Hey,

I'm looking for a decent dlsr under 300. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Anyone own the Fiji Finepix s5200? If so how do you like it? Could you post pictures of images from the camera. Thanks,

Preston

Sorry it's not a Fuji, but I would recommend a Canon A620. It takes some fantastic pictures with the auto function, and better yet with a little practice. 7.1 MP and they've gotten pretty cheap lately as far as I know.
Below is the link to a couple pictures I've taken with it on the site(they're the last ones). These are all in macro, it also takes some great scenery stuff. If I had one added feature, it would be a longer zoom lens as it only comes with a 4x optical, (3x digital but you don't want to use that usually) Hope this helps

Hey Preston,

Are you looking for a DSLR (gidital single lens reflex)? This is a camera body, where you look through the lens when composing an image. This is opposed to a digital rangefinder, where you are not looking through the lens, but a separate rangefinder. DSLR typically offer the ability to change lenses, add external flash units etc. Digital rangefinders are often referred to as "point and shoot" cameras.

300 very litle money for a DSRL. You could try to get yourself a second-hand Nikon D50... But don't forget that you still have to get yourself a decent lens, memory, a camera bag.....

Finding a $300 for a used DSLR is a tough task (without lens). I have seen Canon D30 (not to be confused with the recent Canon 30D) in the $300 range. That is a 3.1 megapixel DSLR introduced in the fall of 2000. It is dated, but it still will produce photos.

You might get lucky and find a more recent Canon 300d (aka Digital Rebel) that was released in fall of 2003. This gives you 6.3 megapixel DSLR. Finding it for $300 should be hard, really hard.

Now lenses are on top of this.

you might be able to find a body for around $300 but I highly doubt you'll get a good quality complete camera package for $300. I think I rember Olympus selling bodys for around $350 that are refurbished on ebay might want to try there.

I have an olympus slr 5mp in excellent condition with bag and 256 mb memory card, remote control but no usb cable. not a problem with a card handy. I
have no idea how to use it and probably never will. i use my kodak 5mp with
12 optical zoom its easier for me. All those lenses and tech stuff confuses
me to no end. its a beatiful camera its just to complicated for me. Thought
about selling it on ebay but am hesitant because people will lie about
electronic stuff and say its broken. Its happened to me before with a
wireless card. I can post a pic.

that's not a digital slr camera sorry to say. Only the only slr's that olympus makes are E series the E-1 E-300 E-330 and E-500
