Cmrn
I am looking for a good Canon brand DSLR camera. I'm going to save up around $150-200 before October (my birthday) and I'll get birthday money so I will buy a Canon. What is a good and cheap (under $300) DSLR Canon camera? I don't want a giant screen at all, I don't really care for the screen but I need one that takes a memory card not film. I'd like a nice lens (manual focus obviously) links, and experince would be nice. Thanks!:)

I have a list of the best canon DSLRs in the market now but none of them are even close to $300:

If you can stretch your budget i recommend Canon EOS Rebel T3 12.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR with 18-55mm IS II Lens and EOS HD Movie Mode:

If not i suggest you get a nice high quality point and shoot canon camera. List of the best ones:

Which is the best DSLR camera brand?
Vic
Thanks
Answer
This is strongly subjective, people are usually very defensive of their own brands, I'm morally neutral (so to speak), as I'm looking at changing systems. The ones I will talk about are Sony, Canon, Nikon and Panasonic.
Sony only started making DSLRs a few years ago, but are already very popular. Whilst the cameras are superb, they don't seem to support the lower end of the market as much as they used to. The A33 is a superb camera though. Also, Sony G lenses are of reasonable build quality, and have nice glass. There is also a range of Carl Zeiss lenses (superb, possibly unbeatable glass) endorsed by Sony for those who are bonkers....and rich. Good, but not a cheap option anymore.
Canon is the brand of choice for most collages, schools and Unis. This is because as a rule, Canon is the cheapest system. You will get the most MPs and biggest sensors for your buck here. However, the price comes at a price.... The build quality on the majority of Canons is lightweight to say the least, so you have to buy into the high-end models if you want to abuse it. A good range of lenses for different levels of photographer.
Nikon are another of the DSLR market leaders. In terms of abuse, these cameras are the strongest. The low end models are not built to withstand much, but are better made than their Canon counterparts. You don't have to get that much higher up to get the magnesium-alloy bodies. The lenses here are the best established for quality, the glass has a good reputation, the build of the lenses is super as well, and can take a lot of abuse.
Finally, Panasonic is not a major player, but do make a range of DSLRs. These are the most compact DSLRs, are reasonably well built and are full of jingles. I wouldn't recommend them for the serious professional, as the lens range is not great, though panasonic do a lot of work with Leica, so the glass is good. If you are going to buy an SLR and stick it on auto most of the time, get a Panasonic, it has intelligent auto (which is a massive improvement).
Diagnosis:
-For the studio-bound student type: Canon/Sony
-For the adventurous action type: Nikon
-For the advanced amateur/artist: Sony
-For the individual who uses the Auto mode: Panasonic Lumix
