Best Camera w/ a $450.00 max...?

[Nemesis]

If 450 dollars is your max, stick with a high end point and shoot, and learn how to use it (you can run circles around a few DSLR guys with it). 450 bucks will get you a mediocre body with a low end lens in the DSLR world. Just being honest and straight up.

exactly, you're limited to what lense you'll get with a DSLR if it even comes with one. Unless you're plan on upgrading glass, maintenance (sensor cleaning, etc.) , and willing to carry around the extra mass then a high quality point & shoot is far more practical.
