Broke my camera - Need to buy an SLR any recommendations?
Last night I grabbed the camera (a point and shoot) to show DH pics of DD playing with cheerios. It slipped out of my hands and is now stuck with the lens out and isn't working. We are going to send it in to try to get it fixed, it's a great little camera. I can't be without a camera for 4-6 weeks.
We've been considering getting a digital SLR so this just bumps it up the priority list. Any recommendations? I'm a big fan of Nikon cameras, but would consider others.

Re: Broke my camera - Need to buy an SLR any recommendations?
I love my Canon Rebel XLR but i've heard good things about Nikon D40s as well.
I'm a big Canon fan though
Def go and try out the ones you like too.

I have a Nikon D50, which they don't make anymore. If I could upgrade, I'd without a doubt get a D80 or even a higher grade one. But you can't go wrong with the Nikon D40 either.

I have the Canon EOS 20D. It was a bit pricey but I do love it.

I favor Canon so we bought the 30D. No complaints.
Honestly, I don't think you could go wrong with either Canon or Nikon - it's a personal preference. You should go handle each of them and see which you prefer - as far as body size, weight, interface, etc.
