Re: Entry Level DLSR What kind of "run up" time do you have in terms of learning before those precious moments arrive?
I say this because if you're used to using a Powershot, moving up to a Rebel is likely going to be a bit easier than a Nikon D40.
We're all biased here, but providing your current setup, your current skill level and more detailed information will help us recommend something more appropriate.

1 edit | First, thanks for the input so far.
I currently have a Canon SD600. My skills are taking random pics at parties and messing with the slow synchro option lol. We're expecting our bundle of joy late Jan early Feb so there is plenty of time for me to start reading.
My budget is around 500 maybe 600. I was hoping to maybe get under 500 by going used if possible. Is there any place similar to Audiogon for photography equipment?
Edit: mispelled audiogon

| I've heard the forums over at FredMiranda.com are good for buying used. No experience myself though.
Before you even think about pulling the trigger on a DSLR, please go check out from the library (or purchase!) Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson. It's not about digital cameras or DSLRs, it's about the components of exposing a photograph, either digital or film.

I've heard some good things about »www.keh.com/ as a used camera dealer. However, I haven't had any experience with them. Anyone else? |

Newton, KS | I purchased a lens from KEH. Excellent experience and a very good price. They list used products as LN (Like New), Excellent +, Excellent, BGN (bargain) and UG (ugly). Others have stated, and my experience agrees, that their ratings are conservative. The lens I purchased was listed as EX. It took me quite a while to find a flaw. They also have a return policy. |
