I currently own a Nikon p90 . I use this camera on Manual settings 95% of the time. Its very frustrating because ur using the up and down button next to your face and its not very accurate. anyway - Im looking to switch to DSLR. I have a SLR 35mm Nikon N70 that Ive played with from time to time and I like the handle on the manual focus alot better than on my super expensive point and shoot on steroids.
I'm looking for an inexpensive entry level DSLR that is NOT A NIKON I can't spend more than 800$ I'm a city employee, that should explain. Comes with a couple of IS lenses, because I tend to get excited when I take photos in the wild.... ![]() 100% of my photos are shot outside mostly BIRDS, butterflies, general wildlife and... sunsets (I miss taking sunsets! my camera does not alow any filters!) MP size is not an issue...preferably 10+ Would like to have HD video, but not a deal breaker. definitely would like to have video though. Easy to use, controls reasonable. I don't want to have to dig through ten menu pages to find what I want. anyhoo, if you would like to see how my shots are now and maybe get an idea of what kind of pictures i take, check out my flickr or my blog thanks friends ![]() I really appreciate the help, in advance. |

Hi,
Sounds like with your budget, the Canon T1i kit(15.1mp with video) would fit your ticket. The experts will tell you that the included 55-250mm is probably short for some of your wildlife, but I looked quick, B H photo and the T1i, with 18-55mm and 55-250mm included(both "IS") for $700 ish.....I am partial to Canon's, I know others will have other solutions for you. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...i_Digital.html |

Hey, like your camera...doesn't seem anything wrong with the shots your getting.
But, if you don't like it...what's wrong with nikon? do you want to sell it? |

Another great entry level kit is the Pentax K-x (excellent high iSO performance). This kit with both the 18-55 and 55-300mm lenses is under $700 at B&H... at least today:
