calling all photographers

i just went to best buy and looked at the Nikon D70 and a Canon digital SLR Rebel. i think i am going to go with the D70. they wanted a little over $900 for it so i applied for a best buy card to help pay and establish some credit (im only 20 lol). so im gonna go back in a few weeks and purchase it. thanks for all the info guys!

D70's are awesome cameras and fairly easy to learn, street price on them are going for 650 just for the camera..but anything over 750-800 is an ass raping for that camera unless it comes with a whole gag bag of extra equiment not counting the chargers and usb and rca stuff.. you looked at any actual straight out camera/photography stores yet?

i have the canon Rebel Works Great its just like the first Baby Steps to a big Professional Camera...but it works good for me does some great shots... i'll move up to the canon 20d or 5d sometime....just aint no Baller Like that.. i keep buying camera's i'll never finish my rides....lol

well the price includes an 18-70mm DX Zoom Nikkor Lens and a 4 year warranty

im still gonna look around first...

thats a good price then that camera kit with that lense is usually 980-1200

I use a Canon S3 IS. I had the S1 IS and used it for about 3 years before making the upgrade. Got a digital rebel XT (350d) in between and didn't like it. I dont like having to use the viewfinder to frame a shot, and the S3 has a flip out LCD so you can take low angle shots easliy.

I just got a Canon 350D. Also got me some lenses. I think I am going to like the 70-300mm lense the most

350d is a great starter SLR, and the lenses will work with a higher model Canon camera so you can invest more into the lenses. I just don't have good enough vision to use the viewfinder to frame all the shots. The S3 IS does a great job for what I need too.

I shoot with a nikon D50 and i love it. theres not much difference between a 70 and a 50 and youll love the price on a 50 better. i just recently upgraded to a canon 20d. this last weekend in hawaii i still used my nikon cause its so easy to use.

I'd consider this camera also. A Sony Alpha A100, 10.2mp. About $1k for it, in kit form.
