I know all of you guys rock the D80 or better, but I'm looking for something more entry level. Does anyone have one that they are looking to sell.

I thought that I had one on craigslist for $300, but I wasn't quick enough.

Any other suggestions for an entry slr?

I have a D40. I'm no photographer but it's a lot of camera.

Dont get a d40. If you're trying to get into photography, canon offers a MUCH nicer entry level line.

The d40 requires the autofocus motor to be inside the lens vs inside the body thus making lenses more expensive.

I'd reccomend a canon XT($250 refurb'd on adorama) and chose your lens.

Get an old school film SLR camera

Way easier and more fun to shoot with than any DSLR

Look around on www.fredmiranda.com in the buy and sell section.

I got a Canon 30D a few weeks ago and love it, eBay has bodies only for cheap.

frankycouplepuphs, The D40 is a great little camera, check out B & H Photo they have great deals on cameras. But if you can I would save up a little more and get a D90 (I think thats the best camera out for the money, but I am a Nikon man). Anyways if you get the D40 it will not take long before you grow out of it and wish yo would have just gotton a D90. Just my two cents.

Thanks for the advice guys. Ive found a used d40 w/lens and used d50 w/ lens for $325 each. The d50 has the motor in the body, but its older than the d40. Anyway, I'll probably end up with one those.
