beginner SLR

[racer83l]

I have had many point & shoots, and I even use them today...

Id like to get a intro level SLR that is fairly cheap, but takes good photos. I have read a bunch of side by side comparisons and it seems the Nikon D40 is the way to go.

Anyone have any other opinions out there?? I found the Nikon for $449 with 18-55 lens and 4 GB card.

We have a Canon Rebel XT and have had excellent results and no problems with it. We have the 18-55 kit lens and also a Tamron 70-300. If you look around you may be able to find a good used DSLR as people are always upgrading their equipment.

yes if you are looking for a great SLR canon is the way to go. i had the Rebel XT and it was a great camera. i now have the canon d40 and i love it even more. the XTI is also a great camera too and is also 10.1 MP either camera is great for a beginner. i have been doing photography for years. canon is the way to go.
