Question for the photographers

DH is really wanting to get into photography, and is dying to have a DSLR camera.  I'm thinking of getting him one for our anniversary next week, but don't know what kind to look at.  What would you recommend as a good beginners DSLR?

    Definitely not a photographer by any means but I really like our nikon D60.  Now they have the one that has digital video and I'm wishing we could have gotten that one

    Ditto this, I love our D60. It's really easy to use, and I bought the D60 book for Dummies, it's really helpful too.

    ditto any of the Nikons - we opted for the D40 as both our parents have lenses that go w/it that we could borrow if needed.  We took the Italy pics w/that camera and it was GREAT!!!  Def search online as DH found a great deal on ebay where we got ours (it was a store, not an individual)

    HTH!!!

    DH bought me a Canon Rebel for my birthday last year and I absolutely love it.  I've found a lot of online (free) tutorials for it to that have taught me how to use the camera in manual mode.

    I'm also a Nikon girl. ?:) ?The D60 or D90 is a great camera and they just came out with the D5000 that is similar but has video features!! ?

    Nikon's and Canon's are both really great cameras.  It is very much a personal preference with them.  My dh is more of a Canon guy.  DH's work uses mostly Canon camera's but I know other photographer's that use Nikons and they all get very good quality images.  

    As Jackie said a really good one to start with is the Canon Rebel.  That is what DH started out with. 

    Check out https://www.bhphotovideo.com/ for some really good prices on cameras.  Places like Best Buy will be way overpriced.

    I just bought the Nikon P90. I really love it. It the higher end of the digitals. I would have loved to get the D40 or D60 but I had a gift card to Best Buy and wound up getting it there. I love love love the Nikon line.
