What is a good camera for beginners? Not a point and shoot, but a digital SLR?

Posted on Oct 31, 2008 under Digital news and reports |

I’m trying to avoid spending a thousand, I have a $300 limit at Best Buy lol! Or perhaps a good place to get a second hand camera in good condition even!
Oh yeah, I heard Nikon was good too. I love my Canon cameras, but I'm willing to make a change if it means I can getting started shooting more professionally! Thanks for the advice, I'll look in to it, and other answers are still welcome!

  1. Go for the Nikon D40, it may be slightly over the $300 budget but this camera is a great investment, will last you a long time, the lens it comes with and any other lenses you buy will be compatible with other Nikons in the future.
    I prefer the D40 over the higher resolution D40x, the 6.4 megapixel sensor is hard to beat, I continue to take great pictures with it.

  2. The only DSLR you have a chance of finding for $300 is the Canon Rebel XT. That camera is now discontinued but you may find a store that’s clearing them out for cheap. Other than that you’ll have to look at used cameras or up your budget. If you can up your budget I’d suggest looking at the Canon XTi or XSi and the Nikon D40, D40x and D60.
