Too much money for amateur like me. I want to spend less than $1K.
Buy a Canon EOS 350D, I have one and it is perfect, just be sure to have money for additional lenses! From $1k you should be able to buy the camera + one very good lens, or 2 average ones.
350d is old, the 500d is a newer camera, way better, and shoots full hd video. And yes, a nice "L" lense will do you good.
The new Sony line is awesome.Too much money for amateur like me. I want to spend less than $1K.
