Hello all,

Budget: 600 w/ lens
Types of car pictures: night, day, motion shots, car w/ scenery background.
MP: preferably 12 or above. 10 will probably be fine if necessary.

I would like to pose this question as finding out a good entry camera for car photography. I mainly will be using it for car photo's and occasional scenery shots here and there, but mainly 70% percent of the shots will be car photography.

If at all possible I would prefer a rotatable screen, but not necessary. For this budget, so far I've looked into the pentax k-x mainly because of the amount of compatible lens' available and it's great price point that occasionally I can find a refurb on woot for 400. Other than that, I've looked at the t1/2i from canon.

Going over my budget, I have looked at the Canon T3i and the Nikon d5100/d5000 hoping to land a great deal on it although it's above the budget.

Can you suggest any other camera's that I can look into or recommend anything else I should consider for what I want to use the camera for. Thanks for reading.
