[QUOTE="PastorDATM, post: 633648, member: 43918"] Hi Don. I'm back to take a stab at your questions. Budget for the body is $1K and down but willing to consider previously owned and Nikon refurbished for upper end models. The less I spend here the more I'll have for glass and other accessories. What don't I want to shoot: underwater, microscopic, solar, etc. (things that require specialized body, lenses, or both) What do I want to shoot: my world as I see it from a wheelchair which could be any subject matter that catches my eye. I want to be prepared for just about anything and I want the camera to do most of the work on the fly but allowing me to override settings manually when desired. As you can see, I want a very flexible camera system that doesn't require five college degrees to understand the camera's functions. I'm coming from a 35mm SLR (Minolta SRT-102) and this will be my first and probably last DSLR.
