New camera
New camera
Lets pretend a guy had $1000 to spend on a camera, this "guy" has no real experience with anything other than point and shoot cameras, he want's to take pics of wildlife and maybe some family portaits. Anyone have any suggestions? I realize thats not alot of money when we're talking about good stuff but it's a good start. Thanks.

I was looking at costco at the Rebel xt the other day for $799. I was itchin to buy it myself.
I'd get some advice from Brett or Utahrob or some of the other more experienced photography guys on here but they seem to agree the rebel is a good camera. I think its what Brett uses.
Most of the guys have posts on what camera they use, and then you can see the kind of pictures they post on here.. That's what I've been doing. .

I've been looking into the same cameras. I'm leaning towards the
Nikon d80. From all I've read a cheaper body and more expensive lens is way better than a expensive body and cheap lens.
You may want to move the post over to the photography forum? A lot of ppl over there.
