What is a good digital SLR camera for beginners?
I would like buy a digital SLR camera for my husband for Christmas this year. I would like to spend less than $700 or not much more.
I’m not sure which camera would be best suited for us.
At Best Buy, the salesman recommended the Nikon SLR D40 – should I be concerned that it’s only 6 megapixles?
What camera would you recommend I get?
(If it would be super if you could provide a link to the camera you recommend!)
Thanks!
I would suggest that you check out the Digital SLR Guide website -

They are geared toward matching a user to an appropriate DSLR using a step by step approach to finding a good match. They provide a number of valuable tools to help sort out the huge amount of information put out by the camera makers. Their business model is to sell inexpensive on-line photography courses to users so they provide good guidance in the hopes of gaining customers who want to get the most out of a DSLR.
They also seem to provide pretty good reviews of various cameras and up to date news on product releases & problems.
A 6MP camera will be fine, check out the information from DSLR guide on this topic -
