Q. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what brand/model of DSLR cameras are the easiest to use, in your opinion? Right now I just have a point and shoot (kodak), and I want to upgrade to a DSLR, but don't want to deal with a complicated camera (a ton of buttons and hard to follow menus). I have searched brands and models before but I just can't tell by what the websites say.
Any suggestions?

If you have been using a 35mm SLR for a few years, the time to learn the special differences in a digital camera may only take you a few more months. You have to remember to keep your eye on the lighting so you can change the ISO and white balance as necessary.
Right now there are a few Nikon D40's with 18-55mm lens (under $470) and Canon 400D's with 18-55mm lens (under $550) to start your shooting career.

Pick out a couple and then actually go into a store and hold both of them in your hands and see which one feels the best to you and your shooting style

Best brand for a DSLR camera?
Dazzling b
I really like photography and I want to buy a dslr camera. I am a beginner so I need an easy, lightweight, cheap yet excellent camera with a fast shuttter speed and crystal clear resolution? So what is the best brand and what is the best store I can buy one at?
Answer
With buying DSLR's, you generally want to buy the best that you can afford.
The entry level DSLRs offered by Canon and Nikon will not only give you excellent lens selections in their respective brands, they are lightweight, and relatively inexpensive.
Even though these entry-level DSLR's can reach shutter speeds of 1/4000 of a second, or faster, the photo will only be as good as how much light hits that little sensor. and that light is only as good as the glass it's traveling through. In other words, quality lenses are paramount to creating "crystal clear" images. This may take the "cheap" out of the equation, save for the 50mm f/1.8 lenses offered by both of these companies. These lenses are usually under $100, but are built as such. Good lenses can cost upwards of $2000 (some even adding another 0 for the super-telephotos).
I would recommend you read some books on DSLR's, or maybe some forums such as photo.net and canon/nikon user forums. Start out with a body, a good QUALITY lens (not a body/lens kit, as the kit lens tends to leave MUCH to be desired). and throw in one of the 50/1.8 to get the low-light, blurry background shots. Prime lenses usually make you work a little harder, and think a little harder to create your photographs...
As for purchasing, I usually buy from B&H, Adorama, or Amazon (all online, BEST prices, no sales tax!).
Good luck!
