I started out with a film Minolta then went to Pentax and now Nikon. My budget could not afford a full frame DSLR so I went with D7000 and trying to keep my lens as full frame for when I upgrade. There are so many chooses out there for what ever budget you have. To me it is also the feel of the camera as my hands are small. But whatever camera you buy shot shot shot and have fun. Good luck and welcome. |

Canon and Nikon probably have the most package choices for different budgets. I like my Pentax and think they're worth a look also. Generally, I think Pentax has been very good at the issues of weight and feel of the camera. Pentax is not as popular as Nikon or Canon so you will have less choices of dealers for purchasing and service issues.
One last thing, depending on how much you have invested in Nikon lenses you may want to investigate if they can be used with a new Nikon dslr. You might lose some auto features but minimize you initial outlay by sticking with Nikon.
Good luck and have fun shopping. |

Elasto112, of course Canon7D or 5D are great, but they are quite expensive cameras,I would suggest buy a Rebel T3, the cheapest DSLR of Canon, its a great camera and have a good lens kit, you start with it, learn and upgrade later when you are already earning some money here.
You wont regret it, its very light and easy to use, and have all the controls you need for a start. |

Agree with Afagundes.....going from film straight up to 5D is going to get you very stressed out....get a good entry level DSLR with the kit lenses...upgrade your lenses as you go and later you can upgrade the body. The T3 will give you all you need for a start. I would however suggest maybe a 60D. You will grow out of the T3 very quickly. |

Hello
Nikon has a nice comparison tool for their models on their website www.nikonusa.com. It offers comparison information on their different models. As an FYI, from my recent experience, prices run roughly D3200 $500, D5100 $700, D7000 $1100.
Good luck !! |

Any current budget DSLR will get you started, I would suggest getting a standard 50mm lens so you can have sharp images from the start. Good luck! |

Don't think a lot about DSLR bodies. Anything would do since you're just starting out. What you should focus on are lenses because they would remain with you even if you upgrade a body.
If you photograph birds or butterflies or wildlife, you'll want a lens with higher focal length, say a max of 300mm (preferably zoom lens).
Doing scenery? You'll need a wide angle zoom lens. Say 18-55mm or something like that.
No use specializing in bird photography, buying a Canon 1D and having a 24mm wide angle lens from the remaining few bucks, right? Better have a 550D with a 300mm telephoto. Just my views. |

Go to a camera store and see what feels good in your hands--the size, weight, where the buttons are, etc. I have always been a Nikon user--Canon never felt right to me. |

The only problem with the T3 is that its quite plastic and fragile, unlike your F90X, of course. The 60D is much more hardened, but than its a budget question, maybe investing in lenses instead of the body as somebody said. |
