I'm looking for a camera for my 14 year old. She wants a dslr but the cheapest one is 500ish. Can anyone recommend a digital cam that is close to a dslr with features and options? She has a basic digi cam but wants to learn the ins and outs of photography. Thanks in advance. _________________ WakeSurf and Wakesurfing News |

I am a huge fan on the canon dslr's. I've used the XSi, the XTi and the 40d. If you can afford to pick up the XS or for a bit more I would get the XTi (little better for action photography) but either is a great entry. The XSi is at the higher end of "affordable" dslr's but personally I'd rather have an XTi with a killer lens than an XSi with better specs. That's just me though. I'm a 23 year old wake/snowboarder not a 14 year old high schooler. Heck it's only been 5 years since grad and I hardly remember high school. Hope that helps _________________ Isaiah 43:2 --> When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.

I sold my $3,000, full frame 5D and bought a G11. It's light, portable, and has full manual function like an SLR. It has just as much to learn as a Rebel or similar.
I really like the custom setting as well. The dial has two custom setting where the user can define them. I have mine set with B&W and Sepia, I can take a shot in color, make one click and take it in B&W and another click to Sepia. You can do other settings that enhance color saturation, focus points or exposure. _________________
