What is your experience?
What is your budget?
What field are you going to specialize in?

What does that thing means in your profile:

I don't give a flying fuck, motherfucker.
haters get mad cause I got me that pretty girl swag:)

Such bad words for a sweet little girl....

and im not sure yet what i will specialize in.

i have a photoshop bookfor cs4 so thats alligot so far

I think you may be getting in over your head. If you're really going to be a pro, you'll need a lot of knowledge about photography first. Even if you had the knowledge, a startup budget would be around $12,500 minimum for pro quality equipment. A more reasonable startup budget would be around $20-$25k.

No offense, but for $700 you can only buy a bottom of the line SLR with a kit lens. It's a great place to start, but you're not going to have the equipment you need to get paid for shooting events and portraits.

i never said i wanted to go pro just a hobbie.. like good quality noy playboy stabdard equiptment just so i can take nice pictures of nature or stuff and maybe work my way up to better i habe 25gs im not gonna spend it on a camera equiptment though its not for a career

Do you intend to make money off your freelancing or not?
I'm a wedding / event photographer. I started with a 700$ budget myself. Currently own over 15k in equipment, and I still need more.
