Answer
I love my Sony DSLR A100.
It has been rated at the best DSLR under $1,000 in several photography magazines, as well as being mentioned as winning Popular photographyâs âCamera of the Yearâ http://www.popphoto.com/popularphotographyfeatures/3440/the-camera-of-the-year-2006.html
From the article, âEnjoy the all-new Sony® α (alpha) DSLR-A100K camera with an amazing all-around lens to get you started. Included in this kit is the versatile new SAL-1870 lens. This standard lens easily handles the full range of shots youâll take most oftenâbut thereâs nothing âstandardâ about its advanced optical design. In 35mm equivalent, it covers wide-angle 27mm to 105mm midrange telephoto for snapshots, portraits, interiors and moreâan excellent all-around lens to travel with.
The Sony® α (alpha) DSLR-A100 camera is an instant classic: the top-quality 10 MP DSLR system camera that builds on a two-decade legacy of Minolta photographic leadership, accepts 20 years of A-mount lenses sold worldwideâand introduces Sony® imaging innovations like high-sensitivity shooting with Super SteadyShot® in-camera image stabilization, Dynamic Range Optimizer to automatically increase detail in bright and dark picture areas, new Anti-Dust technology to keep the CCD imager clean for better pictures, and Eye-Start® Autofocus system for faster camera response.â

Personally, I got the kit with the 18-70mm lens and the 75-200 lens. All for about $1,100. I love the camera. Iâve been using SLRâs for over 20 years, and after months of research, I chose the Sony. I have no regrets. I personally would get a larger memory card, nothing less than 2GB...but with that package, it's a deal.
Do your research, good luck, and I hope youâre happy with what you decide!

What's the best DSLR package for <$1000?

So far I'm looking at a Canon EOS Rebel T2i (550D) along with the 18-55IS lens, a case, and a 16gb SDHC card for around $1000. I'm open to all brands pretty much, but I really want the most for my money. I figured the HD video and the (huge) megapixel count would be pretty goot pluses, but I am kind of new to DSLRs. Thanks!
Answer
These days there are nothing but crazy deals for DSLR's. If you want to go toward the high end of your budget, I would recommend the following:
Canon T2i-$799.95 on Ebay-many seller and many different kit options
Nikon D90-$799.95 Arlington Cameras
http://www.arlingtoncamera.com/shop/products/Nikon_D90_Digital_SLR_Camera_Body-7602-8.html
Pentax K7-$879.99 from Ebay-Price will probably drop soon
The cameras a step above these are much more than a $1000
If you want for a more budget conscience option, then go for
Pentax KX - under $500
Canon T1i - can be found for $599 if you look
Nikon D5000 - around $500
If size is an issue, then go for
Sony Nex 3 -$559 and probably the best video of all of these
Olympus E-PL1- $500 and just really cool looking, its a neat camera
Panasonic GF1-$799 but a really awesome camera. This is future.
These are all excellent cameras that will take great pictures and video. The importance of megapixel is bit overrated. For example, one of Nikon's most powerful camera , the D3s which sell for $5000 , has only 12mp but easily has better image quality than the Canon T2i which has 15. What is more important is learning good photographic skills. After that would be quality lenses. Most photographers would rather have a great lens on a lesser camera than the other way around.
The camera you should chose is the one you feel most comfortable with. So go to the store and try some out.The one that feels best in your hand and is the easiest for you to use( not the simplest) is the one to get.
