I’ve always been interested in [someday] getting a digital SLR camera, ever since I figured out what ‘SLR’ was. Lately, I’ve been looking at more and more outstanding photos (mostly on here) and wanting one more and more. Even though I just got my first “serious” (cough, cough) camera last Christmas, I’ve very recently been looking at SLR’s on Ebay, craiglist, and such. I’m thinking of getting one used, since most of the nicer ones are way over my budget when new. Ebay hasn’t been very helpful, but earlier today I randomly decided to look on Craiglist and found a surprisingly good deal earlier.

I’m a little unsure, though. It’s in Los Gatos, CA, which is a good two hour drive from here, but that won’t be a big problem. My main reasons are that; 1) I still can’t be sure about the quality and reliability of this specific deal, and 2) that in the ways of SLRs, I’m completely hopeless.
If you look at my previous thread 'Decisions', I recently purchased a Pentax K1000 off of Ebay. It’s excellent so far, but as far as the lenses go--- I don’t even know if I’ve attached them to the camera correctly.
I really, really want a DLSR now (specifically a Canon Rebel), though. If I were to get one, I’d probably have to sell my current Kodak Easyshare Z612 (much to my sadness), and possibly even sell the “new” Pentax and go with the Nikon from my grandma, if she ends up giving it to me. I need to make a decision quickly, though, before this specific Canon that I’m looking at is sold.
Oh, and here are some photos of my Kodak Easyshare (the one I’m showing isn’t specifically mine) , though I’m doubtful I’ll be able to sell it for much. L
