Well, after reading a ton of reviews based on recommendations from this website and following links to other reviews, I believe I found the DSLR that I want.
First a little background on me... I have virtually no photographic experience other than point & shoot. I have been inspired by the plethora of amazing pictures on this website and would like to start a new hobby. I have no brand loyalty to either Canon or Nikon. After reading many posts here, I think the best route for me to follow is the "buy a cheap body and spend money on the glass" philosophy that many people preach on EXPO. This will allow me to get my feet wet without spending too much $$$$.
To that end, my first choice right now is the Nikon D80. So far I have found it for sale with an 18-135mm lens and a 1GB SD card for $1299.
Am I on the right track here???:088:
