Actually the wife knows about his one. She wanted a new point and shoot, I wanted an SLR, I think we compromised and got one we can both enjoy.

The are so many frigging setting I dont know where to start. I am use to turning my camera on and snapping pictures. Hope you guys dont get tired of me asking questions in the near future.

I am going to try and get out Saturday for a while. I will be in Spokane for two days so maybe I will start with some snow shots. Plenty of it here.

Point and shoot, you can't go wrong with the pani...as for dslr, aobu thte only one I can think of off hand that has a good rep is the Nikkon D40.  Its a few back in terms of newest out there, but has a pretty good reputation.  Lots of used ones out there if you want to put your money into a lens, or new will put you in about that range with its standard lens I believe.

There was a good condition Canon 30D on craigslist this morning for $300...  Of course it's already gone, but I regularly see 10-30D Canon cameras on there for $300-$700. 

Oh, I guess there are also some Nikon's occasionally...

And don't forget about the little brother Rebel.

One thing to remember with a DSLR is if you have some nice lenses from a SLR you might be able to use them on your DSLR depending on the model. For example I have some Minolta lenses. Sony bought them out so my Leanses will fit on their a100 or a110.
