Joel brings up a great point here. There are some excellent tutorials
on YouTube for all kinds of issues about photography.

This summer, I got a Nikon D5000. It came with an 18-55 lens. I bought
a 55-200 lens on eBay. I swap them out regularly, but you need to be
certain to do that in non-dusty areas and remember to turn the power
off when switching.
The digital parts of the D5000 can be a great aid to shooting in
low-light, but best to get a low f-stop like 1.4 Also, If you're going
telephoto, you'd probably want something in the 300-400 top of the
zoom lens . . . if you're shooting football/soccer games from the
stands. 200 is okay from the sidelines, but one can't cover the entire
field with that.
The camera also shoots up to 5 min of HD quality video, up to 20 min.
at lower resolution. I also purchased a battery pack and an eye-fi
card which connects wirelessly to my computer AND does geotagging.
If you're going the higher-end digital route, just remember that
you're going to benefit from an SD card that is "Class 6" OR BETTER. I
got a Class 10 on eBay that I'm trying out when not using the Eye-Fi card.
I've purchased some very helpful DVD tutorials on eBay . . . and also
found excellent advice on YouTube for explaining all the ins-and-outs
of lighting, camera features, etc.
