My personal opinion is to skip the 'entry level' line and buy used in the Prosumer line up.
I still have my 20d sittin in the pelican for a back up, though the 5d mark I may be moving into that slot, thinking about upgrading the work horse to a mark II but dont want the giant RAW files...
I shoot everyday at work and can honestly say that it really doesnt matter which brand you go with, just get something in your budget and learn how to use it. If you keep the mind set that the camera is just a tool and the better you know how to use it and understand light, the more fun your gonna have.

Hi,
Not long ago I was looking for a DSLR, I had the D40 on my mind and a similar budget as the one mentioned in this thread.
However, as mentioned on this thread previously I prefered a much recent model and to pay a little bit more. So, I bought the D5000, it has the same sensor as the more expensive D90 and can record video in HD (720p) format. I can't wait for the next track day in my country to set it up as on board camera on my E30!
I got the 2 lens kit from ritzcamera, 2 AFS VR: 18-55 and 55-200. Black Friday is around the corner, so prices could drop a bit.
If you want to get more details I recommed this site for camera reviews (aside from dpreview which also has good reviews): http://www.kenrockwell.com/
I can't wait for my Nikon to arrive, hehe...
Good luck...

I think when he goes over technical differences between models and which items have what features he breaks it down pretty simply and accurately. Sure he always ends it with a I only use my d40 and sb400 and that's all you should too... but if you ignore that he does go over products pretty well. IE which flashes work well with what bodies and what bodies have to offer.

I'm not too much into the 'photography world,' or the 'photography culture'... So, this is the first time I've heard of that guy and his stuff.
He definitely strikes me as one of those that is really 'into it' - the culture, the research, the who-knows-who, the networking, getting-out there... And he seems good at all that. But his work is crap, and his site is among the poorest I've seen...
Some reason, and hopefully it's not just me, but I find a lot of photographers seriously lacking in design ability? Like, you can take amazing pictures, and make them even more amazing in post... But, then you plaster a big, high-schooler logo on the bottom of it (or even across it - ick!)... And you stick it on the ugliest webpage you can find...
Of course, that's not all... But, seems to be the majority. :(DD - 1986 325ES w/M20B25 swap, 4.10 LSD

Originally posted by daniel View Postthe whole point of that is that it is intrusive enough to where you can't crop it out and claim it as your own photo, and if you do want to use the photo (for a product or something), you pay the person for permission to use it.

I can understand the 'protect your work' thing to some degree... But that still is no excuse for a poor logo. What about those that leave their logos on a black strip under the photo? I think that's kinda besides the point.

If I wasn't looking to buy parts from them I would have never seen it. It will be interesting to see how it plays out :strikesgavel:
