Has this ever happened to you? You're at a wedding/graduation/on vacation/it's a holiday, and you're taking about 1,000 photos in hopes of preserving some great memories of the day. Problem is, 99 percent of the photos you took... well, they're terrible. You silently (or not-so-silently) curse at yourself and for the umpteenth time, resolve to learn to take better photos for next time. But how do you get started?

Great photos start with a decent camera. It doesn't need to be fancy or expensive, but it should suit your personal wants and needs.
