What is the best DSLR camera for a beginner?

What DSLR camera is best for a beginner on a budget?

  • I want to get a nice DSLR camera thats around $800 with 1 or 2 lenses in that price. I would like to be able to use the lenses if I want to upgrade later. It would be nice to have image stabilization AND autofocus as well. I would like a fast startup. I'd also want to be able to constantly take pictures with no lag (i think thats fast shutter speed). I would also like at least 6 megapixels. I hope this is possible for this price. I've checked the Nikon D40 which has autofocus, but no image stabilization. I also checked the Sony Alpha A200, it has image stabilization, but no autofocus. Im stuck -_- Oh and links to trustworthy websites with cheap prices would be appreciated ^_^

  • Answer:

    Check out many options at www.bhphotovideo.com specials, sales, closeouts, rebates, etc. I have been doing business with B&H for more then 25 years and they have a professional staff that can answer just about any question. Take a look at a Canon XT or XTi kit, they have alot to offer for your dollar. 77

Here you go. A Nikon D60 10mp camera with autofocus (great camera) that comes with 18-55mm VR and 55-200mm VR (vibration reduction) lenses for $799.95. VR is Nikon's name for Image Stabilization. http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-Digital-3-5-5-6G-55-200mm-Zoom-Nikkor/dp/B0013HOW6M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1213474589&sr=8-2

i dont really like the d40. i like the d80 though, or the d200. but they cost more. i think a good beginners camera would be the canon rebel xti. check out circuitcity.com or bestbuy.com
