user. Through the research I've done, I've seen the Canon Rebel XS, the Nikon D3000, and the Sony Alpha A330 mentioned as the best in this particular price range, but it's hard for me to value what the best features and/or interfaces are for someone most acclimated to the mid-range point-and-shoot type cameras.
As a quick note, I'd also like to mention that I do want a DSLR, so recommendations of point-and-shoots available in my price range simply won't be productive. The camera is for professional applications, so the budget was assigned expressly for purchase of a DSLR.
Thanks for the help!
Question about
As a prospective camera buyer with a budget of about $500, I'd like to know what the best entry-level DSLR would be for a relatively inexperienced camera…
I would suggest going with either Canon or Nikon as Sony is not as highly regarded as the first 2 both in the lens line-up and ergonomics (in my opinion).
Also... try waiting for a month or 2 because there are rumours that Nikon is going to release something that will replace the D3000 (so-called D4000)
As to which one to choose between those 2 brand... it all comes down to the ergonomic of the grip, I would suggest that you go to your nearest camera store and try holding the body, see if its comfortable in your hand.
Hope that helps.
