to read all other ADVICEs given in the newbie and Canon thread.
Thats the homework not given by any school teacher; but by the School of Wisdom.
