Do you have a camera or a price point in mind?

Re: whats the best information you received from this site so far?

Maybe in a few months I could spare $300.

I have learned SO MUCH!!

From spider mite elimination to compost, the frequency of what kind & type of fertilizer & how much of that what to put on my bananas, germination & Tissue Culturing information...the list goes on & on!!!

Friendships & trading & seeds & advise on so many, many things!

My Family & I happened into this site on a whim of...'Hey, let's try & grow bananas!"...we are better because of it.

Thank you to everyone...the people, the information, the interaction...
Is what keeps us coming back!

Richard, the Nikon D40 has been out long enough now that you can find some deals on them. Probably much better than these but this is what's available right now on Craigslist in your area.

Nikon D40 DSLR with 18-55mm AF-S DX Zoom Nikkor Lens

Or search a bit for a D70
nikon d70 body

I don't really know Cannon but I'm sure there are deals to had there too. The thing to keep in mind in choosing between the two is that used Nikon lenses are cheaper and more plentiful and that is where you want to spend your money!

The camera that Benny bought is not a DSLR but does have a really nice Zies lens. The same quality lens for a DSLR would be very pricey even used. But....like I said when those cameras break they are a throw away because they cost more to fix then to buy another used one.

On DSLR's you can check the click count which is also important. I can't remember how many clicks is too many but a simple search would tell you that.

If you find something still under warranty make sure it's an American camera, not a gray market one. I have a friend who also bought a new D90 but unknowingly bought a gray market one and of course it has problems and the warranty is not so great to say the least. I told her to return it as soon as she found out but she decided not to and now regrets that decision. She's now looking for another camera, a full frame Nikon with an American warranty!

Learn something every day! Apparently Canon can use Nikon glass but not vice versa. Also the Nikon D40 and D60 can only use AFS glass so if you want to use some of the older manual focus glass you'll want to avoid those bodies and go for a D50, D70, D80 or D90. But Canon messed things up in 85.

On the other hand, Canon flushed compatibility down the toilet in 1985 when it created a new and completely incompatible system of AF cameras and lenses called EOS. Nothing works together before or after the great divide of 1985.

Here is a really good article about Nikon vs Canon.

I learned that liberal and conservative people can get along in the common goal of growing bigger bananas and other plants as long as dick cheney isn't posting pictures of dead animals, telling dirty jokes or talking about his taxbreaks :^)

Thanks Mitchel. It appears I should focus (!) on the D70.
