Ok, I'm hoping to get a DLSR at some point early next year and after fooling around in a camera shop for half an hour, the D40x felt by far the best in my hands so I'm thinking of going for that one.
I've been using a Canon S2 IS for a couple of years now and *think* I've cut my photographic teeth on it, at least I can compose a picture alright. I'm now bumping my head on the limits set by a bridge/super-zoom camera, so want to make the big leap.
The two areas that interest me most are low-light photography and landscapes, with portraits a close third. I don't see myself having a massive use for a telephoto right now, though who knows what the future will hold. Also after using the S2 IS I couldn't go back to a non-stabilzed lens, so it'll need VR. I'll be shooting a friends wedding in August, so any hints on the sort of lenses that are good for that would also be excellent.
Is there any lens in the world that'll do this all for me? I was thinking of buying body only and trying to find someone to do me a deal as the kit lenses I've found don't fill me with joy. Is this a good idea?
I'd quite like to find a good wireless flash to use as well, both at the wedding and in my own interior stuff. Unfortunately I've no idea what I'm looking for.
The saddest thing is, I've already chosen my crumpler bag...
