You'll never get the mud of of your flux capacitor...
It's a nice camera and I've never heard anything bad about B&H.....
My mom doesn't like Canon but she doesn't use digital.
Since I got off of Abe's of Maine I was looking at this at B&H

If I get this I should probably get another lens to go with it? Are there any decent lenes under 200 bucks or am I better off waiting and getting something in the 400-500 range.
Just get one of these and get it over with:

EDIT: Maybe you can convince your boss to let you keep that guys 7K deposit.
God damn for that kind of money it better suck my after taking the picture.
Hey, can I get dibs on this camera when you sell it a month from now? I'll give you 40% of what you paid for it.

If you spend that kind of money maybe your wife will, or she'll ask you what the were you thinking?
If you haven't bought yet - I suggest also checking out J&R for Pricing. http://www.jr.com/
I just got a nice entry-level Canon EOS Rebel XS kit (18-55mm lens) as a gift that only costs $500 from them. I've bought with great success from them before as well.
double post.

This is a good site.
B2B, some of my thoughts.
Even cheap glass on a DSLR is going to beat the out of a point and shoot. I have a $105 Nikkor lens for my Nikon D50 and it's a very quality piece of work. For non-professionals, it does everything you want and more.
Personally I would recommend the Nikon D90. For around $1000 you get a fantastic camera, a decent lens, and as a bonus it shoots video as well.
Cheaper than that, the D40/D50 are excellent cameras in a very affordable price range.
Also look to Amazon, they generally have detailed reviews on additional lenses. I'm guessing your wife will want an 18 or 28 to 80 mm lens, something along those lines, unless she likes to zoom way in on the subject.
You really do want to invest all you can in the camera to start, because that's the one thing you can't upgrade later.
The 18 to 55mm lens is going to be fine for most photography, but if she's going to shoot close ups at a sporting event or zoom in on wildlife, you want at minimum a 200mm lens.
I have a 28-80, and a 55-200. I think they are perfect compliments to each other, and I use my wide angle (the former) FAR more. It's a $70 Tamron and it takes excellent photographs. I'm by no means a pro, but DSLRs will do a phenomenal job with even basic lenses unless you're looking for National Geographic quality of detail. There is no beating a $2000 lens with a really quick focus, but there is definitely a point of diminishing returns. A $200 lens should be more than adequate for most photography.

I pulled the trigger. Got an extra battery. Just at 750 bucks. I'll get another lens once I know more about this stuff.
Thanks. Thats actually a good little read.
I'll probably get some stuff from there. Pricing seems good.
By looking at the specs, that was probably your best choice for price vs. quality. 12.6 mexapixils, raw format, interchangeable lenses...
Meets my criteria!
I prefer Nikon but Canon is ok...
