Digital photography

it's an single lens reflex camera, who doesn't like looking through the lens unlike those bridge camera where all you see is an pixelated screen?

This is where the devision between "I am interested in taking photographs" and "I just need to quickly and easily take a photo of this" comes in.

but point taken, as I said I before, my vote goes to Nikon D40 as far as budget DSLR's go
