Good entry level digital slr camera?

Question

what camera would you recommend for an entry level DSLR?

Answer 1

If you have some experience with a 35 mm SLR and still have it, look for a DSLR made by the same company ... then you can use your old lenses.

That is why you see so many people buying Nikon and Canon cameras ...lenses made by Nikon since 1959 and lenses made by Canon since 1985 can be used on the new DSLR (with so restrictions .. manual lenses will have to be focused manually, etc)

At present, Nikon D40 is the least expensive entry level camera that will set you put for a professional camera should you ever to that far .. at this time, only Nikon and Canon build professional DSLR's

Answer 2

I am a beginner. Bought Nikon D60 even though Nikon D40 was less costly than D60. Well most of every one suggest Nikon D40 for its light body, easy to use kit, cost and other features.

Now when I am using Nikon D60, i found lots of advantages for its over cost with Nkon D40.

While using canon once for comparing my pictures, I could find NO difference between the image clarity as they were taken of same settings.

Nikon is light weight, good body, user friendly menu etc etc that i felt. So i suggest Nikon.

Answer 3

I suggest the Canon EOS Rebel Xti. It was my first Camera...and still is. Lenses aren't too pricey and are easy to get. The camera is very well made and provides great shots.

You can check out some shots taken with my Rebel Xti (with the default lens) here:
