Canon rebel t1i or Nikon D60 are both good camera's but I'd look more closely at the lens that either comes with it or buy just the body and the correct lens for your needs. The kit lens are typically just average quality with some limited focal range. If your just shooting indoor stuff or landscape type pictures the 18-55mm range is good.

A general walk around lens would be something like a 24-105mm. Zoom you'll find the 70-200m if you were doing sports. Definitely some decent 3rd party lens like Sigma where you could find an 18 to 200mm which covers quite a bit of range.

Worry more about the lens, not the camera body because in the future you can always upgrade the body but still have your lens.

Nikon DSLR camera It is light and small . It is very portable and takes great photos.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
