suggest me a DSLR

When I bought my DSLR I was very confused on what brand to buy. My choices were Canon and Nikon brands. I chose to buy Nikon because all the people I know who has a DSLR uses Nikon and I thought that if I bought Nikon, those people could guide me on what accessories and lenses to buy because it is my first time buying a DSLR so I need all the guidance from my friends. I also considered the cost of lenses, they said that Nikon lenses are more cheaper compared to Canon lenses. That is how I decided in buying my DSLR. In regards to your 2nd question, If I were you, I will buy a brand new DSLR since you don't have any knowledge on DSLR camera, you will not know if the camera your are buying has a defect or not. You could search the internet but I think that is not enough. For me, experience is the best lesson

I suggest you try to buy a Canon 400d it has a excellent quality for its price. And because of the recent release of the higher model of Canon 450d, it becomes cheaper in the market. But I would also suggest Nikon D-80, but I think it is much expensive than the Canon 400d. About the lens thing. I think it depends on your preference. If you will pursue photography especially if you will make it a business, I would suggest you to buy good lenses. If not, you better try the standard lens first before investing next time to much expensive lenses. Because you "might" get tired of photography next time. Just be smart on spending your money

You should not be surprised that Canon sell twice as many DLRs as Nikon: you just get more for your money, and the quality is at least equal. That said, the Nikon D3 and D300 really were well ahead of the Canon equivalent models (yes: a lot more expensive, but better cameras); but that was last week. then the Canon 50D and D5 II were released and all bets are off. Don't try to compare brand against brand. Find the camera you like best with the features you want. Check out the specs (Betterphoto.com DPreview, flickr all have good unbiased reviews) then go to a dealer and try them out; see how they feel to you, because all modern cameras take good pictures, but it is photographers who make the photographs great...you want the tool that suits your approach and doesn't get in the way of your vision. So buy what you feel comfortable with, not what anyone else says is the best camera. You don't have to buy the camera from one of the dealers who lets you try out the cameras, but you may want to if they are helpful and seem to know their stuff: there is a lot to be said for establishing a long-term relationship with a good retailer.
