Canon - EOS-300D Digital Camera —

This camera, while an older model, still deserves a look for those wishing to enter the world of digital SLR, DSLR, photography. It is lightweight, easy to use and inexpensive. Browsing around eBay or pawn shops, it can be had for far less than a newer model.

An advantage to using this as an introductory camera is that any lenses purchased for this camera will also work with the newer Canon bodies. Therefore, if you purchase any other Canon, you won't have to get new lenses as well.
