I saw you post on the Photography board and wanted to tell you:

I got my DSLR Canon T3 from the B&H site for $449. It looks like you really want a DSLR and maybe this is close to in your price range.

Good luck!

    this is the one we're considering too :) My family is all giving me $ towards it as Christmas gifts this year. We compared it with the XS and decided the T3 was worth the extra $50. We really don't have another few hundred to upgrade to a T3i or even a T2i, so the price difference between those two was the difference between us getting or not getting a DSLR. 

    I've used my dads T3 a lot with the kit lens and it takes amazing, fast pictures.

     

    Sorry to butt in!  

    ETA and its $447 with prime shipping on amazon right now! :)

    Thanks for your input! I'm loving mine already! And like you didn't have an extra couple hundred to put towards tht T3i or T2i.

    Melissa - do you have the 50mm lens everyone raves about? Does it make a huge difference? Trying to decide if we should get that too? My dad has an extra lens but its a long zoom he uses for sports and photographing airplanes at air shows. I love the pictures I get with his kit lens on auto, so I wasn't sure?

    I bought the 50mm/f1.8 and LOVE it. It's actually the first lense I put on the body and haven't taken it off yet (mind you I got the camera on Tues)

    Haha I already hijacked it! What's the difference? Why is it better? I'm a complete novice, so I'm just learning what words like aperture and ISO even mean :)

    First it's the most affordable lens you'll find. Every time I think I'd like to go shopping for a new lens, I'm reminded how freaking expensive this hobby is...so I stick to my 50 mm! Hahaha!

    But it's great for low light! The gif below kind of helps explain why. When it's open the widest (f/1.8) it's able to let in a lot of light making it easier to get great photos in low light situations, such as in your home.

    Haha. I always tt scared when I see my name in a post subject. lol. Yes, I have been all over the place with cameras. I'm scared to commit to a DSLR. I want one but they make me nervous. lol. Right now I'm considering the Panasonic Lumix gf3. its not a DSLR, but its better than a regular p&s. I'm just afraid it will be a waste of money. If its still on sale after Christmas I may just go for it. I just don't know though. I still can't stop thinking about an DSLR
