    Question Which digital SLR to buy and where?

    I am looking to buy a digital camera with two sets of lenses, 1 x 28-85mm and 1x 85-200mm. I have been an avid Nikon user all my life. But I am open to other brands since I have never tried a Digital SLR before. Hopefuly somebody in this forum can guide me to the right camera. My budget is about $1500 with both lenses and a decent flash if not already built in.

    After narrowing down to the right camera I would like to find a good online store to buy it from. I have been browsing the internet and seems to be quite amazed by price comparison sites like www.PriceComparison.com. What do you all think about buying from there?

    Thanks in advance.

    if you're a nikon person take a look at the D70. It can use older 35mm film lenses (how old I am not completely sure) so you could use yours most likely.

    You say you have been a Nikon user. If you have some Nikon 35mm lenses, go with the Nikon D70. If you are starting fresh, Canon has a wide range of choices from the digital Rebel and new Rebel XT, the 10D and 20D, and a few much more expensive choices. Don't forget Pentax, they have two models that are excellent. You might also look at the Minolta 7D which has some nice features.
