nikon D50 is cheap....the body is around 500 but the lenses is where the money is at....a 18-70 nikkor lens can run around 300 depending on what you want...thats what i am thinking of getting. all of my camera friends...say never go cheap on the glass....lenses can be expsensive... im a noob to photog in general...so i dont really know what im talking about sometimes.

I wanted the D80 (best nikon for the money), but in order to go to Japan and finish my car I had to settle for the D50, which is still nice. I got the body and the Nikor 70mm for a little over $700

damn thats a ton of money for me right now. looks like i'll have to stick with the old canon av-1 and the cool pix for now =\ ohh well they take cool pics anyway. here are a couple samples

sorry about the size.

^^^ the last pic is cool

d50 is what i use. it's more than enough for a non-professional photographer like myself.

thanks man. i really made the sky look like that. i didnt do it in a photo editing program haha

yeah i wish i had the money for something nice like that. my av-1 takes really nice photos its just a pain in the ass to scan them. i wish i had banzy's photography skills =P

if you are just getting into photography/taking pictures, i suggest the canon digital rebel xt. that's what i started with. i started with the lens kit which came with a 18-55mm lens. i got it right under $700. and since then, i never looked back. the camera is great. i read somewhere on a site that said the best camera to start off with is a canon digital rebel xt. can't go wrong with that, but that's my opinion. the best advice that can be given is that you should research different kinds to see what suits you best.
