Re: Starter kit on a budget.

I simply would not buy a DSLR on a budget, if it a tight budget I would go for something similar to my wife's Canon Power Shot A2550, which cost $90 when the model was still sold, it has been since discontinued.  I think the current model would be the A1440.  Its quick and easy to work with but does not allow the photographer to get into the picture taking mechanics.
