digital camera opinions....

[Redneckshenanigans]

would like to get into photography. tried to a little with my digi that died that was like a 5mp and was pretty nice but only so much that i could do with it. as long as the camera last and i have use for it i can see spending more than 700 on it, just trying not to go overboard

Understandable...but just know that the digital bodies are throw away parts for the most part, they have shelf lifes depending on the shutter...some are rated for 10k others for more...the glass is expensive and that is what makes a picture better than others is the quality of the lens. I've seen some amazing stuff come from a digi reb with a 17-55L over a guy using a 1dm2s using non-L off brand stuff...thats comparing a $500 body with $5k body and like wise on Nikon system, but i can't say much for other systems as i have little to know experience but would only assume the same ...so yeah...if you don't want to get to serious into it, find reviews on SLR "like" camera. IE: the canon S3is i've heard great things about. The olympus sp-550 is another one i've heard wonderful things about....but yeah, just my $.02
