Re: Looking to grab a DSLR
I just bought one recently. I did a lot of research and ended up buying the Olympus E-510. It has image stabilization built into the body, live view, and you can get it with two lenses (14-42mm & 40-150mm) for $650
So far it is the bomb. You can check out my flickr page for samples.

I don't think you can go wrong for the money. Its a 10 megapixel SLR with two lenses for the same price as the Canon or Nikon with one lens.

Re: Looking to grab a DSLR
Nikon D60 here, I LOVE it!
Re: Looking to grab a DSLR
We are lookin into buying the D80.
It seems to be the best all around camera, that has a little more features to play with!
Re: Looking to grab a DSLR
i have a canon rebel xt in the classifieds.
in low light situations, canon dominates over nikon, especially at the entry level.
nikon finally switched to a CMOS sensor which is what canon has been using all along. ($2k and up.)
I know there higher end cameras have it, not so sure about the entry level stuff....
Re: Looking to grab a DSLR
I use the Canon Rebel XTi and love it. I have a 18mm-55mm for the snakes and close ups and Have a 75mm-300mm for outdoor shots. I also use a few different filters depending on the pic and where it is taking. Once you go DSLR you never go back...lol
Re: Looking to grab a DSLR
Thanks for all the GREAT info (and amazing pics) all! I did end up ordering the D60 though, I'm going to play with it and see if I like it. A friend of mine has a Canon Rebel that I'm going to check out also and make my decision once I have them both. I appreciate the quick and info packed responses though :D
