What camera should I get? What's the best camera?

I want a nice digital camera. I take pictures just for fun, but want a high quality camera. For price, under 500 is preferred. I would prefer a Cannon. I don't know the name for this type of digital camera, but I want one like this with those nice big lenses-

What's the camera for me?

I don't know much about cameras, so flood me with your amazing knowledge!

Ironically, the camera you're showing is Nikon camera a D40x, a rival to the Canon.

If you want something similar, the camera by Canon is called the Canon Digital Rebel XTi. However, it costs more than $500.

If you want a similar camera, but with a lower price, look for the Pentax K100D, which is about $445 with a basic lens and free shipping (try http://www.buydig.com for example).

You can add lenses as your needs/skills change.

you should get a sony camera its the best and durable with nice digital print outsso i say go for the sony camera !!!1

Look for a camera with the best metering system. Besides the lens, this will be the most important part on a digital camera. Spend just a hair more, and I mean just a hair and get a camera that has interchangeable lenses called a digital SLR. Cannon and Nikon are the best and you can take that to the bank.

Buy a sony handycam. It is good for great photo
