Why be that person? I should have known I'd wind up some trolls by expressing an opinion based on personal experience.
If we're going to make the need/want argument we may as well forget half the features of any current camera. You don't need 75 metering modes or a large bright screen or 480 focus points or blah. That is unless of course you do need them, heaven forbid. Not everyone takes pictures in the same way, of the same things, or for the same reasons..
No-one has even asked this guy what he's planning to shoot yet everyone seems to know exactly what would be best based on their own experience.
If the guy wants a cheap decent first DSLR, I still recommend a used d80 as a great, reasonably modern, compact, cheap and high specced place to start, that won't feel as old as it actually is. Sorry if that offends anyone!
