I applied this principle when experimenting in the darkroom using traditional methods to process and print using film and chemicals. Sometimes a bit of luck comes into play, but doesn't that happen a little bit with everything?
To begin with you don't need an expensive camera. Worrying about megapixels is only like worrying how big your final prints are going to be. A few mega pixels here and there are like a few inches here and there on your final prints. In this digital age you might find you are initially happy to publish your images on the internet to reach a wider audience, and receive feedback. Some photographers firmly believe an image isn't complete until it is in the printed form. Either way you should buy a camera that reflects your own goals for what you want to do.
If you already have a camera, or access to a camera then go out and use it. Strive to meet other photographers, and ask advice. It's good to listen to a few different perspectives, so go into some camera shops and ask to hold a few cameras and listen to the sales person's pitch, but don't be tempted to jump in until you feel informed of the options available to you, and what will feel best in your hands.
The main competitors for D-SLR (digital single lens reflex) camera's in today's professional (and semi-pro) market place are Nikon and Canon, so it could be wise to consider these manufacturers for your choice of system for the sake of buying compatible equipment in the future.
If you buy an SLR whether it is using film (occasionally referred to as analogue) or digital the quality of optics (lens) is very important, and will have more of a bearing on your final images than just the choice of camera.
This is just a very brief account on a few thoughts to consider when starting out in photography, and is not a comprehensive guide, but hopefully a little food for thought.
Personally the single most important thing has been my desire to learn, ask questions and experiment which leads to producing results. I could only suggest that a person with a desire to produce images should go out there and give it a try!
I would be most happy to answer any questions, just visit my site
