i have 300$, i want to have a dslr. what model can you suggest?

Depending on your currency,hehehe If it is in Pounds Sterlings, you might be able to get Nikon D60, Entry level Camera. If it is SG$, you will need to top up abit. D40 is too old, go for D60, just released this year. Light and good enough.

Canon ha DSLRs at about this price, and they are fine cameras; the Nikon is an easy camera to use, but quite old-tech and not in the same class as the equivalent Canons (the reverse is true with the current higher priced Nikons compared with the equivalenbt Canons). I wou;d look closely at Pentax and Sony. Both make excellent cameras with a wide range of lenses and accessories. They have image stabilisation in the camera bodies (Canon and Nikon do not - that means more expensive lenses if you want stabilisation) and as later starters in the DSLR stakes, they provide many innovations and extras as they push their cameras forward to compete with the BIG TWO.

I would suggest you buy a refirbished Canon or Nikon. You can save money with out giving up quality. You will have an excellent camera, not the newest, and as you have money you can buy good lens. Good Luck

Hi, I think that it is quite hard to get a DSLR at $300.00 because most DSLR are priced higher than $300.00. If you have extra money, you might want to get Nikon D40 because I think it is the cheapest DSLR in the market. It doesn't have live view, so taking photos using D40 can only be done using the view finder.

nikonD-40 is your choice.believe me . it is a quite good product for man who has not enough moey.
