I'm a big fan of the Canon Powershot. I have the A560 7.1 Megapixel version. I think you could step up to the A590 10.0 megapixel Powershot for less than $300
I saw a SLR from Nikon D40 this one will come under $500 ... so I just want to know what kind of camera is this one. I can expand my budget if this one is good and can go for long period. As this kind of thing you can buy once for 3 to 4 years. Please tell me about Nikon D40
The D40 is a decent camera. This is the bottom of the rung in terms of SLRs however...I believe there is a D60 and D90. In terms of price, I think its a good deal. You have to ask yourself though if you really need a SLR. If you're hobbyist then I would say go for it, but if you're just a casual picture taker I wouldn't spend the money to get an SLR. Kevin
D60 and D90 is not coming under my budget at all. Plus I do not want to have that much advance camera as well.
I wasn't saying that you should get the D60 or D90. I was merely pointing out that the D40 was the bottom of the line in terms of the Nikon D series. As I stated previously, to stay under your budget I would go with the Canon Powershot A590. Kevin
As a pro I've used Nikons, Cannons and several others. Find a camera that does what you want it to. I have a little point and shoot sony that is good but it eats batteries like I need to invest money in the bunny. I would check to see what batteries the camera you choose uses before I purchase.
