Okay, I'm going to keep this as simple as possible. I have been weighing my options for a new DSLR. I haven't been into photography since High School, 10 years ago. I have been looking and reading up on a variety of cameras and I really need some opinions... So here's what I want and what I can spend...
I would like to get 10 mp, and price is something to consider. I don't want to buy used gear so that is out. I have looked at all of the low-end and mid-end DSLR's and I suppose here is my question. Can I get away with buying an Olympus 410? Or should I spend the money for the Nikon D80??? I don't want to spend more than a 1000$. I suppose what I am wondering is would a cheap Olympus 410 be sufficient for a beginner or after a few months will I be sorry I didn't buy the D80??? I realize they are two totally different animals, but I was wondering what everyone else did when they were starting out and is there really that much of a difference in features between the entry-level and the pro-sumer? Thanks in advance.
