going to get a camera need some advice

If your looking for a kit you may want to shop at http://www.cameta.com/
I have found them to be priced very good as well and they have good reviews.

Scott Kelby has two reallt good DSLR books out. Vol I and II are both great with practical easy to understand terminology for the beginner. You can get them online probably but I also know you can get them at Barnes and Noble and probably Hastings.

+10 on B&H. Ordered all my stuff through them and are great people to work with.
