[QUOTE="Bill16, post: 228916, member: 15356"] This is a very tuff question. If you seriously looking into learning to become a photographer, then a DSLR is the way to go, and the D3100 is the cheapest Nikon that is current that I know of. But there are older Nikon DSLRs like the D100 that can be bought for about $150.00 on eBay. They are older with less MPs but would still work fine to learn with while you save for a newer model. And there are less expensive lenses you can buy as you can, and buy one now and then when you have some money. :) But if you just wanting to take some snapshots now and then, then a point and shoot style of camera will work with much better results in your current budget. I don't have much knowledge about this style of camera, so others could advise you much better than I can. [/QUOTE]
