Wow!! Great advise! I never thought about the friends sharing lenses!! And I really don't need a brand new OOB camera!
It's soo overwhelming with research of DSLR cameras! I can find the same amount of bad reviews as good on the same model!! Ahhhh!! I really don't care if I purchase last years model or this years.. I want a camera that I don't hve to take four shots and pray that one comes out good.. I will start scouring the resources and hopefully I find something that will make me happy!!
Carl researching DSLRs can be hugely complicated. People can be fanatical about there camera's. I love my nikons DW and I have had a D50, D90 and now we have a D300s. We are friends with pro-photographers and some shoot Nikon and some shoot canon. All love their camera's. The important thing to remember whether your looking at a D50 or a canon T1i is that the weakest link in the picture taking chain is most likely going to be you. Most any DSLR is going to take great pictures and it will take a long time for you to outgrow it. Don't stress so much about which camera. Just get one that feels comfortable in your hand that is good in your price range. In this price range the other weak link is the lens. Upgrading the lens can make a big difference.
