If you want to go with a DSLR and not spend a bunch, search ebay or other places for a used Nikon D70s and an 18-70mm lens. Also, most Nikon cameras can use lenses going back several decades using the F mount, so finding different lenses will not break the bank as you can get good used ones for a fraction of the cost to buy a new one, the only thing you may lose if it's a really old lens is some of the metering and possibly auto focus, but you can get lenses from the 90's that had all the fancy stuff on them.
