depends on your price range...could be anywhere from 250-thousands. but here are a couple you could look into. keep in mind, these dont go really wide so i would highly suggest getting a wide angle lens..especially for those rolling shots:wink:

ive never personally used these lenses cuz i shoot nikon, but these are suggestions with me banking on them being similar quality to nikons lenses.

pro-sumer grade..decent all around lens.

another decent all around lens

this is a great all around lens for being from a third party company

one of the best wide angles for the price..comparable to canon/nikon equivalents.

if you have deeper pockets then we can talk about prettier lenses haha

so a 300 dollar camera with a good lens wil take some nice pics ?

bitch please
I don't think you should get a dSLR if you're just starting out.
Look at one of the prosumer point & shoots like a Canon G9 or G10.
Something that lets you take a bit of manual control, but also serves as a great everyday camera. Those two have screw on wide angle/telephoto extenders if you're keen.

You'll learn a lot about photography and won't have to lug a f'kin huge bag around. Any dSLR is wasted on P/Auto/Green Square mode :)
Which is where you'll spend most of your time if you're new to photography.

I think you want a camera that will let you experiment and go nuts shooting everything around you rather than baffling you with a super steep learning curve.
The images count, not the gear. I think you'll get some great quality shots with a G9/G10.

With a great point and shoot you can get a feel for it and see if you want to jump up to an SLR at a later date.

im going to have to disagree with you on this one. him getting a G9 or something similar will just be wasting money/putting off the inevitable. i think a great way to learn the basics of photography is to get a beginner dslr and just start messing around with it. also, with the size of new dslr's these days, you dont need to get a big bag...unless youre gonna have a plethora of lenses. for example, i think a D60/D80 with a 18-200mm VR is a great starter setup, and its not even that big.
