About Digital SLRs!!!

Hope this is the right place to ask this question.

I am not so experienced in digital cameras and have none at all in the field of SLRs. I want to get a New Digital SLR for myself... and now confused about the widely available brands and models.

Can anyone suggest me some excellent models please. I am getting it from US. Price within $1000. I would use it mostly for photography as a hobby.

Thanx in advance

well u can chek this site www.dpreview.com

i use a dslr canon 350D.
u can chek nikon d70s and d80.
canon 400D.

Canon 400D is a better choice at present, it comes with 18-55mm kit lens.
When ur hobby grows u can buy separate lenses later.

howz nikon d40 as a starting point ? i m a total novice and were planning to buy this one by next month.. its in low price too. please advice me too.

thanx all!!!

nice website sysfilez....chking tht out now!!!!

dont go for nikon d40 as it doesn't have a auto motor, and so the lens u will be buying will be very costly. instead go for d50, d70s
canon 400D is a good choice.

Nikon d40 is coming along with a kit lens of 18-55 @ around 25k only.. isn't it enough for entry level guy like me ? Buyin extra lens is far far away... or is it a big issue ?

well friend 2day u r buying d40 then tomorrow u will want to buy some lens and at that point of time u will face the problem. the kits lens is ok but not that good. for a beginer it will suffice. try getting a nikon d50 (very good one) instead if u r buying without bill.
u compare nikon d40 with canon 350D & 400D. go thru the review on net.
i will never buy a d40 or d40x.
one more thing nikon lenses are expensive.
