I've always loved taking pics just never had the money to buy a dslr. I might have a chance of getting one as a gift so i was wondering if I can get some help. I'm a total noob to this and my budget is around $600 for the camera. I wanted a camera that shoots great quality pics (I'm guessing this has more to do with the lens than a camera?) and is able to shoot good hd video. So far this is the camera that i have narrowed down to its a Sony nex 5. Any suggestion on a different camera or why not to get the nex 5 is welcome. Also lens suggestions would be great. The reason i wanted the nex 5 because i saw some videos on youtube in HD and they looked pretty good, here is an example
