Digital SLR, Cameras Options

A friend of mine has a Canon Rebel series digital SLR, and speaks very highly of it. I've never used enough to compare, though, so I can't speak from first-hand knowledge.

I've used a Canon 20D for the last 2,000 or so pictures I've taken. It's somewhat affordable and has proven to be durable and able to withstand the elements. 10.2mp is a lot. Do you need that much size? The # of mp doesn't denote quality.

The environment that you shoot in and type of subject matter are important factors to consider. Do you need fast access to controls, wide range iso for low light, fast frame rate for action? Do you already have compatible lenses?

You need to anticipate the primary purpose for selecting a camera and how several cameras rate in that type of application before determining the best camera for you.

Both my avvie and sig images were taken w/ an old school Sony f707 cybershot.

Ohh and fujifilm is the way to go if you dont want to spend that much for a quality camera. i am also planning to buy an slr when i go to college i was thinking of buying one but i wanna be sure that i buy the right one when i start taking classes.
