First Digital SLR Camera

All the leading manufacturers make good cameras. There is a saying that 99% of the cameras are better than 90% of the people that use them so do not get to hung up on this spec or that feature. You will have a great tool from Nikon, canon, Pentax, Sony & Samsung.
Get something used with a kit lens and use like that for 6-12 months.Then take stock - Are you still enjoying it, what limitations do you find - does it work for you in low light, sports etc.
Then invest based on your need, or sell on and buy the model whose features are now important to you.No Links in Signatures by Site Rules - MSE Forum Team 20 -
I bought the Pentax K200D with £50 cashback (cheque arrived within 2 weeks). Absolutely love it!
One reason I went with this over Canon and Nikon was the fact that I can put rechargeable AA batteries in it.
Like most people have said all the models mentioned on this post will be far better than an amateur photographer!0
