So my cousin has finnally had enough money to start taking photography classes,but in order to take the class u need your own camera,he knows comple nothing about SLR cameras,im surprised hes even taking the class, but i do know atleast the basics of SLR cameras,but hes taking the class so he can learn more about photography, and we live by San Francisco so i know he can go over and take some nice shots.

i did some research and came up with a few cameras that look to be good based on the reviews, i have:
Canon EOS 500D
Nikon D5000
and thats about it,are those 2 good choices?

now price isnt an issue,but remember hes a beginner,
so in your opinion what would be a GREAT Camera to get a begginner level? but still have professional quality?

Also should we buy a External flash aswell?
And what programs are commonly used to edit photos?(im about advanced in photoshop Cs3,so most adobe products are easy to me)

thanks very much.
