Beginning Photography?
So I really LOVE photography but I’ve never really had anything other than a cheap digital camera
(like this: http://www.target.com/s?keywords=digital+camera&searchNodeID=1038576%7C1287991011&ref=sr_bx_1_1 )
and I would like to upgrade to a better camera but I have no clue where to start. I only know a few basic things like shutter speed and aperture. Is there a good camera for beginnings like me and any good information online or books you would recommend? (I live in a small town and have looked for classes, there are none.)
Thank you 
Here is a good book to get you up and going with whatever new camera you get.
