I am purchasing my first SLR soon and was wondering if I should buy all new, or just get the body new and get some second hand lenses, bags, SD Cards etc.? What do you guys think about this? And what is the usual mark-down on second hand photography goods? And is there anywhere special to look...

Hey guys, What is the best beginner's all round SLR camera? In relation to performance, affordability, lens affordability? I'm thinking of taking photojournalism next year and I'll need the equipment. Thanks!!

I wasn't able to find a general photography thread, so I took the liberty of creating one. This is when we get off topic in other threads and we can discuss general photography here, be it questions or whatever, without needing to create more threads.
