In you opinion, what digital camera SLR worth its price to a hobbist?

plus the part that it can be printed in a standard size pictures.

Get a Nikon D50. There is no delay between pictures at all and no delay between the time you press the button and the camera takes the picture. It has a few "consumer friendly" automatic modes that make it very easy to use, but still offers total photographic control when you are ready to take charge. The "kit" lens is a decent lens optically, but you might want to upgrade to the Nikkor AF-S 18-70 f/3.5-4.5G ED DX lens. When you are ready to add lenses, the sky is the limit with Nikon.

Get a 1 GB memory card, such as the Sandisk "Ultra" for decent write speed.

The memory card will cost $50-60 or so, depending on sales or rebates.

i have had my eye on the canon slr rebel but to be honest i dont want to shell out the money to buy it digital.. there are pros to having a digital but i love developing myown pictures and and the quality doesnt match up..

IN dig. cams,it proves always too early to buy any.

my suggestion would imbalance ur budget but later u will finf u did right.
buy 9-10 mega pix camera bcause very soon 7-8 megapix are going to b outdated as the 3megpix. !
or nokon d5 is ok.
