I want to take up photography, but don't know much about it.

Photography is my passion!  It's my main hobby! Some people do it for art, film and video production

Can you tell me more about the equipment involved?

In order to create durable images you should have a good camera and flash!

That makes sense. What kinds of cameras are available? Any tips for a newbie?

My preference is a Minolta - particularly the A-mount camera system

Hm. I'm not familiar with that. Can you explain it a little more?
